of his defeat was preserved by the name of the saltus Marcius, which was given to the spot from this time. In B. C. 183, Philippus was sent as ambassador into Macedonia, with orders to watch likewise the Roman interests in Southern Greece; and although he compelled Philippus to withdraw his garrisons from various places, yet the report which he presented to the senate was unfavourable to the Macedonian monarch. In B. C. 180. Philippus was chosen a decemvir sacrorum. Some years afterwards, B. C. 171, Philippus was again sent with several others as ambassador into Greece to counteract the designs and influence of Perseus. he and Atilius were ordered first to visit Epeirus, Aetolia, and Thessaly, next to proceed to Boeotia and Euboea, and from thence to cross over to Peloponnesus, where they were to join their other colleagues. In Thessaly Philippus received an embassy from Perseus, praying for a conference, and grounding his plea on the hospitable connection which had been established

Philus 3. P. Furius Philus, praetor B. C. 174, obtained Nearer Spain as his province. On his return to Rome he was accused by the provincials of repetundae. The elder Cato spoke against him : on the first hearing the case was adjourned (anpliatus), but fearing a condemnation, when it came on again, Philus went into exile to Praeneste, B. C. 171. (Liv. 41.21, 43.2; Cic. in Caecil. Div. 20 ; Pseudo-Ascon. in loc. p. 124, ed. Orelli; Meyer, Orut. Romn. Fragm. p. 97, 2nd ed.)

Polyaenus 3. An Achaean, belonged to the party of Archon, Polybius, and the more moderate patriots, who thought that the Achaeans ought not to oppose the Romans in their war against Perseus, B. C. 171. (Plb. 28.6.9.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Polyaratus (search)
Polyaratus （*Polua/ratos), a Rhodian, one of the leaders of the party in that state favourable to Perseus,during the second Macedonian War. According to Polybius he was a man of an ostentatious and extravagant character, and had, in consequence, become loaded with debts, which he hoped to pay off by the king's assistance. At the commencement of the war (B. C. 171) he united with Deinon in endeavouring, though unsuccessfully, to induce the Rhodians to refuse the assistance of their ships to the Roman praetor C. Lucretius; but shortly afterwards he supported with success the proposition made to allow Perseus to ransom the Macedonian captives who had fallen into the hands of the Rhodians (Plb. 27.6, 11). He continued throughout the war to maintain an ctive correspondence with Perseus; and in the third year of the contest (B. C. 169), matters having apparently taken a turn more favourable to the king, the Rhodians were induced, by his efforts and those of Deinon, to give a favourable aud

Po'mpidas （*Pompi/dhs), a Theban, who was one of the leaders of the party in his native city favourable to the Roman interests. On this account he was driven into exile, when Ismenias and his partizans obtained the direction of affairs, and concluded a treaty with Perseus. He afterwards took a prominent part in the accusation of Ismenias and his colleagues before the Roman deputy, Q. Marcius Philippus, at Chalcis, B. C. 171. (Plb. 27.2.) [E.H.

ust have been subsequent to B. C. 183, as Strabo distinctly tells us (xii. p. 563), that the Prusias who received Hannibal at his court, was the son of Zielas. In B. C. 179, we find the name of Prusias associated with Eumenes in the treaty concluded by that monarch with Pharnaces, king of Pontus (Plb. 26.6), and this is supposed by Clinton to be the younger Prusias. It is certain, at least, that he was already on the throne before the breaking out of the war between the Romans and Perseus, B. C. 171. Prusias had previously sued for and obtained in marriage a sister of the Macedonian king, but notwithstanding this alliance he determined to keep aloof from the impending contest, and await the result with a view to make his peace with whichever party should prove victorious. (Liv. 42.12, 29; Appian, App. Mith. 2.) In B. C. 169, however, he ventured to send an embassy to Rome, to interpose his good offices in favour of Perseus, and endeavour to prevail upon the senate to grant him a peace
