	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2002.03.20
		After surveying Mummius' career before the consulship and the course of his campaign in Greece, Graverini examines Mummius' conduct in the months between the destruction of Corinth and his return to Rome.
		Mummius followed the example of previous Roman generals in Greece who, since Flamininus in 196, had shown their respect for the Greek cities and for Greek culture and tradition.
		Mummius served as censor in 142, together with Scipio Aemilianus, and there are no secure notices of Mummius after that; Graverini rejects the notice in Appian (1.37.168) that Mummius was condemned to exile in 90 and spent the rest of his life on Delos.

		The Lusitani are mentioned for the first time in Livy 218 BC and are described as Carthage Carthaginian mercenaries; they are reported as fighting against Rome in 194 BC, sometimes allied with the Celtiberians.
		In 179 BC the praetor Lucius Postumius Albinus celebrated a Roman Triumph triumph over the Lusitani, but in 155 BC, on the command of Punicus perhaps a Carthaginian general first and Cesarus after, the Lusitani reached Gibraltar.
		Servius Sulpicius Galba organized a false armistice, but while the Lusitani celebrated this new alliance, he massacred them, selling the survivors as slaves; this caused a new rebellion led by Viriathus who was soon killed by traitors.

	The Internet Classics Archive \| Caius Marius by Plutarch
		We are altogether ignorant of any third name of Caius Marius; as also of Quintus Sertorius, that possessed himself of Spain or of Lucius Mummius that destroyed Corinth, though this last was surnamed Achaicus from his conquests, as Scipio was called Africanus, and Metellus, Macedonicus.
		When Sylla, relying on his word, came to him, the African began to doubt and repent of his purpose, and for several days was unresolved with himself, whether he should deliver Jugurtha or retain Sylla; at length he fixed upon his former treachery, and put Jugurtha alive into Sylla's possession.
		Marius's pretences for this action of his seemed very ridiculous; for he said he wanted to go and teach his son to be a general.

		Born in 185 BC, he was the second son of Lucius Aemilius Paullus Macedonicus, hero of the Third Macedonian War and son of the consul (of the same name) who fell at the Battle of Cannae in 216.
		Serving as military tribune to Lucius Lucullus, Scipio displayed great personal courage in the Spanish campaigns; in 151 he killed a Spanish chieftain who had challenged him to single combat, and at Intercatia he won the mural crown (corona muralis), which was awarded to the first man to mount the walls of an enemy town.
		He soon reached the crown of a noble's career by his election to the censorship of 142, though the other censor Lucius Mummius, who had brought peace to Greece by his sack of Corinth, was not a welcome colleague.

	Ancient History Sourcebook: Suetonius: De Vita Caesarum--Galba, c. 110 C.E.
		The emperor Servius Galba was born in the consulship of Marcus Valerius Messala and Gnaeus Lentulus, on the ninth day before the Kalends of January [December 24, 3 B.C.E. ], in a country house situated on a hill near Tarracina, on the left as you go towards Fundi.
		Adopted by his stepmother Livia, he took her name and the surname Ocella, and also changed his forename; for he used Lucius, instead of Servius, from that time until he became emperor.
		Afterwards when Galba was beginning his revolt, nothing gave him so much encouragement as the foaling of a mule, and while the rest were horrified and looked on it as an unfavorable omen, he alone regarded it as most propitious, remembering the sacrifice and his grandfather's saying.

		But it was probably some factitious metal made there, that took the polish and assumed the brightness of gold, and because of its hardness was more durable.

		Besides, even economy had been consulted, when a permanent edifice was erected for a theatre, in preference to a structure raised and fitted up yearly at vast expense.

		In the consulship of Publius Marius and Lucius Asinius, Antistius, the praetor, whose lawless behaviour as tribune of the people I have mentioned, composed some libellous verses on the emperor, which he openly recited at a large gathering, when he was dining at the house of Ostorius Scapula.
		He was upon this impeached of high treason by Cossutianus Capito, who had lately been restored to a senator's rank on the intercession of his father-in-law, Tigellinus.
		As it was, one of Plautus's freedmen, thanks to swift winds, arrived before the centurion and brought him a message from his father-in-law, Lucius Antistius.
