A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Salo'me (search)
minister of Obodas, king of the Nabathaeans, and his ambassador at the Jewish court. Again, when Herod, lending a ready ear to the calumnties against his son Alexander, had thrown him into prison, the young man retaliated with charges of treason against Pheroras and Salome. whereby the king's perplexity and tormenting suspicion were greatly increased. At length, however, the machinations of Salome and her accomplices prevailed against the princes, and succeeded in effecting their death, in B. C. 6. Nor was the favoutr of Herod ever afterwards withdrawn from his sister, who was prudent enough, indeed, to cultivate it assiduously. Thus, listening to the advice of the empress Livia, she obeyed her brother in marrying Alexas, his confidant, though sorely against her will; and she detected and put him on his guard against the treasonable designs of ANTIPATER and Pheroras. It was to her accordingly, and to her husband Alexas, as those upon whom he could best depend, that Herod, on his deat

circumstances, however, which Valerius Maximus relates respecting his escape, are told by Appian (App. BC 4.45), with reference to one Pomponius. [ POMPONIUS, No. 14.] Saturninus was rewarded for his desertion of Pompeius by the consulship, which he held in B. C. 19, with Q. Lucretius Vespillo. Velleius Paterculus celebrates his praises for the manner in which he carried on the government during his consulship, and for his opposition to the seditious schemes of Egnatius Rufus. [RUFUS, EGNATIUS, No. 2.] After his consulship he was appointed to the government of Syria, in connection with which he is frequently mentioned by Josephus. He was succeeded in the government by Quintilius Varus (D. C. 54.10; Frontin. de Aquaed. 10 ; Vell. 2.92 ; J. AJ 16.10.8, 16.11.3, 17.1.1, 17.3.2, 17.5.2, B. J. 1.27.2). Josephus J. AJ 16.11.3) speaks of three sons of Saturninus, who accompanied him as legati to Syria, and who were present with their father at the trial of Herod's sons at Berytus in B. C. 6.
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Theodo'rus (search)
Theodo'rus 37. Of GADARA (*Qeo/dwros *Gadareu/s), an eminent rhetorician of the age of Augustus. His surname indicates his birth-place, Gadara, in the country east of the Jordan. (See also Strabo, Geogr. lib. xvi. p. 759, Casaub.) He is said to have been originally a slave (Suidas). He appears to have settled at Rhodes, where Tiberius, afterwards emperor, during his retirement (from B. C. 6 to A. D. 2) to that island, was one of his hearers. (Quintil. Instit. Orat. lib. iii. c. 1. ยงยง 17, 18; comp. Seneca, Suasoria, iii. sub fin.) According to Suidas he was also settled at Rome, where he was the rival of Polemon and Antipater, the rhetoricians (Suidas, s.v. *Qeo/dwros *Gadareus). Whether his settlement at Rome preceded that at Rhodes is uncertain : it is likely that it did, and that Tiberius received instruction from him in rhetoric in his boyhood, as well as in maturer years, during his retreat at Rhodes. By this supposition we may reconcile the statement given above from Quintilian

the news of the accident, Tiberius was sent by Augustus, who was then at Pavia, to Drusus, whom he found just alive. (D. C. 55.2.) He conveyed the body to Rome from the banks of the Rhine, walking all the way before it on foot (Sueton. Tiber. 7), and he pronounced a funeral oration over his brother in the forum. Tiberius returned to the war in Germany, and crossed the Rhine. In B. C. 7 he was again in Rome, was made consul a second time, and celebrated his second triumph. (Vell. 2.97.) In B. C. 6 he obtained the tribunitia potestas for five years, but during this year he retired with the emperor's permission to Rhodes, where he spent the next seven years. Tacitus (Tac. Ann. 1.53) says that his chief reason for leaving Rome was to get away from his wife, who treated him with contempt, and whose licentious life was no secret to her husband : probably, too, he was unwilling to stay at Rome when the grandsons of Augustus were attaining years of maturity, for there was mutual jealousy be
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Vetus (search)
Vetus 3. C. Antistius Vetus, son of No. 2, was consul in B. C. 6 with D. Laelius Balbus; and as he lived to see both his sons consuls, he must have been alive at least as late as A. D. 28. (D. C. 55.9; Vell. 2.43.) He was a friend of Velleius Paterculus, from whom we learn (l.c.) that Vetus was a pontifex.
