	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Mucius
		In Roman mythology, Mucius (also known as Gaius Mucius Scaevola and Mucius the Left-handed) was a hero who saved Rome from the Etruscans, led by Lars Porsena.
		Mucius proved his bravery by placing his right hand in a fire and telling Lars Porsena that he "inspires fear, but feels none." He also told Porsena that even if he should die, the Romans would continue to send man after man, each of whom would attempt another assassination.
		Mucius proved the bravery of the Romans, and was later to be known as Scaevola ("left hand", derived from the latin word scaevus meaning "left/on the left").

		Close to the passing the law on the juries Gaius passed a law establishing that the contracts for collecting the tithe in the province of Asia be let at auction by the censors in Roma rather than by the governor in Asia establishing the contracts for collecting the tithe in Asia itself.
		Gaius' next step, perhaps acting to counter the rising discontent of the Roman citizens, was to pass legislation that authorized the establishment of Roman colonies in the Italian peninsula.
		Gaius' death may have ended the period of Gracchi leadership and their attempt at reform but it was near the vortex of the storm of the Roman Revolution and the beginning of others attempting to assume the mantle of Gracchi appeals to groups to challenge the control of the senatorial oligarchy.

	Gaius Mucius Scaevola
		The legend of Gaius Mucius Scaevola is best known from the History of Rome from its foundation by Livy (2.12.1-13.5) and the Roman Antiquities by Dionysius of Halicarnassus (5.27-30), who calls the man Cordus, "late born".
		Several acts of Roman heroism (by Horatius Cocles, Cloelia, and Mucius Scaevola) convince the invader that he will never be able to capture the city, and therefore, negotiations are opened.
		After his return to the city, Mucius is surnamed Scaevola ("left hand") and the Senate rewards him with a grant of land west of the river, the Mucia Prata, "Mucian Meadows".

		Lucrece's statement echoes the words, which according to Tit Livy, Gaius Mucius Scaevola uttered when burning his own hand for his/its failure to assassinate the enemy, the Etruscan king Porsenna.
		Michael Neill has argued that in the Elizabethan and Jacobean period Scaevola's mutilation of his right hand was deemed an impressive demonstration of Roman virtus and at the same time resonated powerfully with recent events.
		Scaevola's act is designed to exemplify the restorative effect of Lucrece's suicide on the Romans.
