A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Re'bilus (search)
Re'bilus 2. M. Caninius Rebilus, probably a brother of the preceding, was sent by the senate into Macedonia, in B. C. 170, along with M. Fulvius Flaccus, in order to investigate the reason of the want of success of the Roman arms in the war against Perseus. In B. C. 167 he was one of the three ambassadors appointed by the senate to conduct the Thracian hostages back to Cotys. (Liv. 43.11, 45.42.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Rho'dophon (search)
Rho'dophon （*(Rodofw=n), a Rhodian, was one of those who, when hostilities broke out between Perseus and the Romans, in B. C. 171, strove successfully to retain their countrymen in their alliance with Rome, and continued throughout the war to adhere firmly to the Roman cause. In B. C. 167, when the anger of the senate against the Rhodians had been with difficulty appeased by Astymedes and his fellow-ambassadors [comp. PHILOPHRON and POLYARATUS], Rhodophon and Theaetetus were appointed to convey to Rome the present of a golden crown. (Polyb. xxvii 6, 28.2, 30.5; comp. Liv. 45.20, &c.) [E.
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Sci'pio (search)
Sci'pio 18. L. Cornelius Scipio Asiaticus, the son of the conqueror of Antiochus [No. 13]. The following is the inscription on his tomb: "L. Corneli L. F. P. N. Scipio quaist. tr. mil. annos gnatus XXXIII. mortuos. Pater regem Antioco(m) subegit" (Orelli, Inscr. No. 556). As he is here called quaestor, he is probably the same as the L. Cornelius Scipio, the quaestor, who was sent to meet Prusias and conduct him to Rome, when this monarch visited Italy in B. C. 167 (Liv. 45.44).

, and was adopted by P. Scipio, the son of the conqueror of Hannibal [No. 14], whose mother was a sister of L. Aemilius Paulus. He was born about B. C. 185. In his seventeenth year he accompanied his father Paulus to Greece, and fought under him at the battle of Pydna, in B. C. 168 (Liv. 44.44 ; Plut. Aemil. Paul. 22). While in Greece he probably became acquainted with the historian Polybius ; and when the latter was sent to Rome, along with the other Achaean exiles, in the following year, B. C. 167, Scipio afforded him the patronage and protection of his powerful family, and formed with him that close and intimate friendship which continued unbroken throughout his life. Scipio appears from his earliest years to have devoted himself with ardour to the study of literature ; and he eagerly availed himself of the superior knowledge of Polybius to direct him in his literary pursuits. He was accompanied by the Greek historian in almost all his campaigns, and in the midst of his most active

Stra'tius （*Stra/tios). 1. An Achaean of Tritaea, was one of the deputies who met to deliberate concerning the course to be pursued at the breaking out of the war between Perseus and the Romans (B. C. 169). Though his sentiments were hostile to Rome, he dissuaded his countrymen from taking any active part against the republic (Plb. 28.6). He was one of the Achaeans afterwards carried to Rome in B. C. 167, to await the judgment of the senate, and an embassy sent thither by his countrymen in B. C. 160, had for its chief object to obtain the liberation of him and Polybius (Id. 32.7). He was not, however, set free till long after, when he returned to his native country, where we find him thenceforth taking a strong part in support of the Roman influence, and opposing the destructive counsels of Critolaus and Diaeus. (Id. 38.5, 40.4
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Stra'tius (search)
Stra'tius 2. A physician and friend of Eumenes II., king of Pergamus, who was sent by him to Rome in B. C. 167, to restrain as well as observe the ambitious designs of his brother Attalus. By his prudent admonitions he succeeded in recalling that prince to a sense of duty. (Plb. 30.2; Liv. 45.19.) [E.H.B]
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Sulla (search)
Sulla 3. SER. CORNELIUS SULLA, the brother of No. 2, was one of the ten commissioners, who was sent by the senate into Macedonia, in B. C. 167, after the conquest of Perseus, in order to arrange the affairs of that country, in conjunction with L. Aemilius Paulus. (Liv. 45.17.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Te'lecles (search)
Te'lecles （*Thleklh=s), was one of the ambassadors sent by the Achaeans to Rome, in B. C. 160, to solicit the restoration of the remnant of the 1000 exiles, who had been taken by the Romans to Italy, in B. C. 167, after the conquest of Macedonia. Telecles and his colleague Xenon, were especially enjoined to intercede on behalf of Polybius and Stratius, and to use towards the Roman senate no language but that of supplication. Their prayer was refused, and, in B. C. 155, Telecles and Xenon were sent again to Rome on the same mission. On this occasion the senate was more favourable to them, and there would have been a Majority for granting their request, had it not been for the manoeuvring of A. Postumius (the praetor who presided) in putting the question. (Plb. 32.7, 33.1.) In the latter of these passages Polybius calls Telecles to\n *Ai)lea/thn, hilt the conjectural substitution of *Tegea/thn is highly plausible. [E.

and Calabria, for the use of the army and fleet in the war against Perseus. (Liv. 34.42, 43, 42.27.) Thalna 2. L. Juventius Thalna, served in Spain in B. C. 185, as legats to the praetor Calpurnius Piso. (Liv. 39.31, 38.) Thalna 3. M'. Juventius Thalna, L. F. T. N., son of No. 2, was tribune of the plebs B. C. 170, when, in conjunction with his colleague Cn. Aufidius, he accused the praetor C. Lucretius, on account of his tyrannical and oppressive conduct in Greece. He was praetor in B. C. 167, and obtained the jurisdictio inter peregrinos; and in this year he proposed to the people, without previously consulting the senate, that war should be declared against the Rhodians, in hopes of obtaining the command himself. His proposition was vehemently opposed by the tribunes M. Antonius and M. Pomponius. He was consul in B. C. 163, with Ti. Sempronius Gracchus, and carried on war against the Corsicans, whom he subdued. The senate in consequence voted him the honour of a thanksgiving;
