A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Ambustus (search)
Ambustus 7. M. Fabius Amibustus, N. F. M. N., son, as it appears, of No. 4, was consul in B. C. 360, and carried on the war against the Hernici, whom he conquered, and obtained an ovation in consequence. (Liv. 7.11; Fast. Triumph.) He was consul a second time in 356, and carried on the war against the Falisci and Tarquinienses, whom he also conquered. As he was absent from Rome when the time came for holding the comitia, the senate, which did not like to entrust them to his colleague, who had appointed a plebeian dictator, and still less to the dictator himself, nominated interreges for the purpose. The object of the patricians was to secure both places in the consulship for their own order again, which was effected by Ambustus, who seems to have returned to Rome meantime. He was appointed the eleventh interrex, and declared two patricians consuls in violation of the Licinian law. (Liv. 7.17.) He was consul a third time in 354, when he conquered the Tiburtes and obtained a triumph in
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Amyntas (search)
Amyntas 3. Grandson of Amyntas II., was left an infant in nominal possession of the throne of Macedonia, when his father Perdiccas III. fell in battle agains the Illyrians, B. C. 360. (Diod. 16.2.) He was quietly excluded from the kingly power by his uncle Philip, B. C. 359, who had at first acted merely as regent (Just. 7.5), and who felt himself so safe in his usurpation, that he brought up Amyntas at his court, and gave him one of his daughters in marriage In the first year of the reign of Alexander the Great, B. C. 336, Amyntas was executed for a plot against the king's life. (Thirlw. Gr. Hist. vol. v. pp. 165, 166, 177, vol. vi. p. 99, and the authorities to which he refers ; Just. 12.6, and Freinsheim, ad Curt. 6.9, 17.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Anaxis (search)
Anaxis （*)/Anacis), a Boeotian, wrote a history of Greece, which was carried down to B. C. 360, the year before the accession of Philip to the kingdom of Macedonia. (Diod. 15.95
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Apollodo'rus (search)
Apollodo'rus （*)Apollo/dworos). 1. Of ACHARNE in Attica, son of Pasion, the celebrated banker, who died B. C. 370, when his son Apollodorus was twenty-four years of age. (Dem. pro Phorm. p. 951.) His mother, who married Phormion, a freedman of Pasion, after her husband's death, lived ten years longer, and after her death in B. C. 360, Phormion became the guardian of her younger son, Pasicles. Several years later (B. C. 350), Apollodorus brought an action against Phormion, for whom Demosthenes wrote a defence, the oration for Phormion, which is still extant. In this year, Apollodorus was archon eponymus at Athens. (Diod. 16.46.) When Apollodorus afterwards attacked the witnesses who had supported Phormion, Demosthenes wrote for Apollodorius the two orations still extant kata\ *Stefa/nou. (Aeschin. de Fals. Leg. p. 50; Plut. Dem. 15.) Apollodorus had many and very important law-suits, in most of which Demosthenes wrote the speeches for him (Clinton, Fast. Hell. ii. p. 440, &100.3d. e
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Bardylis (search)
nia [see p. 154b.]; and from Diodorus (16.2) it appears that Amyntas, after his restoration to his kingdom, was obliged to purchase peace of Bardylis by tribute, and to deliver up as a hostage his youngest son, Philip, who, according to this account (which seems far from the truth), was committed by the Illyrians to the custody of the Thebans. (Diod. xvi 2; comp. Wesseling, ad loc.; Diod. 15.67 ; Plut. Pel. 26; Just. 7.5.) The incursions of Bardylis into Macedonia we find continued in the reign of Perdiccas III., who fell in a battle against him in B. C. 360. (Diod. 16.2.) When Philip, in the ensuing year, was preparing to invade Illyria, Bardylis, who was now 90 years old, having proposed terms of peace which Philip rejected, led forth his troops to meet the enemy, and was defeated and probably slain in the battle which ensued. Plutarch mentions a daughter of his, called Bircenna, who was married to Pyrrhus of Epeirus. (Diod. 16.4; Just. 7.6; Lucian, Macrob. 10; Plut. Pyrr. 9.) [E.E]
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Charide'mus (search)
ent against Amphipolis, about B. C. 367. At the end of somewhat more than three years, Amphipolis agreed to surrender to the Athenians and delivered hostages to Iphicrates for the performance of the promise: these, on being superseded by Timotheus, he entrusted to Charidemus, who restored them to the Amphipolitans in spite of the decree of the Athenian people requiring them to be sent to Athens, and then passed over to Cotys, king of Thrace, who was hostile to the Athenians at the time. In B. C. 360, when Timotheus was meditating his attack on Amphipolis, Charidermus was engaged to enter the service of the Olynthians, who were preparing to defend it; but, on his passage from Cardia in the Chersonesus, he was captured by the Athenians, and consented to aid them against Olynthus. After the failure of Timotheus at Amphipolis in the same year, Charidemus crossed over to Asia and entered the service of Memnon and Mentor, brothers-in-law of Artabazus, who had been imprisoned by Autophradate

