	Manius Curius Dentatus - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		DENTATUS, MANIUS CURIUS, Roman general, conqueror of the Samnites and Pyrrhus, king of Epirus, was born of humble parents, and was possibly of Sabine origin.
		Dentatus celebrated a magnificent triumph, in which for the first time a number of captured elephants were exhibited.
		Dentatus was consul for the third time in 274, when he finally crushed the Lucanians and Samnites, and censor in 272: In the latter capacity he began to build an aqueduct to carry the waters of the Anio into the city, but died (270) before its completion.

		At home Dentatus was responsible for partly draining Lake Velinus (289), and in 272 began the construction of the Anio Vetus, Rome's second aqueduct.
		He was supposed to have been incorruptible and frugal; the story was that when the Samnites sent ambassadors with expensive gifts in an attempt to influence him in their favor, they found him sitting by the hearth roasting turnips.
		His praenomen is sometimes erroneously given as "Marcus" because the standard abbreviation of Manius, "M'." is easily confused with the "M." abbreviation for "Marcus".

	A Frugal Hero of Ancient Rome
		In its early days the little state was surrounded by enemies, and men would be called from their farms outside the city to defend it against the Volscians, the Samnites and other peoples who were their neighbors in the narrow peninsula of Italy.
		But when the fighting was over, Dentatus would go back to his farm, and work there with his own laborers in the fields until his country called for him again; for he was a man of sturdy, self-respecting character, living a simple country life.
		When Dentatus saw the gold, he refused it with contemptuous laughter, saying that he would rather rule over those who lived in plenty than to be a possessor of wealth himself, and that he was neither to be overcome in battle nor bribed by money.

	Eutropius: Abridgement of Roman History, Book 2
		The Samnites, renewing the war, defeated Quintus Fabius Maximus, with the slaughter of three thousand of his troops; but afterwards, his father, Fabius Maximus, being appointed his lieutenant, he both defeated the Samnites, and took several of their towns.
		Subsequently, Publius Cornelius Rufinus and Manius Curius Dentatus, the two consuls, being sent against the Samnites, reduced their strength in some considerable battles.
		The consuls Manius Curius Dentatus and Cornelius Lentulus were next sent against Pyrrhus; and Curius came to an engagement with him, cut off his army, drove him back to Tarentum.

		_Agrarian Law of Curius._ Beyond the distribution of the _ager publicus_ which formed the basis of the numerous colonies of this period and which will be considered in their proper place, the next agrarian movement was that of Curius Dentatus.

	The Rivalry Of Cato The Elder And Scipio Africanus - Ancient Roman Empire Forums
		Dentatus, like Cato, was a homo novus (7), and he made a name for himself in another "factional" rivalry, specifically as a tribune opposing Appius Claudius, whose exclusion of plebs was rescinded by Dentatus compelling the senate to sanction any legal election before the outcome was announced (8).
		First, after Dentatus won the consulship that he opened to his class, he defeated the Sabines, to whom he immediately reconciled Rome by granting them Roman citizenship without suffrage.
		Dentatus' display of the agrarian virtues of thrift, self-discipline, and a suspicion of Hellenism were much admired by Cato, who often visited the small farm and poor dwelling to which Dentatus retired after celebrating three triumphs.

		This caused delay, so that the night passed, and at daybreak he was in full view of the enemy as he advanced upon them from the heights, and caused much tumult and agitation among them.
		Manius, however, since the sacrifices were propitious and the crisis forced action upon him, led his forces out and attacked the foremost of the enemy, and after routing these, put their whole army to flight, so that many of them fell and some of their elephants were left behind and captured.
		Down they came from their strong places, and hurling their javelins at the elephants compelled them to wheel about and run back through the ranks of their own men, thus causing disorder and confusion there.

	Dancing and Dying
		The commander of the Roman forces, Manius Curius Dentatus, captured some (perhaps four) of the elephants and later exhibited them at Rome in the triumphal parade which celebrated his victory.
		The display gave residents of Rome the pleasure not only of viewing exotic and astonishingly large animals, but also of being reminded that their army had prevailed over these dreadful beasts and thus saved Italy from subjugation by a foreign ruler.
		And it undoubtedly won popular favor for Curius Dentatus, who had not only led the troops to victory, but also arranged to bring the elephants to Rome so that people there could share in the triumph over the enemy.

		However, his night attack on consul Manius Curius Dentatus near Malventum failed, and during the day, he was for the first and last time defeated by the Romans.

		Pyrrhus, the king of Epirus, had engaged the Romans in warfare for the period from 280 to 275 B.C.E. As consul in 275, Curius had himself defeated the adversary at Malventum (later called Beneventum) and celebrated a triumph.
		The praetor (whose magistracy was primarily concerned with administering justice) may have merely raised the matter in the senate (as happened in a later instance: see Chapter 7); alternatively, his role may have been a procedural one in the choice of ad hoc officials.
