ANTONI A'NO (Silvio), a man of great learning, who 
railed himfelf from a low condition by bis merit, was bom 
at Rome in the year 1540. When only ten years old, he 
could make verfeS upon any (iibjedt propofed to him. 
The duke of Ferrara, coming to Rome, was fo charmed 
with his genius, that he carried him to Ferrara, and pro¬ 
vided able mailers to inftrudl him in all the fciences. 
From thence he was lent for by Pius IV. who made him 
profeftbr of the belles lettres ir\ the college at Rome. An- 
fcouiftno filled this place with fo much reputation, that, on 
ANT 
the day of his oration pro Marco Marcello, he had a vail 
crowd of auditors, and among them no lefs than twenty- 
five cardinals. He was then chofen redlor of the college ; 
and, after the death of Pius IV. he joined himfelf to Phi¬ 
lip Neri, and accepted the office of fecretary to tire facred 
college, offered him by Pius V. which he executed for 23 
years with the reputation of an honed and able man. He 
refilled a bifbopric which Gregory XIV. would have gi¬ 
ven him ; but he accepted the office of fecretary to the 
briefs, offered him by Clement VIII. who made him his 
chamberlain, and afterwards a cardinal. Antoniano is 
faid to have died of fatigue : for he fpent whole nights in 
ftudy, which brought on his death, in the 63d year of his age. 
AN rONI'DES VANDER GOES (John), an emi- 
nent Dutch poet, born at Goes ir> Zealand, the 3d of April, 
1647, His parents were people of good character, but of 
low circumftances. Tl hey went to live at Amfterdam 
when Antonides was about four years old ; and id the 
ninth year of his age he began his ftudies, under the di¬ 
rection of Hadrian Junius and James Coccieus. Antoni¬ 
des took great pleafure in reading the Latin poets, and 
carefully compared them with Grotius, Heinfms, &c. By 
tliis means he acquired a tafte for poetry, and enriched Iris 
mind with elegant ideas. He undertook one of tiie 1110ft 
difficult talks in poetry, to write a tragedy : this was Tra- 
zil, or The invafion of China. Antonides, however, was fo 
modeft, as not to permit it to be publilbed. Vondel, who 
was then engaged in a dramatic piece, which was taken 
alfo from fome event that happened in China, read Anto- 
nides’s tragedy ; and was fo well plcafed with it, that he 
declared, it the author would not print it, lie would take 
fome paflages out of it, and make ufe of them in his own 
tragedy. He accordingly did fo ; and it was reckoned 
much to the honour of Antonides, to have written what 
might be adopted by fo great a poet as Vondel. Upon the 
conclufion ot the peace between Great Britain and Hol¬ 
land, in the year 1674, Antonides wrote a piece, intitled 
Bellona aan band, i. e. “ Bellona chained ;” a very elegant 
performance. lie next wrote an ingenious heroic poem, 
intitled The River Y, (the river on which Amfterdam is 
built.) Antonides foon gained the efteem and friendffiip 
of feveral perfonsof dillimStion ; particularly of Mr. Bui- 
fero, one of the lords of the admiralty at Amfterdam, who 
fent him at his own expence to the univerfity. of Leyden, 
where lie remained till he took his degree cf doCtor of phy- 
fic, and then his patron gave hiin a place in the admiralty. 
In 1678, Antonides married Sufanna Bermans, a mini- 
fter’s daughter, who had alfo a talent for poetry. After 
marriage, he did not much indulge his poetic genius ; and 
within a few years he fell into a confumption, of which 
he died on the 18th of September, 1684, being but thirty- 
feven years and a few months old. He is efteemed the 
rnoft eminent Dutch poet after Vondel. His works were 
collected by father Anthony Tanfz. The bed edition was 
printed by Nicholas Ten Hoorn, at Amfterdam, in 1714, 
in 4to. 
ANTONI'NUS PIUS, the Roman emperor, was born 
at Lanuvium in Italy, A. C. 86, of a family originally 
from Nifmes in Languedoc. His character was in all re- 
fpeiSts one of the moil amiable that can be imagined ; and 
he had the title of Pius given him by the fenate. We have 
no regular account of the tranfaclions of his reign, fince 
Capitolinas has written in a very [confided manner, and 
we have only an abridgment of Dion Caffius’s hiftory by 
Xiphilin now extant. He managed the public revenues 
with great frugality, yet was extremely generous; was 
fond of peace, and in war preferred the reputation of juf- 
tice to all the advantage which might be gained by vidlo- 
ry. He was more intent upon preferving the bounds of 
his empire than extending them; and he often made ufe 
of Scipio’s expreftion, That he chofe rather to fave one 
citizen than kill a thoufand enemies. By this conduct he 
made himfelf univerfally efteemed and revered in that age, 
and admired by pofterity. This great and good emperor 
died in 161, aged 75 years, having reigned 23.
