The Internet Classics Archive | Aemilius Paulus by Plutarch And such was Paulus Aemilius, advanced in years, being nearly threescore, yet vigorous in his own person, and rich in valiant sons and sons-in-law, besides a great number of influential relations and friends, all of whom joined in urging him to yield to the desires of the people, who called him to the consulship. Aemilius, rejoicing, gave them, not so many as Polybius states, but, as Nasica himself tells us in a brief letter which he wrote to one of the kings with an account of the expedition, three thousand Italians that were not Romans, and his left wing consisting of five thousand. Aemilius was no novice in these things, nor was ignorant of the nature of the seeming irregularities of eclipses- that in a certain revolution of time, the moon in her course enters the shadow of the earth and is there obscured, till, passing the region of darkness, she is again enlightened by the sun. classics.mit.edu /Plutarch/paulus.html   (6828 words)

Dalkeith. Stories From Roman History. Chapter 7: Of Paulus Aemilius. Paulus Aemilius, the son of that general who died at Cannae, was not young, but he was honoured above all the brave men in Rome (and there were many at that time) for his splendid honesty and his skill in war. Aemilius, as he watched the Phalanx advancing, was afraid in his heart, although like a brave man he hid his fear, and went up and down the ranks bareheaded and without a shield, cheering and encouraging his men. Aemilius kept none for himself but gave it all to his country, and so great was the treasure that for more than a hundred years the citizens in Rome paid no taxes. www.kellscraft.com /romanhistorych7.html   (1256 words)

Plutarch's Parallel Lives: Aemilius Paulus Thither they sent Aemilius, in the quality of praetor, not with six axes, which number other praetors were accustomed to have carried before them, but with twelve; so that in his praetorship he was honored with the dignity of a consul. When it was night, and, supper being over, all were turning to sleep and rest, on a sudden the moon, which was then at full and high in the heavens, grew dark, and by degrees losing her light, passed through various colors, and at length was totally eclipsed. Aemilius was no novice in these things, nor was ignorant of the nature of the seeming irregularities of eclipses, that in a certain revolution of time, the moon in her course enters the shadow of the earth and is there obscured, till, passing the region of darkness, she is again enlightened by the Sun. www.forumromanum.org /literature/plut_aem.html   (7252 words)

It is believed that Paulus would have given twice as much to the infantry, and to the rest in proportion, if they had supported his triumph in the voting or had contentedly applauded the announcement of the sum which was actually given. A few days later a meeting of the commons was arranged for the consul by Marcus Antonius, tribune of the plebs, and Paulus gave an account of his achievements, as was the general custom of commanders, in a memorable speech, an utterance worthy of a Roman leader. www.u.arizona.edu /~afutrell/republic/livy45week10.html   (2238 words)

While Paulus held this office he gave himself up to it entirely, studied all the ancient ceremonies, and never permitted even the most trifling of them to be altered or omitted.

The Internet Classics Archive | The Comparison of Timoleon with Aemilius Paulus by Plutarch Both have the reputation of having behaved themselves with an uncorrupted integrity in all the affairs they managed; but Aemilius had the advantage of being, from his infancy, by the laws and customs of his country brought up to the proper management of public affairs, which Timoleon brought himself to by his own efforts. But Timoleon, at the request and prayers of the Syracusans, was sent to be their general, and had no need to seek for power, but had a perfect title, founded on their own offers, to hold it; and yet no sooner had he freed Sicily from her oppressors, but he willingly surrendered it. It is truly worthy our admiration in Aemilius, that though he conquered so great and so rich a realm as that of Macedon, yet he would not touch, nor see any of the money, nor did he advantage himself one farthing by it, though he was very generous of his own to others. classics.mit.edu /Plutarch/t_a_comp.html   (533 words)
