rom Veii (Dionys. xiii. 3; Plut. Cam. 6; Val. Max. i. 8. 3; Rosch. ii. 609-610), and it is mentioned several times in connection with gifts and sacrifices offered in atonement for prodigia (Liv. xxi. 62. 8; xxii. I. 17; xxxi. 12. 9; cf. xxvii. 37. 7). It was restored by Augustus (Mon. Anc. iv. 6), but is not mentioned afterwards. Two dedicatory inscriptions (CIL vi. 364-365) found near the church of S. Sabina indicate the approximate site of the temple, which corresponds (not with the church itself, which stands on the site of a private house, as recent discoveries have shown; see SR ii. 329-342; DAP 2. xiii. 119-126; Mufioz, Chiesa di S. Sabina 1924; HC 430-431) with its place in the lustral procession of 207 B.C. (Liv. xxvii. 37. 7; WR 426), near the upper end of the clivus Publicius (HJ 165-167; Merlin 106, 196-201, 301; WR 187-190; Gilb. iii. 77-78, 444; Rosch. ii. 600-601, 603; RE x. 1 119). The day of dedication was Ist September (Hemer. Arv. ad Kal. Sept., CIL vi. 2295 =32482).
Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, IUVENTAS, AEDES (search)
IUVENTAS, AEDES a temple of Iuventas (Hebe) vowed by M. Livius Salinator on the day of the battle of the Metaurus in 207 B.C., begun by him when censor in 204, and dedicated by C. Licinius Lucullus in 193 (Liv. xxxvi. 36. 5-6). It was burned in 16 B.C. (Cass. Dio liv. 19. 7:to\ th=s *neo/thtos me/garon) and restored by Augustus (Mon. Anc. iv. 8 =Grk. x. 12:nao\s *neo/thtos). It is possible that in later times the Roman youth on assuming the toga virilis made their offerings in this temple, although this custom was assigned by Lucius Piso to Servius Tullius (Dionys. iv. 15. 5), and the early offerings were made at the shrine of Iuventas on the Capitol. This temple was ' in circo Maximo ' (Liv. loc. cit.) and near that of Summanus (Plin. NH xxix. 57), therefore probably on the Aventine side, towards the west end of the circus (HJ 119; Rosch. ii. 765; Gilb. iii. 93; WR 136).

Acidi'nus 1. L. Manlius Acidinus, praetor urbanus in B. C. 210, was sent by the senate into Sicily to bring back the consul Valerius to Rome to hold the elections. (Liv. 26.23, 27.4.) In B. C. 207 he was with the troops stationed at Narnia to oppose Hasdrubal, and was the first to send to Rome intelligence of the defeat of the latter. (Liv. 27.50.) In B. C. 206 he and L. Cornelius Lentulus had the province of Spain entrusted to them with proconsular power. In the following year he conquered the Ausetani and Hergetes, who had rebelled against the Romans in consequence of the absence of Scipio. He did not return to Rome till B. C. 199, but was prevented by the tribune P. Porcius Laeca from entering the city in an ovation, which the senate had granted him. (Liv. 28.38, 29.1-3, 13, 32.7.)

Androni'cus, Li'vius the earliest Roman poet, as far as poetical literature is concerned; for whatever popular poetry there may have existed at Rome, its poetical literature begins with this writer. (Quint. Inst. 10.2.7.) He was a Greek and probably a native of Tarentum, and was made prisoner by the Romans during their wars in southern Italy. He then became the slave of M. Livius Salinator, perhaps the same who was consul in B. C. 219, and again in B. C. 207. Andronicus instructed the children of his master, but was afterwards restored to freedom, and received from his patron the Roman name Livius. (Hieron. in Euseb. Chron. ad Ol. 148.) Andronicus is said to have died in B. C. 221, and cannot have lived beyond B. C. 214. (Osann, Anal. Crit. p. 28.) Dramatic works During his stay at Rome, Andronicus made himself a perfect master of the Latin language, and appears to have exerted himself chiefly in creating a taste for regular dramatic representations. His first drama was acted in B

C. 206, when he obtained Sardinia as his province, and plebeian aedile in B. C. 204. (Liv. 27.41, 28.10, 29.11.) Appian (de Bell. Annib. 37) relates an extraordinary adventure of this Claudius Asellus in B. C. 212.

A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Ca'tius (search)
Ca'tius 1. Q. Catius, plebeian aedile B. C. 210 with L. Porcius Licinus, celebrated the games with great magnificence, and with the money arising from fines erected some brazen statues near the temple of Ceres. He served as legate in the army of the consul C. Claudius Nero in the campaign against Hasdrubal in B. C. 207, and was one of the envoys sent to Delphi two years afterwards to present to the temple some offerings from the booty obtained on the conquest of Hasdrubal. (Liv. 27.6, 43, 28.45.)

he principle, that knowledge is attainable and may be established on certain foundations. Hence, though not the founder of the Stoic school, he was the first person who based its doctrines on a plausible system of reasoning, so that it was said, "if Chrysippus had not existed, the Porch could not have been" (D. L. 7.183), and along the later Stoics his opinions had more weight than those of either Zeno or Cleanthes, and he was considered an authority from which there was no appeal. He died B. C. 207, aged 73 (Laert. l.c.), though Valerins Maximus (8.7.10) says, that he lived till past 80. Various stories are handed down by tradition to account for his death--as that he died from a fit of laughter on seeing a donkey eat figs, or that he fell sick at a sacrificial feast, and died five days after. With regard to the worth of Chrysippus as a philosopher, it is the opinion of Ritter that, in spite of the common statement that he differed ill some points from Zeno and Cleanthes (Cic. Aced