Libo, Poete'lius 2. C. Poetelius Libo Visolus, C. F. Q. N., perhaps a grandson of No. 1, was consul B. C. 360, with M. Fabius Ambustus. He gained a victory over the Gauls and the inhabitants of Tibur, and celebrateda triumph over both nations. In the Fasti Capitolini the name of Poetelius occurs in the form which is given above. Livy calls him C. Poetelius Balbus, and Diodorus gives the name without any cognomen. (Fasti Capit.; Liv. 7.11; Diod. 16.9.)

Ma'ximus, Fa'bius 1. Q. Fabius Maximus, M. F. N. N., with the agnomen RULLIANUS or RULLUS, was the son of M. Fabius Ambustus, consul B. C. 360. (Liv. 8.33.) He was curule aedile in B. C. 331, when, through the information of a female slave, he discovered that the mortality prevailing at Rome arose from poison administered by women to their husbands. (Liv. 8.18; V. Max. 2.5.3; Oros. 3.10.) Fabius was master of the equites to L. Papirius Cursor in B. C. 325, whose anger he incurred by giving battle to the Samnites near the Imbrivian or Simbrivian hills during the dictator's absence, and contrary to his orders. Victory availed Fabius nothing in exculpation. The rods and axes were ready for his execution, and a hasty flight to Rome, where the senate, the people, and his aged father interceded for him with Papirius, barely rescued his life, but could not avert his degradation from office. (Liv. 8.29-35; Dio Cass. Fr. Mai; V. Max. 2.7.8; Frontin. Strat. 4.1.39; Aurel. Vict. Vir. Ill. 31, 3

Neopto'lemus I. （*Neopto/lemos), king of Epeirus, was son of Alcetas I., and father of Alexander I., and of Olympias, the mother of Alexwander the Great. On the death of Alcetas, Neoptolemus and his brother Arymbas or Arrybas agreed to divide the kingdom, and continued to rule their respective portions without any interruption of the harmony between them, until the death of Neoptolemus, which, according to Droysen, may be placed about B. C. 360. No further incidents of his reign have been transmitted to us. (Paus. 1.11. §§ 1, 3; Just. 7.6.10, 17.3.14; Droysen, Hellenismus, vol. i. p. 250, not.) [E.
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Ni'cias (search)
h about the unwillingness of Nicias to sell one of his pictures to Ptolemy, king of Egypt, if we suppose Ptolemy I. to be meant (Non poss. suav. viv. sec. Epicureos, 11). On the other hand, Pliny tells us that Nicias assisted Praxiteles in statuis circumlinendis, that is, covering marble statues with a sort of encaustic varnish, by which a beautifully smooth and tinted surface was given to them (see Dict. of Antiq. PAINTING, § viii.). Now Praxiteles flourished in the 104th Olympiad, B. C. 364-360. We must therefore either suppose that Nicias thus painted the statues of Praxiteles a considerable time after they were made, which is not very probable in itself, and is opposed to Pliny's statement; or else that Pliny has confounded two different artists, indeed he himself suggests that there may have been two artists of the name. (See Sillig, Catal. Artif. s. v.) But, plausible as this argument is, it is not conclusive, for the division of a master and pupil by seven or eight Olympiads is
