  Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Sextus Empiricus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Sextus Empiricus (writing some time in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD), was a physician and philosopher, and probably lived in Alexandria and Athens.
His claim to eminence rests on the fact that he developed and formulated the doctrines of the older Sceptics, and that he handed down a full and, on the whole, an impartial, account of the members of his school.
He argued that to reach the state of ataraxia (approximately 'peace of mind'), philosophers must first learn to 'suspend judgement', that is, to believe to an equal degree any claim and its denial.

 Roman Emperors - DIR Tacitus
In the seven hundred and twenty-second year from the foundation of the city, but the four hundred and eightieth from the expulsion of the kings, the custom was resumed at Rome of absolute obedience to one man, with, instead of rex, the appellation imperator or the more venerable name Augustus.
Aurelius Antonius Bassianus Caracalla, Severus' son, was born at Lugdunum and ruled alone six years.
In Italy, that man was victor in three battles: at Placentia, beside the Metaurus River and the Altar of Fortuna, and, finally, at the Ticenensian Fields.
