him, and brought forward Holophernes, one of the supposititious sons of the late king, as a claimant of the throne. Ariarathes was deprived of his kingdom, and fled to Rome about B. C. 158. He was restored by the Romans, who, however, appear to have allowed Holophernes to reign jointly with him, as is expressly stated by Appian (App. Syr. 47), and implied by Polybius (32.20). The joint government, however, did not last long; for we find Ariarathes shortly afterwards named as sole king. In B. C. 154, Ariarathes assisted Attalus in his war against Prusias, and sent his son Demetrius in command of his forces. He fell in B. C. 130, in the war of the Romans against Aristonicus of Pergamus. In return for the succours which he had brought the Romans on that occasion, Lycaonia and Cilicia were added to the dominions of his family. By his wife Laodice he had six children ; but they were all, with the exception of the youngest, killed by their mother, that she might obtain the government of th

m for himself; but was induced, by the remonstrances of a physician named Stratius, to abandon his designs. (Liv. 45.19, 20; Plb. 30.1-3.) In 164 and 160, he was again sent to Rome. (Plb. 31.9, 32.3, 5.) Attalus succeeded his brother Eumenes in B. C. 159. His first undertaking was the restoration of Ariarathes to his kingdom. (Plb. 32.23.) In 156, he was attacked by Prusias, and found himself compelled to call in the assistance of the Romans and his allies, Ariarathes and Mithridates. In B. C. 154, Prusias was compelled by the threats of the Romans to grant peace, and indemnify Attalus for the losses he had sustained. (Plb. 3.5, 32.25, &c., 33.1, 6, 10, 11; Appian, App. Mith. 3, &c.; Diod. xxxi. Exc. p. 589.) In 152, he sent some troops to aid Alexander Balas in usurping the throne of Syria (Porphyr. apud Euseb. p. 187; Just. 35.1), and in 149 he assisted Nicomedes against his father Prusias. He was also engaged in hostilities with, and conquered, Diegylis, a Thracian prince, the fa

Cato, Po'rcius 3. M. Porcius Cato Salonianus, the son of Cato the censor by his second wife Salonia, was born B.

He lost his father when he was five years old, and lived to attain the praetorship, in which office he died. (Gel. 13.19 ; Plut. Cat. Ma. 27.)

Cotta, Aure'lius 6. L. Aurelius Cotta, was tribune of the people in B. C. 154, and in reliance on the inviolable character of his office he refused paying his creditors whereupon however his colleagues declared, that unless he satisfied the creditors they would support them in their claims. In B. C. 144, he was consul together with Ser. Sulpicius Galba, and disputed in the senate which of them was to obtain the command against Viriathus in Spain; but Scipio Aemilianus carried a decree that neither of them should be sent to Spain, and the command in that country was accordingly prolonged to the proconsul Fabius Maximus Ameilianus. Subsequently Cotta was accused by Scipio Aemilianus, and although he was guilty of glaring acts of injustice he was acquitted, merely because the judges wished to avoid the appearance of Cotta having been crushed by the overwhelming influence of his accuser. Cotta was defended on that occasion by Q. Metellus Macedonicus. Cicero states that Cotta was consider

M'. Acilius Glabrio M'. F. C. N. GLABRIO, son of the preceding, dedicated, as duumvir under a decree of the senate, B. C. 181, the Temple of Piety in the herb-market at Rome. The elder Glabrio had vowed this temple on the day of his engagement with Antiochus at Thermopylae, and his son placed in it an equestrian statue of his father, the first gilt statue erected at Rome (Liv. 40.34; V. Max. 2.5.1). Glabrio was one of the curule aediles in B. C. 165, when he superintended the celebration of the Megalensian games (Terent. Andr. tit. fab.), and supplementary consul in B. C. 154, in the room of L. Postumius Albinus, who died in his consular year. (Obseq. de Prod. 76; Fast. Capit.)

under the consul A. Hostilius Mancinus, he was accused before the senate by ambassadors of the Gallic king, Cincibilus, as well as by ambassadors of the Carni, I stri and Iapydes, who complained that Cassius had treated them as enemies in his attempt to penetrate into Macedonia in the previous year. The senate intimated their disapproval of the conduct of Cassius, but stated that they could not condemn a man of consular rank unheard, and while he was absent on the service of the state. In B. C. 154 Cassius was censor with M. Valerius Messalla. (Liv. 42.4, 28, 32, 43.1, 5; Oros. 4.20; Plin. Nat. 7.3. s. 4; Cic. pro Dom. 50, 53; Plin. Nat. 17.25. s. 38.) A theatre, which these censors had contracted to have built, was pulled down by order of the senate, at the suggestion of P. Scipio Nasica, as useless and injurious to public morals. (Liv. Epit. 48; Vell. 1.15; V. Max. 2.4.2; Oros. iv, 21; Augustin, de Civ. Dei, 1.31 ; Appian, App. BC 1, 28, who erroneously calls Cassius Lucius, and pl
