EueroicB, I. the wife of Amyntas, king of Mace-
donia. She had, by her husband Alexander, Perdiccas
inJ Philip, and one daughter called Euryone, who was
married to Ptolemy Aloriles. A criminal partiality
for her daughter's husband, to whom she offered her
hand and the kingdom, made her conspire against
Amyntas, who must have fallen a victim to her infi-
delity, bad not Euryone discovered it. Amyntas for-
gave her. Alexander ascended the throne after his
lather's death, and perished by the ambition of his
mother. Perdiccas, who succeeded him, shared his
fate; but Philip, who was the next in succession, se-
cured himself against all attempts from his mother,
and ascended tho throne wilh peace snd universal
satisfaction. Eurydice fled to Iphicratcs, the Athe-
nian general, for protection. The manner of her death
is unknown. (C. JVep. , Vit. Iphicl. , 3. )--II. A daugh-
ter of Antipatcr, and the wife of Ptolemy I. of Egypt,
jy whom she had several children. After the death
of Alexander the Great, she proceeded to Alexandrea
for the purpoae of rejoining her husband, and she
brought with ber Berenice, her niece, who proved the
source of all her misfortunes. For Berenice inspired
Ptolemy with so strong a passion, that he took her as
his second wife, and allowed himself to be controlled
entirely bv her influence Eurydice and her children
retired to the court of Selcucus, king of Syria. One
of ber daughters subsequently married Agathocles, son
of Lysimachus; and another, Demetrius Poliorcetcs.
Ptolemy Ceraunus, the eldest of her sons, seized upon
the kingdom of Macedonia. Eurydice followed him
to that country, and contributed to conciliate towards
him the minds of the Macedonians, through the respect
which they entertained for the memory of her father
? Antipaler. Ptolemy Ceraunus having been slain, B. C.
290, in a battle against the Gauls, Macedonia was de-
livered up to the ravages of these barbarians, and Eu-
rydice fled for protection to the city of Cassandrca.
In order to attach the inhabitants more strongly to her
interests, she gave them their freedom; and they,
through gratitude, established a festival called after
ber Eurydice a. The rest of her history is not knowc.
--III. A daughter of Amyntas and Cynane. Her pre-
vious name was Adea, afterward changed to Eurydice.

She married Aridseus, the half-brother of Alexander,
and for some time, through the aid of Cassander, de-
fended Macedonia against Polysperchon and Olympias.
Having been forsaken, at length, by her own troops,
she fell into the hands of Olympias, together with her
husband. Both were put to death by that queen.

EusrbTus Pamphili, I. one of the most distinguished
among the earlier Christian writers, and the friend of
Constantine, was born in Palestine, probably at Cmsa-
rea, about 264 A. D. He pursued his studies at Anti-
och, and is believed to have received holy orders from
Agapius, bishop of C;rsarea. After having been or-
dained presbyter, he set up a school in his native city,
and formed an intimate acquaintance with Pamphilus,
bishop of Csesarca, who suffered martyrdom under
Galerius, A. D. 309, and in memory of whose friendship
he added to his name the term Pamphili, i. c , "(the
friend) of Pamphilus. " After the martyrdom of his
friend he removed to Tyre, and thence to Egypt, where
he himself was imprisoned. On hia return from
Egypt, he succeeded Agapius in the sei of Cssarea,
AJ[). 315. In common with many other biahops of
Palestine, he at first espoused the cause of Arius; but
at the council of Nice, in 325, where the Emperor Con-
namine assigned to Eusebius the office of opening the
session of the assembly, the opinions of the heresiarch
were condemned. He is said, however, to have raised
iome objections to the words " consubstantial with the
Father," as applied to the Son in the Nicene creed.
His intimacy with his namesake Eusebius, bishop of
Nicomedia, who openly espoused the cause of Arius,
led him also to favour the same, and to use his influ-
ence with the emperor for the purpose of reinstating
Arius in the church, in defiance of the opposition of
Athanasius. The party to which he attached himself
were called Eusebians, from their leader Eusebius of
Nicomedia, and they seem to have acted in a great
degree through hostility towards Athanasius ana his
supporters, as they did not, as yet, openly advocate the
objectionable tenets of Arius, who had himself appa-
rently submitted to the decrees of the council of Nice.
Eusebius afterward, in 330, assisted at the council of
Antioch, where the Arians triumphed, and he was pres-
ent at the council of Tyre in 335, and joined those
bishops who censured the proceedings of Athanasius,
the great champion of orthodoxy. Eusebius was de-
puted by this council to defend before Constantine the
judgment which they had passed against Athanasius;
and he appears to have used his influence with the em-
peror to have Athanasius banished. The part which
he look in this unfortunate controversy caused him to
be stigmatized as an Arian, though it appears that he
fully admitted the divinity of Christ; a'. :J all thru his

