^ C. Lucilius, the first Eoman satirical poet of any importance, was 
born B.C. 148, and died B.C. 103. From Juvenal we learn that he was 
born at Suessa of the Aurunci, and from Velleius Paterculus and Horace 
other particulars respecting him. He is supposed to have been either the 
maternal grand-uncle or maternal grandfather of Pompeius Magnus. If 
not absolutely the inventor of Boman satire, he was the first to mould it 
into that form which was afterwards fully developed by Horace, Juvenal, 
and Perseus. He is spoken of in high terms as a writer by Cicero, 
Horace, and Quintilian.

92 There were several physicians of this name ; one was a native of 
Apamea in Bithynia, a follower of Herophilus, who flourished in the third 
or second century b.c. ; another lived about the same period, and is by
