 The Internet Classics Archive | Marcellus by Plutarch
Marcellus, highly indignant, accused the man in the senate: where he, having appealed to the tribunes of the people, endeavoured by various shifts and exceptions to elude the impeachment; and, when the tribunes refused their protection, by flat denial rejected the charge.
Marcellus, because his men were few, that they might not be encompassed and charged on all sides by the enemy, extended his wings of horse, and, riding about, drew out his wings of foot in length, till he came near to the enemy.
Marcellus, therefore, taking with him his colleague Crispinus, and his son, a tribune of soldiers, with two hundred and twenty horse at most (among whom there was not one Roman, but all were Etruscans, except forty Fregellans, of whose courage and fidelity he had on all occasions received full proof), goes to view the place.

Claudius II Claudius II Gothicus, Marcus Aurelius Claudius Gothicus (reigned 268 - 270) ruled the Roman Empire for less than two years, but during that brief time, he was so successful and beloved by the people of Rome that he still attained divine status.
Claudius was born in 214 in the province of Illyricum or in Upper Moesia (probably either Dardania or the modern Sirmium region in Croatia and Serbia).
Claudius II Gothicus is also known to history for his execution of a little-known Christian monk named Valentinus, who secretly married Claudius' soldiers in defiance of an order from him that professional soldiers were not to marry.

Famine, pestilence, and ultimately treachery on the part of the Spanish auxiliaries of the Syracusans enabled Marcellus to make himself master of the place (212 B.C.), after which the remainder of Sicily was soon brought under the dominion of the Romans.
In 210 B.C. he was again consul and was again opposed to Hannibal, with whom he fought an indecisive battle at Numistro in Lucania, and by whom he was defeated at Canusium in Apulia in 209 B.C. On the following day, however, he retrieved the defeat.
