A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Albi'nus (search)
Albi'nus 15. L. Postumius Albinus, A. F. A. N., probably a brother of No. 13 and 14, was praetor B. C. 180, and obtained the province of further Spain. His command was prolonged in the following year. After conquering the Vaccaci and Lusitani, he returned to Rome in 178, and obtained a triumph on account of his victories. (Liv. 40.35, 44, 47, 48, 50, 41.3, 11.) He was consul in 173, with M. Popillius Laenas; and the war in Liguria was assigned to both consuls. Albinus, however, was first sent into Campania to separate Mathe land of the state from that of private persons ; and this business occupied him all the summer, so that he was unable to go into his province. He Was the first Roman magistrate who put the allies any expense in travelling through their territories ries. (41.33, 42.1, 9.) The festival of the Floralia, which had been discontinued, was restored in his consulship. (Ov. Fast. 5.329.) In 171, he was one of the ambassadors sent to Masinissa and the Carthaginians in orde
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Aristobu'lus (search)
Aristobu'lus 3. An Alexandrine Jew, and a Peripatetic philosopher, who is supposed to have lived under Ptolemy Philometor (began to reign B. C. 180), and to have been the same as the teacher of Ptolemy Evergetes. (2 Maccab. 1.10.) Works Aristobulus is said to have been the author of commentaries upon the books of Moses (*)Echgh/seis th=s *Mwu+se/ws grafh=s), addressed to Ptolemy Philometor, which are referred to by Clemens Alexandrinus (Strom. i. pp. 305, b. 342, b. v. p. 595c. d), Eusebius (Euseb. Praep. Ev. 7.13, 8.9, 9.6, 13.12), and other ecclesiastical writers. The object of this work was to prove that the Peripatetic philosophy, and in fact almost all the Greek philosophy, was taken from the books of Moses. It is now, however, admitted that this work was not written by the Aristobulus whose name it bears, but by some later and unknown writer, whose object was to induce the Greeks to pay respect to the Jewish literature.

Auguri'nus 9. TI. MINUCIUS (AUGURINUS) MOLLICULUS, was praetor peregrinus B. C. 180, and died of the pestilence which visited Rome in that year. (Liv. 40.35, 37.)

Calpu'rnia Gens plebeian, pretended to be descended from Calpus, the third of the four sons of Numa; and accordingly we find the head of Numa on some of the coins of this gens. (Plut. Num. 21; Hor. Ars Poet. 292; Festus, s. v. Calpurni; Eckhel, v. p. 160.) The Calpurnii are not mentioned till the time of the first Punic war, and the first of them who obtained the consulship was C. Calpurnius Piso in B. C. 180; but from this time their consulships are very frequent, and the family of the Pisones becomes one of the most illustrious in the Roman state. The family-names under the republic are BESTIA, BIBULUS, FLAMMA, and PISO, and some of the Pisones are distinguished by the surnames of Caesoninus and Frugi.

Dolabella 2. Cn. Cornelius Dolabella, was inaugurated in B. C. 208 as rex sacrorum in the place of M. Marcius, and he held this office until his death in B. C. 180. (Liv. 27.36, 40.42.)

Dolabella 3. L. Cornelius Dolabella, was duumvir navalis in B. C. 180. In that year his kinsman, Cn. Cornelius Dolabella, the rex sacrorum, died, and our Dolabella wanted to become his successor. But C. Servilius, the pontifex maximus, before inaugurating him, demanded of him to resign his office of duumvir navalis. When Dolabella refused to obey this command, the pontifex inflicted a fine upon him. Dolabella appealed against it to the people. Several tribes had already given their vote that Dolabella ought to obey, and that he should be released from the fine if he would resign the office of duumvir navalis, when some sign in the heavens broke up the assembly. This was a fresh reason for the pontiff's refusing to inaugurate Dolabella. As duumvir navalis he and his colleague, C. Furius, had to protect the eastern coast of Italy with a fleet of twenty sail against the Illyrians. (Liv. 40.42; 41.5.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Equester (search)
Equester and in Greek *(/Ippios, occurs as a surname of several divinities, such as Poseidon (Neptune), who had created the horse, and in whose honour horse-races were held (Serv. ad Virg. Georg. 1.12; Liv. 1.9; Paus. 5.15.4), of Aphrodite (Serv. ad Aen. 1.724), Hera (Paus. 5.15.4), Athena (Paus. 1.30.4, 31.3, 5.15.4, 8.47.1), and Ares. (Paus. 5.15.4.) The Roman goddess Fortuna bore the same surname, and the consul Flaccus vowed a temple to her in B. C. 180, during a battle against the Celtiberians. (Liv. 40.40, 42.3.) Tacitus (Tac. Ann. 3.71) mentions a temple of Fortuna Equestris at Antium. [L.S]

thought that he was going to carry out some hostile scheme against them, attacked him in a narrow defile. Notwithstanding his disadvantageous position, he again gained a complete victory, the merit of which was chiefly owing to his cavalry. The Celtiberians, after having lost no less than 17,000 of their men, took to flight. Fulvius Flaccus vowed games in honour of Jupiter, and to build a temple to Fortuna equestris, and then returned to Italy. He celebrated his victories with a triumph in B. C. 180, and was elected consul for the year following, together with his brother, L. Manlius Acidinus Fulvianus (this name arose from his being adopted into the family of Manlius Acidinus). The games in honour of Jupiter were sanctioned by the senate and celebrated. He carried on a war against the Ligurians, who were defeated, and whose camp was taken. On his return to Rome, he celebrated a second triumph on the same day on which the year before he had triumphed over the Celtiberians. In B. C. 17

Flaccus, Fu'lvius 9. Q. Fulvius Flaccus was praetor in Sardinia in B. C. 187; and after having been thrice a candidate for the consulship, he obtained it at length in B. C. 180, in the place of his step-father, C. Piso, who had died, and was said to have been poisoned by his wife Quarta Hostilia, in order to make room for her son. (Liv. 38.42, 40.37.)

n the year B. C. 194, as proconsul, and in the neighbourhood of Milan lie fought with great success against the Gauls, Insubrians, and Boians, who had crossed the Po under their chief, Dorulacus: 10,000 enemies are said to have been killed. In B. C. 191, although a consular, he served as legate under the consul, M'. Acilius Glabrio, in the war against the Aetolians and Macedonians. With 2000 picked foot soldiers, he was ordered to occupy Rhoduntia and Tichius. The Macedonians, by a mistake, approached his camp too closely, and, on discovering the enemy, they took to flight in the greatest disorder. Flaccus pursued them, and made great havoc among them. In B. C. 184 he was the colleague of M. Porcius Cato in the censorship, and in the same year he was made princeps senatus. He died as pontifex in B. C. 180, and was succeeded by Q. Fabius Labeo. (Liv. 31.4, 49, 50, 32.1, 33.42, 43, 34.21, 46, 36.17, 19, 39.40, &c., 52, 40.42; Plb. 20.9, &c.; Plut. Cat. Ma. 12; Nep. Cat. 2 ; Oros. 4.20.)
