Next day were chosen praetors, Lucius Cornelius Scipio, Marcus Fulvius Nobilior, Caius Scribonius, Marcus Valerius Messala, Lucius Porcius Licinus, and Caius Flaminius. The curule aediles of this year, Caius Atilius Serranus and Lucius Scribonius, first exhibited the Megalesian theatrical games.
Marcus Atilius, the lieutenant-general, also caused the standard of the first company of principes of the same legion to be borne against a cohort of the Spaniards. Lucius Portius Licinus and Titus Popilius, the lieutenant-generals, who had the command of the camp, fought valiantly in defence of the rampart, and slew the elephants while in the very act of crossing it.
All exerting themselves to the utmost, they succeeded in uniting Marcus Livius in the consulate with Caius Claudius. The third day afterwards the election of praetors was held. The praetors created were, Lucius Porcius Licinus, Caius Mamilius, Aulus Hostilius Cato, and Caius Hostilius Cato.
I had never seen in those old days Licinus alive, which to an uneducated eye hardly differs from many of the black Carabidous beetles; but my sons found here a specimen, and I instantly recognised that it was new to me; yet I had not looked at a British beetle for the last twenty years. I have not as yet mentioned a circumstance which influenced my whole career more than any other.
Seneca was of this opinion also, as was Licinus the consul. Meanwhile the excitement below was increasing. The people were arming with stones, tent-poles, sticks from the wagons, planks, and various pieces of iron.
He was told, Licinus. Upon which, he broke off the case, exclaiming, 'Eloquence is no more!" The truth is it had only begun to decline then, when in Afer's opinion it no longer existed: whereas now it is almost extinct.
Aut arguta lacus circumvolitavit hirando." An epigram attributed to him, but probably of somewhat later date, is as follows: "Marmoreo Licinus tumulo iacet, at Cato parvo; Pompeius nullo. Ciedimus esse deos?" The study of law had received a great impulse from the labours of Scaevola. But among his successors none can be named beside him, though many attained to a respectable eminence.
The new Platonists would scarcely deserve a place in the history of science, but in that of the church the mention of them will very frequently occur. Part I.

A very similar jeu d'esprit of PORCIUS LICINUS is quoted: "Custodes ovium, teneraeque propaginis agnum, Quaeritis ignem? ite huc: Quaeritis? ignis homo est. Si digito attigero, incendam silvam simul omnem, Omne pecus: flamma est omnia quae video." This Porcius wrote also on the history of literature. Some rather ill- natured lines on Terence are preserved in Suetonius.
