CINCINNATUS

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 374 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CINCINNATUS ,1 LUCIUS QUINCTIUS (b. c. 519 B.C.), one of the heroes of early Rome, a model of old Roman virtue and simplicity. A persistent opponent of the plebeians, he resisted the proposal of Terentilius Arsa (or Harsa) to draw up a code of written
laws
  applicable equally to
patricians
 
    See Also:
and plebeians. He was in humble circumstances, and lived and worked on his own small farm. The story that he became impoverished by paying a fine incurred by his son Caeso is an attempt to explain the needy position. of so distinguished a man. Twice he was called from the plough to the dictatorship of Rome in 458 and 439. In 458 he defeated the Aequians in a single day, and after entering Rome in
triumph
  with large spoils returned to his farm. The story of his success, related five times under five different years, possibly rests on an historical basis, but the
account
  given in Livy of the achievements of the Roman army is obviously incredible.
See Livy iii. 26-29;
Dion
 . Halic. x. 23-25; Florus i. I i. For a
critical
  examination of the story see Schwegler, Romische Geschichte, bk. xxviii. 12; Sir G. Cornewall
Lewis
 , Credibility of early Roman History, ch. xii. 4o; W. lllne, History of Rome, i.; E. Pais, Storia di Roma, i. ch. 4 (1898).
