A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Sci'pio (search)
Sci'pio 4. P. Cornelius Scipio Barbatus, was consul B. C. 328, with C. Plautius, according to the Fasti. Livy (8.22), however, calls him P. Cornelius Scapula. In B. C. 306 he was appointed dictator, for the purpose of holding the consular comitia, and in the following year he is spoken of as the pontifex maximus. (Liv. 9.44, 46.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), or Seleucus Nicator (search)
] Both the date and the circumstances of this war are unfortunately lost; but it was terminated by a treaty by which Seleucus contracted a matrimonial alliance with the Indian monarch, to whom he ceded all the provinces beyond the Indus, and even that of Paropamisus, in exchange for the gift of 500 elephants, an immense addition to his military resources. (Just. 15.4; Appian. Syr. 55 ; Strab. xv. p.724.) Seleucus had followed the example of Antigonus and Ptolemy, by formally assuming, in B. C. 306, the regal title and diadem, which he had already previously adopted in his intercourse with the barbarian nations by whom He was surrounded (Diod. 20.53; Plut. Demetr. 18) : and he was probably inferior to none of the rival monarchs in power when he was induced, in B. C. 302, to accede to the league formed for the second time by Ptolemy, Lysimachus, and Cassander, against their common enemy Antigonus. The army which he brought into the field, considerably exceeded those of his allies; and

Stratoni'ce 2. Daughter of Corrhaeus (a Macedonian otherwise unknown), and wife of Antigonus, king of Asia, by whom she became the mother of two sons, Demetrius Poliorcetes and Philippus, who died in B. C. 306 (Plut. Demetr. 2). In a B. C. 320 she is mentioned as entering into negotiations with Docimus, when that general was shut up with the other adherents of Perdiccas, in a fortress of Phrygia : but having induced him to quit his stronghold, she caused him to be seized and detained as a prisoner (Diod. 19.16). After the battle of Ipsus she fled from Cilicia (where she had awaited the issue of the campaign) with her son Demetrius to Salamis in Cyprus, B. C. 301. (Id. xxi. Exc. Hoeschel. p. 480.) Here she probably died, as we hear nothing of her when the island fell into the power of Ptolemy some years afterwards.
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Theopompus (search)
ise attacked Alexander and Aristotle in the bitterest manner. (Strab. xiv. p.645.) As long as Alexander lived, his enemies dared not take any open proceedings against Theopompus; and even after the death of the Macedonian monarch, he appears to have enjoyed for some years the protection of the royal house. But when he lost this support, he was expelled from Chios as a disturber of the public peace. He fled to Egypt to king Ptolemy. (Phot. l.c.) Ptolemy did not assume the title of king till B. C. 306, and consequently if the expression of Photius is to be taken literally, we may place the arrival of Theopompus in Egypt in B. C. 305, when he was seventy-five years of age. Photius adds that Ptolemy not only refused to receive Theopompus, but would even have put him to death as a dangerous busybody, had not some of his friends interceded for his life. Of his further fate we have no particulars, but he probably died soon afterwards. Works The following is a list of the works of Theopomp

Tre'mulus, Q. Ma'rcius a plebeian, was twice consul with the patrician P. Cornelius Arvina, the first time in B. C. 306. and the second time in B. C. 288. In his first consulship Tremulus carried on wars against the Hernici and Anagnini, whom he conquered with ease, and then marched to the assistance of his colleague in Samnium. On his arrival in the latter country he was unexpectedly attacked by the Samnites, but Cornelius came to his succour, and the two armies gained a brilliant victory over the enemy. Cornelius remained in Samnium, but Tremulus returned to Rome, where he celebrated a triumph over the Hernici and Anagnini, and an equestrian statue was erected to him in the forum before the temple of Castor. (Liv. 9.42, 43; Fasti Capit.; Cic. Phil. 6.5; Plin. Nat. 34.6.)
