A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Sulla (search)
from Italy to Sicily the legions which were destined for the African war; but the soldiers of the twelfth legion rose in mutiny, and drove him away with a shower of stones, demanding to receive, before they quitted Italy, the rewards which they had been promised in Greece. At the conclusion of the civil war Sulla purchased at a small sum some of the confiscated estates of the Pompeian party, and appears in consequence to have incurred no small degree of obloquy. He died during a journey in B. C. 45; and, according to Cicero (Cic. Fam. 9.10, 15.17), people were too glad to hear of his death to trouble themselves about the inquiry whether he had perished by the hands of robbers, or had fallen a victim to excessive indulgence in the pleasures of the table. (Cic. pro Sulla, passim; Sall. Cat. 17, 18 ; D. C. 36.27; Cic. de Fin. 2.19; Caes. Civ. 3.51, 89 ; Appian, App. BC 2.76 ; Cic. Att. 11.21, 22, de Off. 2.8.) Sulla left behind him a son P. Sulla [No. 11], and also a step-son Memmius. (C

Sulpi'cius Rufus 3. P. Sulpicius Rufus, probably a son or grandson of No. 2, was one of Caesar's legates in Gaul. He also served under Caesar as one of his legates in the campaign in Spain against Afranius and Petreius, in B. C. 49; and in the following year, B. C. 48, he was rewarded for his services by the praetorship. In the latter year he commanded Caesar's fleet at Vibo, when it was attacked by C. Cassius. Cicero addresses him in B. C. 45 as imperator. It appears that he was at that time in Illyricum, along with Vatinius. (Caes. Gal. 4.22, B. C. 1.74, 3.101; Cic. Fam. 13.77.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Syrus (search)
Syrus a slave brought to Rome some years before the downfal of the republic, and designated, according to the usual practice, from the country of his birth. He attracted attention while yet a youth, by his accomplishment and wit, was manumitted, in consequence of his pleasing talents, by his master, who probably belonged to the Clodia gens. assumed the name of Publius, from his patron, and soon became highly celebrated as a mimographer. At the splendid games exhibited by Caesar in B. C. 45, he invited all the dramatists of the day to contend with him in extemporaneous effusions upon any given theme, and no one having declined the challenge, the foreign freedman bore away the palm from every competitor, including Laberius himself, who was taunted with this defeat by the dictator : -- Favente tibi me victus es, Laberi, Syro. Works Publii Syri Sententiae Publius is frequently mentioned with praise and repeatedly quoted by ancient writers, especially by the Senecas, by A. Gellius, an

posed to the people, without previously consulting the senate, that war should be declared against the Rhodians, in hopes of obtaining the command himself. His proposition was vehemently opposed by the tribunes M. Antonius and M. Pomponius. He was consul in B. C. 163, with Ti. Sempronius Gracchus, and carried on war against the Corsicans, whom he subdued. The senate in consequence voted him the honour of a thanksgiving; and he was so overcome with joy at the intelligence, which he received as he was offering a sacrifice, that he dropt down dead on the spot. (Liv. 43.8, 45.16, 21; Fasti Capitol.; Obseq. 73; Titulius Terent. Heautont. ; V. Max. 9.12.3; Plin. Nat. 7.53.) Thalna 4. (JUVENTIUS) THALNA, one of the judices at the trial of Clodius, in B. C. 61, was bribed by the latter. (Cic. Att. 1.16.6.) Thalna 5. (JUVENTIUS) THALNA, who appears to be a different person from No. 4, is mentioned by Cicero in his correspondence in B. C. 45, and again in B. C. 44. (Cic. Att. 13.29, 16.6.)
