  Eumenius - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Eumenius probably took his place, for it was from Autun that he went to be magister memoriae (private secretary) to Constantius Chlorus, whom he accompanied on several of his campaigns.
Eumenius generously gave up a considerable portion of his emoluments to the improvement of the schools.
Eumenius is far the best of the orators of his time, and superior to the majority of the writers of imperial panegyrics.

 Eumenius Biography on DanceAge
The emperor appointed Eumenius to the management of the schools, allowing him to keep the rank of a senior imperial officer and doubling his salary.
The purpose of the speech is to ask the governor if Eumenius may dedicate his salary (or a large part of it) to rebuild the schools at Autun.
He praises the emperors (Constantius and his colleagues of the tetrarchy) and sets forth the steps necessary to restore the schools to their former state of efficiency, stressing that he intends to assist the good work out of his own pocket.

Eu­menius flourished towards the close of the third and at the beginning of the fourth centuries, and at­tained to such high reputation that he was ap­pointed to the office of magister sacrae memoriae, a sort of private secretary, in the court of Constantius Chlorus, by whom he was warmly esteemed and loaded with favours.
The precise period of his death, as of his birth, is unknown, but we gather from his writings that he had, at all events, passed the prime of life.
Heyne is unwilling to believe that Eumenius is the author of this declamation, which he considers altogether out of character with the moderation and good taste displayed in his other compositions.

There is ma doubt that Eumenius was a heathen, not even a nominal followet of Christianity, like Ausonius and other writers from Gaul.
Nothing is known of his later years; but he must have lived at least till 31s, if the Gratiarum Actio to Constantine is by him.
There are treatises on Eumenius by B. Kilian (Wurzburg, 1869), S. Brandt (Freiburg im Breisgau, 1882), and H. Sachs (Halle, 1885) ; see also Gaston Boissier, " Les Rh6teurs gaulois du IVe siecle," in journal des savants (1884).

 Aedui
The Aedui were the first of the Gauls to receive from the emperor Claudius the distinction of juo hanorum[?].
The oration of Eumenius[?], in which he pleaded for the restoration of the schools of his native place Augustodunum, shows that the district was neglected.
The chief magistrate of the Aedui in Caesar's time was called Vergobretus[?] (according to Mommsen, "judgment-worker"), who was elected annually, possessed powers of life and death, but was forbidden to go beyond the frontier.

Eumenius flourished during the reigns of Constantius, with whom he was in high favor, and Constantine.
The authorship of Eumenius has been unwarrantably questioned, on the ground that the flattery and exaggeration of the work are not consistent with his taste and sense; but it would seem that both his exaggeration and his taste have been themselves exaggerated.
In the midst of the period which these cover comes one of the two great Christian sources, and he is followed by a considerable row of great and small Christians during the century.

Towards the end of the 3rd and during the 4th century, as a result of the orientalizing of the Imperial court by Diocletian, it became customary to celebrate as a matter of course the superhuman virtues and achievements of the reigning emperor.
Twelve speeches of the kind (Pliny's included), eight of them by famous Gallic rhetoricians (Claudius Mamertinus, Eumenius, Nazarius, Drepanius Pacatus) and three of anonymous authorship, have been collected under the title of Panegyrici veteres latini (ed.

 foundation myth
The oldest reference to the 'Picts' was by the Roman, Eumenius in 297AD but this was some 200 years after they had been ruling Britannia.
, Eumenius identifying the Picts along with the Hiberni as the enemies of the Britons and in a reference in 310 to the 'woods and marshes of the Caledones and other Picts' makes clear that the Caledonians were percieved as Picts.
Foster (1996) therefore argues that in historical terms "Pictish" would apply from 79AD with the advancement of the Romans beyond the Forth-Clyde ismuth into Caledonia and up until 842/900 when the mac Ailpin dynasty came to establish itself.

 The Highlanders of Scotland
The history of the Saxons is too well known to require any examination; their attacks upon the Romans and provincial Britons were merely piratical excursions, and they had no settlement in the island till long after this period.
Their antiquity in the country however is evident from Eumenius, the first author who mentions the Picts; and from whom it appears, that they certainly existed in Britain as early as the days of Caesar [Soli Britanni Pictis modo et Hibernis assueta hostibus.
It appears then that the Picts consisted of two great nations, of which one is identified by Eumenius with the Caledonii; and as the Maeatae were certainly of the same race, and inhabited the same territories with the other division of the Pictish nation, their identity cannot be doubted.

The Picti were first referred to in AD 297 by Eumenius.

 The Picts and Their Legacy
The first known literary reference to the Picts by Eumenius at the close of the third century refers to Caesar fighting Picts and Scots.
Also the discovery of the probable tribal name Pexa dating from the Severan campaign of the early third century means we should put the dawn of the Pictish era considerably earlier than 297 AD which has been the standard practice.
There are several references to the Picts in Roman sources - the earliest possibly being contained in a list of forts on the Antonine wall probably compiled during the Severan Campaign of AD 196.
