dened his enemies to bring the great Africanus himself before the people. His accuser was M. Naevius, the tribune of the people, and if the date of his tribunate is correctly stated by Livy (39.52) the accusation was not brought till the end of B. C. 185. When the trial came on, Scipio did not condescend to say a single word in refutation of the charges that had been brought against him, but descanted long and eloquently upon the signal services he had rendered to the commonwealth. Having spokehis brother Lucius and the poet Ennius (Liv. 38.56). The year of his death is equally uncertain. Polybius and Rutilias related that he died in the same year as Hannibal and Philopoemen, that is, in B. C. 183. Livy and Cicero placed his death in B. C. 185, and Valerius of Antium as early as B. C. 187 (Liv. 39.52; Cic. Cat. maj. 6). The date of Polybius is most probably the correct one. Scipio married Aemilia, the daughter of L. Aemilius Paulus, who fell at the battle of Cannae [AEMILIA, No. 2]

nd the conduct of the war against Antiochus (Liv. 28.3, 4, 17, 34.54, 55, 36.45, 37.1). He defeated Antiochus at Mount Sipylus, in B. C. 190, entered Rome in triumph in the following year, and assumed the surname of Asiaticus. The history of his accusation and condemnation, and of the confiscation of his property, has been already related in the life of his brother. But notwithstanding the poverty to which he is said to have been reduced (Liv. 38.60), he celebrated with great splendour, in B. C. 185, the games which he had vowed in his war with Antiochus. Valerius of Antium related that he obtained the necessary money during an embassy on which he was sent after his condemnation, to settle the disputes between the kings Antiochus and Eumenes. He was a candidate for the censorship in B. C. 184, but was defeated by the old enemy of his family, M. Porcius Cato, who gave another proof of his hatred to the family by depriving Asiaticus of his horse at the review of the equites (Liv. 39.22,

Sci'pio 21. P. CORNELIUS SCIPIO AEMILIANUS AFRICANUS MINOR, was the younger son of L. Aemilius Paulus, the conqueror of Macedonia, and was adopted by P. Scipio, the son of the conqueror of Hannibal [No. 14], whose mother was a sister of L. Aemilius Paulus. He was born about B. C. 185. In his seventeenth year he accompanied his father Paulus to Greece, and fought under him at the battle of Pydna, in B. C. 168 (Liv. 44.44 ; Plut. Aemil. Paul. 22). While in Greece he probably became acquainted with the historian Polybius ; and when the latter was sent to Rome, along with the other Achaean exiles, in the following year, B. C. 167, Scipio afforded him the patronage and protection of his powerful family, and formed with him that close and intimate friendship which continued unbroken throughout his life. Scipio appears from his earliest years to have devoted himself with ardour to the study of literature ; and he eagerly availed himself of the superior knowledge of Polybius to direct him in

supplies of corn, but rendered him active assistance on more than one occasion during his expedition against the Galatians. (Liv. 38.13, 15.) On the death of Antiochus III. in B. C. 187, Seleucus ascended the throne without opposition. But the defeat of his father by the Romans, and the ignominious peace which followed it, had greatly diminished the power of the Syrian monarchy, and the reign of Seleucus was, in consequence, feeble and inglorious, and was marked by no striking events. In B. C. 185, we find him sending an embassy to the Achaeans, to renew the friendship and alliance previously existing between them and Antiochus (Plb. 23.4, 9; Diod. xxix. Exc. Legat. p. 622); and shortly afterwards (probably in B. C. 181) assembling a considerable army, to assist Pharnaces, king of Pontus, against Eumenes; but he became alarmed lest his passing Mount Taurus for this purpose should be construed by the Romans into an act of hostility; and, in consequence, abandoned the design and dismi

They were the first aediles who exhibited the Megalesia as ludi scenici; and it was in their aedileship that the senators had seats assigned them in the theatre, distinct from the rest of the people. He did not obtain the praetorship till B. C. 185. (Liv. 34.54; V. Max. 2.4.3; Ascon. in Tog. Cand. p. 69, ed. Orelli; Liv. 39.23.)

Sici'nius 7. Cn. Sicinius, was aedile in B. C. 185, and was an unsuccessful candidate for the praetorship in the following year, to supply the place of C. Decimius, who had died while in office. He was, however, successful in B. C. 183, in which year he was elected praetor, and obtained Sardinia as his province. (Liv. 39.39, 45.)

Tempsa'nus, L. Postu'mius praetor B. C. 185, received Tarentum as his province, and proceeded with great vigour against the shepherds who had been plundering the surrounding country. He condemned as many as 7000 men. He was continued in his post the following year, that he might entirely crush the insurrection of the shepherds, and likewise apprehend those persons who had taken part in the Bacchanalia at Rome, and who had fled for refuge to that part of Italy. (Liv. 39.23, 29, 41.)

Thalna, Juventius or TALNA * Thalna, which occurs in the Capitoline Fasti, is the correct form., JUVE'NTIUS. Thalna 1. T. Juventius Thalna, praetor B. C. 194. He is, perhaps, the same as the T. Juventius who was sent, with two other commissioners, in B. C. 172, to purchase corn in Apulia and Calabria, for the use of the army and fleet in the war against Perseus. (Liv. 34.42, 43, 42.27.) Thalna 2. L. Juventius Thalna, served in Spain in B. C. 185, as legats to the praetor Calpurnius Piso. (Liv. 39.31, 38.) Thalna 3. M'. Juventius Thalna, L. F. T. N., son of No. 2, was tribune of the plebs B. C. 170, when, in conjunction with his colleague Cn. Aufidius, he accused the praetor C. Lucretius, on account of his tyrannical and oppressive conduct in Greece. He was praetor in B. C. 167, and obtained the jurisdictio inter peregrinos; and in this year he proposed to the people, without previously consulting the senate, that war should be declared against the Rhodians, in hopes of obtai
