	Battle of Cannae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 216 BC elections resumed with Caius Terentius Varro and Lucius Aemilius Paullus elected as consuls and given command of a newly raised army of unprecedented size in order to counter Hannibal.
		Varro knew how the Roman infantry had managed to penetrate Hannibal’s center during the Battle of the Trebia, and he planned to recreate this on an even greater scale.
		Varro believed that when pressed hard by the Romans’ superior numbers, the Carthaginians would fall back onto the river, and with no room to maneuver, would be cut down in panic.

		Caius Hostilius Tubulus was also continued in command, with orders to go into Etruria, in the capacity of propraetor, and succeed Caius Calpurnius in the command of the two legions there.
		The senate decreed the same with respect to Caius Aurunculeius, who, as praetor, had held the province of Sardinia with two legions, which it did in the case of Lucius Veturius, and the question of the continuation of his command was proposed to the people.
		Caius Hostilius had the city jurisdiction, to which the foreign was added, in order that three praetors might go out to the provinces.

	Appian's History of Rome: The War against Hannibal
		When they sent the consuls forward they begged them as they were leaving the city to end the war by battle, and not to exhaust the city by delay, by conscriptions, by taxes, and by hunger and idleness due to the devastation of the fields.
		But Varro, like the demagogue he was, reminded his colleague of the charge which the people had laid upon them at their departure, that they should bring matters to a speedy decision by battle.
		Hurrying armed as he was to the headquarters, he complained in the presence of senators, centurions, and tribunes that Aemilius had made a pretense about the omen in order to snatch a sure victory from the city, either hesitating from cowardice or moved by jealousy toward himself.

	Context & Perspective Article
		After Fabius's six-month leadership term expired, the Roman Senate elected Aemilius Paullus and Caius Terentius Varro to command the army and it demanded a decisive battle.
		Varro deviated from normal strategy because of a few recent examples of success and because he was under pressure from Rome.
		Just like Varro, many fund managers and individual investors deviated from more disciplined investment strategies and ratcheted their portfolio risk higher by pouring money into technology stocks at a time when they were already overvalued.

		Varro on the other hand was a relatively less important name who could easily been scapegoated.
		You make a good argument about the pressures Varro thought should force him into battle, but the primary responsibility of a good general is to access the tactical situation according to the terrain/position, the enemy, his army's capabilities and finally his own abilities and experience.
		Varro ignored his position which Paullus found unfavorable, was faced with one of the greatest enemies anyone has ever faced, he had an army where a large number had little or no combat experience and he himself had no military experience, ignoring the advice of his own co-consul who did.

		Though Varro was at this time in his eightieth year, he writes with all the vivacity, though without the levity, of youth, and sets out with invoking, not the Muses, like Homer and Ennius, as he observes, but the twelve deities supposed to be chiefly concerned in the operations of agriculture.
		Varro's work is divided into three books, the first of which treats of agriculture; the second, of rearing of cattle; and the third, of feeding animals for the use of the table.

	Second Punic War, 218-201 BC
		To guard against this, one consul, Servilius Geminus was sent to the east coast, the other, Caius Flaminius to guard the passes, each with a normal consular army.
		The two new consuls, Caius Terentius Varro and Lucius Aemilius Paullus, were each given a double sized consular army, which gave them a combined force of 80,000 men, and once their army was ready this massive force moved off towards Hannibal.

	A Brief History of Roman Libraries
		The idea to found a library with sections on Latin and Greek was Caesar's, whom having spent time in Alexandria, wished to equip Rome with a great public library and ordered his friend Marcus Terentius Varro to acquire and classify the books.
		It is arguable that Julius Caesar had sought to turn Rome into the intellectual center of the Mediterranean world.
		Asinius Pollio introduced to Rome the custom of decorating the library with busts of dead writers, although it made an exception with Varro, whose bust included during the writer's lifetime.

	What’s in a Roman Name?
		The first of these is the praenomen or "fore-name." There were a limited number of these in use and so they generally appear in abbreviated form.
		The second element is sometimes called simply the nomen ("name"), more precisely the nomen gentilicium or "gentile name." It designates the gens or "clan" to which the bearer belongs and is therefore the heart of the Roman name.
		Praenomina are not regularly employed, the main exceptions being "Mark Antony" (a Shakespearean inheritance) and Gaius and Tiberius Gracchus, where the praenomina are needed to distinguish between the brothers.
