Paulus was censor in 164, and died in 16o after a long illness. At the funeral games exhibited in his honour the Hecyra of Terence was acted for the second and the Adelphi for the first time. An aristocrat to the back-bone, he was yet beloved by the people. Of the vast sums brought by him into the Roman treasury from Spain and Macedonia he kept nothing to himself, and at his death his property scarcely sufficed to pay his wife's dowry. As a general he was a strict disciplinarian; as an augur he discharged his duties with care and exactness. He was greatly in sympathy with Greek learning and art, and was a friend of the historian Polybius
See Plutarch , Aemilius Paulus; Livy xliv. 17xlvi. 41; Polybius
