ther hostilities, and restore all the conquered cities. In order to evade this demand without openly opposing the power of Rome, he concluded a treaty with Egypt, by which it was agreed that the young king should marrv Cleopatra. the daughter of Antiochus. and receive back the Syrian provinces as her dower. (Plb. 3.2, 15.20, 16.39, 18.33, 34, 28.17; Justin, 30.2. 3, 31.1; Liv. 31.2, 9 ; Appian, App. Syr. 1-3, Mac. 3; Hieronym. ad Daniel. 11.14-17; J. AJ 12.4.1.) This treaty took place in B. C. 199, but the marriage was not actually solemnised until six years after. During this interval the peace between Egypt and Syria continued unbroken, while the administration of the former kingdom was placed in the hands of Aristomenes, a man who was every way worthy of the charge. We are told that, under his wise and vigorous government, the taxes were reduced, order restored, and the country recovered, in great measure, from the disorders of the reign of Philopator. Yet the period of his admin

ey wished to make him consul and dictator for life, and to erect his statue in the comitia, the rostra, the curia, and even in the Capitol; but that he prudently declined all these invidious distinctions (Liv. 38.56; V. Max. 4.1.6). As he did not choose to usurp the supreme power, which it seems he might have done with ease, and as he was an object of suspicion and dislike to the majority of the senate, he took no prominent part in public affairs during the next few years. He was censor in B. C. 199 with P. Aelius Paetus, and consul a second time in 194 with Ti. Sempronius Longus. At the same time the censors conferred upon him the title of princeps senatus, a distinction which he had received from the former censors, and which was again bestowed upon him in B. C. 190. In B. C. 193, he was one of the three commissioners who were sent to Africa to mediate between Masinissa and the Carthaginians; and in the same year, according to a story related by Q. Claudius Quadrigarius, he was one

Sterti'nius 1. L. Stertinius, was sent as proconsul into further Spain in B. C. 199, and on his return to Rome three years afterwards (B. C. 196), brought into the public treasury fifty thousand pounds weight of silver, and from the spoils dedicated two fornices or arches in the forum Boarium, and one in the Circus Maximus, and placed upon them gilded statues. In the same year that he returned, he was appointed one of the ten commissioners, who were sent into Greece to settle the affairs of the country, in conjunction with T. Quintius Flamininus. (Liv. 31.50, 33.27, 35 ; Plb. 18.31.)

Ta'mphilus 2. Cn. Baebius Tamphilus, tribune of the plebs, B. C. 204, impeached the censors, M. Livius Salinator and C. Claudiuis Nero, on account of the way in which they had administered the duties of their office; but the senate, although discontented with the conduct of the censors, obliged the tribune to drop the prosecution, as they thought it more advisable to uphold the principle of the irresponsibility of the censors than to inflict upon then the punishment they deserved. In B. C. 199 Tamphilus was praetor, and received the command of the legions of the consul of the preceding year, C. Aurelius Cotta, which were stationed in the neighborhood of Ariminum, with instructions to await the arrival rival of the new consul, C. Cornelius Lentulus. But Tamphilus, anxious to obtain glory, made an incursion into the country of the Insubrii, by whom he was defeated with great loss. On the arrival of Lentulus soon afterwards, he was ordered dered to leave the province, and was sent lack

Ta'ppulus, Vi'llius 2. P. Villius Tappulus, plebeian aedile, B. C. 204, and praetor B. C. 203, with Sicily as his province. In B. C. 201, he was one of the decemviri for assigning some of the public land in Samninum and Apulia to the soldiers who had served under P. Scipio in Africa, and in B. C. 199 he was consul with L. Cornelius Lentulus. In his consulship he had the conduct of the war against Philip in Macedonia, but he performed nothing of importance. In the following year he served as legatus under his successor T. Quintius Flamininus, and on the conquest of Philip in B. C. 196, he was one of the ten commissioners appointed by the senate to determine with Flamininus upon the conditions of the peace. After concluding the peace with Philip, Tappulus and one of his colleagues went on a mission to Antiochus in Asia. In B. C. 193 he was again sent to Antiochus, and in the following year was also one of the ambassadors sent to Greece. (Liv. 29.38, 30.1, 31.4, 49, 32.3, 6, 28, 33.24,

Vi'llia Gens plebeian, is mentioned as early as B. C. 449 [VILLIUS, No. 1], but the only member of the gens who obtained the consulship was P. Villius Tappulus, who was consul B. C. 199.
