A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Fu'rius (search)
Fu'rius 5. L. Furius, was praetor in the Gallic war, which ensued immediately after the close of the Hannibalian war, B. C. 200. He was stationed at Ariminum, and as the Gauls laid sieve to Cremona he hastened thither with his army, and fought a great battle, in which the Gauls, after having sustained enormous losses, were routed and put to flight. This victory created great joy at Rome ; and, on his return, L. Furius claimed the honour of a triumph, which, after some opposition on the part of the elder senators, was granted to him. (Liv. 31.21, 47-49.)

without doing any thing worth noticing. The Romans afforded no efficient assistance to the Aetolians, not even after the fall of Hasdrubal, which considerably lessened their care about the safety of Italy. The Aetolians had to act for themselves as well as they could. In B. C. 204 Galba was recalled from Greece, and succeeded by the proconsul, P. Sempronius. In the year following he was appointed dictator for the purpose of holding the comitia, and summoning Cn. Servilius from Sicily. In B. C. 200, the year in which war again broke out, Galba was made consul a second time, and obtained Macedonia as his province. The people at Rome were highly dissatisfied with a fresh war being undertaken, before they had been able to recover from the sufferings of the Carthaginian one; but the senate and Galba carried their plan, and the war against Philip was decreed. Galba was permitted to select from the army which Scipio had brought back from Africa all those that were willing to serve again, b

3 he was curule aedile, and, conjointly with his colleague, he dedicated a golden quadriga on the Capitol. In the year same he was magister equitum to the dictator, P. Sulpicius Galba, with whom he travelled through Italy, to examine the causes which had led several towns to revolt against Rome. In B. C. 202 he was consul with Tib. Claudius Nero, and obtained Etruria for his province, which he occupied with his two legions, and in which his imperium was prolonged for the year following. In B. C. 200 he was one of the ten commissioners to distribute land in Samnium and Appulia among the veterans of Scipio. In B. C. 197 he was one of the triumvirs appointed for a period of three years, to establish a series of colonies on the western coast of Italy. In B. C. 167, during the disputes as to whether a triumph was to be granted to Aemilius Paullus, the conqueror of Macedonia, M. Servilius addressed the people in favour of Aemilius Paullus.

Glau'cides （*Glauki/dhs), one of the chief men of Abydus when it was besieged by Philip V. of Macedon, in B. C. 200, and apparently one of the fifty elders whom the people had bound by an oath to slay the women and children and to burn the treasures of the city, as soon as the enemy should have got possession of the inner wall. Glaucides, however, with some others, shrunk from what they had undertaken, and sent the priests with suppliant wreaths to make a surrender of the town to Philip. (Plb. 16.29-34; Liv. 31.17.) [E.

ade in his consulate six years before. In 203, in the debate on the terms to be granted to Carthage, Laevinus moved that the envoys be dismissed unheard, and the war be prosecuted. His counsel was followed; and it marks Laevinus as belonging to the section of the aristocracy of which the Scipios were the leaders. At the commencement of the first Macedonian war in 201-200, Laevinus was once more sent as propraetor, with a fleet and army, to Northern Greece, and his report of Philip's preparations gave a new impulse to the exertions of the republic. He died in B. C. 200, and his sons Publius and Marcus honoured his memory with funeral games and gladiatorial combats, exhibited during four successive days in the forum. (Plb. 8.3.6, 9.27. 2, 22.12.11; Liv. 23.24, 30, 32, 33, 34, 37, 38, 48, 24.10, 11, 20, 40, 44, 25.3, 26.1, 22, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 32, 36, 40, 27.5, 7, 9, 22, 29, 28.4, 10, 46, 29.11, 16, 30.23, 31.3, 5, 50; Flor. 2.7; Just. 29.4; Eutrop. 3.12; Claud. de Bel.

Lucre'tius 3. SP. LUCRETIUS, plebeian aedile, B. C. 206, and praetor B. C. 205, received in the latter year, as his province, Ariminum, which was the name then given to the province of Gallia Cisalpina. His imperium was continued to him for the two following years, B. C. 204-203; in the latter of which he had to rebuild Genua, which had been destroyed by Mago. In B. C. 200 he was sent as ambassador to Africa with C. Terentius Varro. (Liv. 28.38, 29.13, 30.1, 11.)

lus. In B. C. 205 he dedicated the temple of Virtus, near the Porta Capena, which had been vowed by his father, but was still unfinished at the time of his death (Liv. 29.11); and the following year (204) he held the office of tribune of the people. In this capacity he was one of those appointed to accompany the praetor, M. Pomponius Matho, to inquire into the charge of sacrilege brought by the Locrians against Scipio, as well as his lieutenant, Pleminius. (Liv. 29.20.) Four years later (B. C. 200) he was curule aedile with Sex. Aelius Paetus: they rendered their magistracy conspicuous by the quantity of corn that they imported at a cheap rate from Africa, as well as by the magnificence with which they celebrated the Roman games. (Liv. 31.50.) In B. C. 198 he was elected one of the praetors, and obtained Sicily as his province, with a force of 4000 foot and 300 horse, but his services were confined to the sending supplies to the Roman armies in Greece.
