A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Ca'ntharus (search)
Ca'ntharus （*Ka/nqaros), a statuary and embosser of Sicyon, the son of Alexis and pupil of Eutychides. (Paus. 6.3.3.) According to Pliny (H. A. 34.8. s. 19), there flourished an artist Eutychides about B. C. 300. If this was the teacher of Cantharus, as is probable, his father Alexis cannot have been the artist of that name who is reckoned by Pliny (l.c.) amongst the pupils of the older Polycletus, for this Polycletus was already an old man at B. C. 420. Cantharus, therefore, flourished about B. C. 268. He seems to have excelled in athletes. (Paus. 6.3.3, 6.17.5.) [W.

Clau'dius 12. APP. CLAUDIUS APP. F. C. N. CRASSUS (or CRASSINUS) RUFUS, the eldest son of No. 10, and apparently the last of the gens who bore the surname Crassus. He was consul B. C. 268. (Fast. Sic.; Vell. 1.14.)

cellus Clau'dius 4. M. Claudius Marcellus, M. F. M. N., the most illustrious of all those who bore this name, celebrated as five times consul, and the conqueror of Syracuse. We know very little of his early life, and he is a remarkable instance of a man who, though his character was chiefly marked by the daring courage and impetuosity of youth, did not attain to any great distinction until a comparatively late period of life. The year of his birth is uncertain, but it may be placed before B. C. 268, as we are told that he was above sixty years old when he obtained his fifth consulship. (Plut. Marc. 28; Liv. 27.27.) Plutarch tells us that he was trained up in military service from his earliest youth, so as to have received rather an imperfect education in other respects. In war, on the contrary, he early distinguished himself, especially by his personal achievements, ever seeking single combats with the most daring warriors among the enemy, and uniformly coming off victorious.

(Liv. 9.33.) He was consul B. C. 304 with P. Sulpicius Severus (Liv. 9.45). The two consuls defeated the Aequi, and had a triumph. He was the first plebeian consul pontifex (Liv. 10.9) B. C. 300, and in the next year a lustrum was celebrated by him and his former colleague, as censors; and two tribes were added. He seems to be the same person who took the praetorship at a time when Rome was alarmed by a rumour of a Gallic war (Livy, 10.21). Pomponius says that no one after him bore the name of Sophus, but a P. Sempronius Sophus was consul in B. C. 268. (Fasti) and censor in B. C. 252 (Liv. Epit. 18 ; Fast. Capitol.), and he is called the son of Publius, who may have been the consul of B. C. 304. There is a story of one P. Sempronius Sophus, who divorced his wife, because she had been bold enough to see the public games without his consent; but those who believe the story of Carvilius divorcing his wife suppose that this Sophus must have lived later than the consul of B. C. 304. [G.L]
