Then still another fact makes it easy to see that the law is a bad one: we are the only Greeks to observe it, and no other state is prepared to imitate us.The evidence on the subject of ostracism in Greece at large is too inconclusive to enable us either to accept or to reject this statement with confidence. It is known that the institution existed for a time at least at Argos （Aristot. Pol. 8.3, 1302b 18）, at Miletus （Schol. Aristoph. Kn. 855）, at Megara （ibid.）, and at Syracuse （Dio. Sic. 11.87.6）. It was introduced at Syracuse in 454 B.C. under the name of petalismo/s, definitely in imitation of Athens. Yet it is recognized that the best institutions are those which have proved most suited to democracy and oligarchy alike and which are the most gene

B.C.When Ariston was
archon in Athens, the Romans elected as consuls
Quintus Fabius Vibulanus and Lucius Cornelius Curitinus. This year the Athenians and
Peloponnesians agreed to a truce of five years, Cimon the Athenian having conducted the
negotiations. In Sicily a war arose between the peoples of Egesta and Lilybaeum
over the land on the Mazarus River, and in a sharp battle which ensued both cities lost heavily
but did not slacken their rivalry. And after the enrolment of

citizens without plan and in a haphazard fashion, the cities were in an unhealthy state and
falling back again into civil strife and disorders; and it was especially in Syracuse that this malady prevailed. For a man by the name of Tyndarides, a rash fellow full of effrontery,

In which of the local glories of the past, divinely blessed Thebe, did you most delight your spirit? Was it when you raised to eminence the one seated beside Demeter of the clashing bronze cymbals, flowing-hairedDionysus? Or when you received, as a snow-shower of gold in the middle of the night, the greatest of the gods,
when he stood in the doorway of Amphitryon, and then went in to the wife to beget Heracles? Or did you delight most in the shrewd counsels of Teiresias? Or in the wise horseman Iolaus?Or in the Sown Men, untiring with the spear? Or when you sent Adrastus back from the mighty war-shout, bereft
of countless companions, to Argos, home of horses? Or because you stood upright on its feet the Dorian colony of the men of Lacedaemon, and your descendants,the Aegeids, captured Amyclae according to the Pythian oracles? But since ancient grace sleeps, and mortals are forgetful
of whatever does not reach the highest blo

The new tribunes of the plebs consultedB.C. 448-447 the wishes of the nobles in the co-optation of colleagues; they even chose two who were patricians and ex-consuls, Spurius Tarpeius and Aulus Aternius.The lex sacrata (II. xxxiii. 1) denied patricians access to the tribunate, but apparently there was at this time a disposition to wink at their co-optation. Tarpeius and Aternius had been consuls in 454 B.C.
The new consuls, Spurius Herminius and Titus Verginius Caelimontanus, being specially devoted neither to the cause of the patricians nor to that of the plebs, enjoyed a peaceful year both at home and abroad.

or ATE'RIUS consul B. C. 454, with Sp. Tarpeius. (Liv. 3.31.)
The consulship is memorable for the passing of the Lex Aternia Tarpeia. (Dict. of Ant. s. v.) Aternius was subsequently in B. C. 448, one of the patricians tribunes of the people, which was the only time that patricians were elected to that office. (Liv. 3.65.)

3. SER. SULPICIUS SER. F. SER. N. CAMERINUS CORNUTUS, consul B. C. 461, when the lex Terentillia was brought forward a second time for a reform in the laws. (Liv. 3.10; Dionys. A. R. 10.1 ; Diod. 11.84; Plin. Nat. 2.57.)
This law, however, was successfully resisted by the patricians; but when in B. C. 454 it was resolved to send three ambassadors into Greece to collect information respecting the laws of the Greek states, Ser. Camerinus was one of their number, according to Dionysius (10.52), though Livy calls him (3.31) Publius.
The ambassadors remained three years in Greece, and on their return Ser. Camerinus was appointed a member of the decemvirate in B. C. 451. (Liv. 3.33; Dionys. A. R. 10.56.) In B. C. 446 he commanded the cavalry under the consuls T. Quinctius Capitolinus and Agrippa Furius Medullinus in the great battle against the Volsi and Aequi fought in that year. (Liv. 3.70.)
