war with Philip,Philip V had come to the Macedonian throne in 217 B.C. at the age of 17, and had continued the aggressive policy of his regent, Antigonus. As an ally of the Achaean League, the Macedonians had fought a successful war against the Aetolian League (see Introductory Note), and in 216 B.C. concluded an alliance with Hannibal by a treaty of which Polybius (VII. xix) preserves some clauses. Meanwhile Philip was pursuing an ambitious policy towards Athens and other Greek states. By 214 B.C., Rome seems to have recognized that something like a state of war existed (XXIV. xl. 1), but in this passage Livy dates the actual hostilities from 211 B.C., when Rome made a treaty with Philip's old enemies, the Aetolians (XXVI. xxiv. 10). Philip's treaty of peace with the Aetolians is dated 205 B.C. by Livy (XXIX. xii. 1), but we may perhaps explain his three years on the assumption that it was not ratified until the next year, Livy's chronology is often confused, as a result of unskilful

The Roman Games were celebrated thatB.C. 197 year in the circus and theatreTheatrical performances had been given as early as 214 B.C. (XXIV. xliii. 7). by the curule aediles Publius Cornelius Scipio and Gnaeus Manlius Volso. They were celebrated with greater splendour than at any other time, and were also viewed with greater joy because of the successes in war, and were thrice repeated entire. The Plebeian Games were repeated seven times; Manius Acilius Glabrio and Gaius Laelius presided over these games, and out of the money received as finesThe aediles had police powers, including the right to impose fines: cf. xlii. 10 below. they erected three bronze statues of Ceres and Liber and Libera. Lucius Furius and Marcus Claudius Marcellus were -B.C. 196 duly inaugurated as consuls, and when the question of the provinces was brought up and the senate was for decreeing Italy to both consuls, they urged that they should draw lots for Macedonia along with Italy.

lies had deserted us; we had no troops in reserve, no naval allies to maintain the fleet, no money in the treasury; slaves were being purchased for employment as soldiers, on condition that the price should be paid their owners after the war; the contractors agreed to furnish grain and other things demanded by the war on the same settlement-day;I.e., after the war; cf. XXIII. xlix. 1-3. we furnished slaves for rowers in proportion to our census-ratings, and ourselves bore the costs;In 214 B.C.

Valerius Laevinus in 210 B.C. (XXVI. xxxvi. 5-8). The speaker for

ATRIUM PUBIICUM (in Capitolio) a public office, perhaps containing some of the state archives, said by Livy (xxiv. 10) to have been struck by lightning in 214 B.C. It may possibly be identified with the tw=n a)gorano/mwn tamiei=on, in which Polybius (iii. 26. 1) says that the treaties between Rome and Carthage were kept in his time (Jord. i. 2. 52).

VICUS INSTEIUS (Livy) VICUS INSTEIANUS (Varro) : a street on the collis Latiaris, the southern part of the Quirinal (Varro, LL v. 52), in which a great flood of water is said to have burst forth in 214 B.C. (Liv. xxiv. IO. 8). It probably ascended the hill near the porta Fontinalis and the modern Piazza Magnanapoli, and was destroyed by the building of the imperial fora.

VOLCANUS, AEDES a temple in the campus Martius, built before 214 B.C. for in that year-and again in 197-it was struck by lightning (Liv. xxiv. 10. 9: aedem in campo Volcani; xxxi. 29. 1). Tradition ascribed it to Romulus himself (Plut. Rom. 27; q. Rom. 47). It was outside the walls of the city (Vitr. i. 7. I : (ut) Volcani vi e moenibus religionibus et sacrificiis evocata ab timore incendiorum aedificia videantur liberari; Plut. q. Rom. 47). Near it Verres had erected gilded equestrian statues presented to him by the aratores of Sicily (Cic. in Verr. ii. 150, 167). On 23rd August, the Volcanalia, sacrifice was offered to Vulcan (see VOLCANAL). The calendars differ, however, the Fasti Vallenses (ad Kal. Sept., CIL ia. p. 240) reading Volcano in circo Flaminio, while the Arvales (CIL i. p. 215; cf. vi. 32482) contain no indication of place unless Volcano is to be united with the following Nymphis in campo. (Nor is there any indication of place in Fast. Ant. ap. NS 1921, 109.) If this

e of mount Taurus, B. C. 223. Achaeus recovered for the Syrian empire all the districts which Attalus had gained; but having been falsely accused by Hermeias, the minister of Antiochus, of intending to revolt, he did so in self-defence, assumed the title of king, and ruled over the whole of Asia on this side of the Taurus. As long as Antiochus was engaged in the war with Ptolemy, he could not march against Achaeus; but after a peace had been concluded with Ptolemy, he crossed the Taurus, united his forces with Attalus, deprived Achaeus in one campaign of all his dominions and took Sardis with the exception of the citadel. Achaeus after sustaining a siege of two years in the citadel at last fell into the hands of Antiochus B. C. 214, through the treachery of Bolis, who had been employed by Sosibius, the minister of Ptolemy, to deliver him from his danger, but betrayed him to Antiochus, who ordered him to be put to death immediately. (Plb. 4.2.6, 4.48, 5.40.7, 42, 57, 7.15-18, 8.17-23.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Andranodo'rus (search)
Andranodo'rus the son-in-law of Hiero, was appointed guardian of Hieronymus, the grandson of Hiero, after the death of the latter. He advised Hieronymus to break off the alliance with the Romans, and connect himself with Hannibal. After the assassination of Hieronymus, Andranodorus seized upon the island and the citadel with the intention of usurping the royal power; but finding difficulties in the way, he judged it more prudent to surrender them to the Syracusans, and was elected in consequence one of their generals. But the suspicions of the people becoming excited against him, he was killed shortly afterwards, B. C. 214. (Liv. 24.4-7, 21-25.)

was a Greek and probably a native of Tarentum, and was made prisoner by the Romans during their wars in southern Italy. He then became the slave of M. Livius Salinator, perhaps the same who was consul in B. C. 219, and again in B. C. 207. Andronicus instructed the children of his master, but was afterwards restored to freedom, and received from his patron the Roman name Livius. (Hieron. in Euseb. Chron. ad Ol. 148.) Andronicus is said to have died in B. C. 221, and cannot have lived beyond B. C. 214. (Osann, Anal. Crit. p. 28.) Dramatic works During his stay at Rome, Andronicus made himself a perfect master of the Latin language, and appears to have exerted himself chiefly in creating a taste for regular dramatic representations. His first drama was acted in B. C. 240, in the consulship of C. Claudius and M. Tuditanus (Cic. Brut. 18, comp. Tusc. Quaest. 1.1, de Senect. 14; Liv. 7.2; Gellius, 17.21); but whether it was a tragedy or a comedy is uncertain. That he wrote comedies as we