in sufficiently novel in its ntture to merit such notice.
An account of the Armenian version is also given by
Saint Martin (Journal des Savant, 1820, p. 106).
Tbe conclusion to which the last-mentioned writer ar-
rives, is as follows: that the great advantages ex-
pected to have been derived from the version to which
we are referring, must be graduated much lower than
lhey originally were; and yet, at the same time, that
ihis discovery is of sufficient importance to merit hon-
ourable mention, since it givea a great degree of cer-
tainty lo many particulars, of which we were before
put in possession relative to ancient history, and ren-
ders incontestable the authority of the Greek fragments
published by Scaliger. --Eusebius was also the author
of an Ecclesiastical History ('EKKknaiaOTiidi loropia),
in ten books, from the origin of Christianity down lo
A. D. 324, a year which immediately preceded the
triumph of the Catholic church over Arianism. This
work contains no express history of church dogmas.
The author proposed to himself a different object,
which he specifies in the first book. It was to make
known the succession of the apostles, and the individ-
uals who, placed a* the head of the different churches,
distinguished themselves by their firmness and apos-
tolic virtues, or who defended the word of God by their
writings; to make mention of the persons who had
endeavoured to propagate false doctrines; to describe
the misfortunes and sufferings that had befallen the
Jewish nation, as a punishment for their rejection of
the Saviour; as well as the persecutions to which the
faithful had been exposed, and the triumph procured
for Christianity by the Emperor Constantine. A sec-
ondary object which Eusebius bad in view, although
he does not expressly mention it, was to transmit to
posterity literary notices of those writers who had
treated before him of detached portions of the sacred
history. What he proposed to himself, however, was
leu to instruct and edify the faithful, than to place in
the bands of the Gentiles a work which might induce
them to renounce the errors of their religious systems
and the prejudices of education. One is tempted, at
least, to ascribe this intention to him, when we call to
mind that his work contains a number of things known
lo every Christian reader; such as, for example, all
that relates to the person of our Saviour, and the au-
thenticity of the sacred writings; and also when we
consider the skill he has displayed in placing in a
prominent point of view the claims of Christianity,
without, at the same time, making any direct attack on
he absurdities of paganism. As Eusebius makes no
mention of the troubles occasioned in the church by
the doctrines of Arianism, it has been concluded that
his history was not continued by him during the last
sixteen years of his life (for he lived until 340); but
that, being brought down by him to an epoch anterior
to the council of Nice, it was concluded in 324. In
support of this opinion it may be remarked, that Pan-
inus, tbe bishop, to whom he addresses himself at the
commencement of the tenth book, was dead in 325.
(Consult Haake. dc Byzantinarum rerum seriptoribus
liber. Lips. , 1677, 4-to, pt. I, c. \, t 222. ) In gen-
eral, Eusebius may be called a moderate, impartial,
and judicious writer. His history was translated into
Latin by Rufinuo, a priest of Aquileia, in the fourth cen-
tury: he has made, however, retrenchments as well as
additions, and has added a supplement in two books,
which extends to the death of Theodosius the Great.

in the former of these commentaries he is largely

Schweighaeuser holds the following strong language
relative to the extent of these obligations (Prof, ad.

was created consul, a disgrace to Rome never before
equalled. An insult offered to the empress was the
cause of his overthrow; and he was sent into perpet-

Fabia Gens, a numerous and powerful patrician
jioe of ancient Rome, which became subdivided into
leveral families or branches, distinguished by their re-
spective cognomina, such as Fabii Maximi, Fabii Am-
busti, Fabii Vibulani, <5cc. Pliny says that the name
of Ibis bouse arose from the circumstance of its found-
en having excelled in the culture of the bean (faba),
the early Romans having been remarkable for their at-
tachment to agricultural pursuits. (P'm. , 18,3. ) Ac-
cording to Fcslua, however, the Fabii traced their ori-
gin to Hercules (Fest. , s. r. Fabii), and their name,
therefore, is thought to have come rather from the
Etrurian term Fains <rr Fabia, which Passeri makes
equivalent to "august" or "venerable. " (Tab. Eu-
cubin, vii , tin. 22. ) But this etymology is less prob-
able, since the Fabii are B<<-:d, by the ordinary author-
ities, to have been of Sab. nc origin, and to have set-
tled on the Quirinal from the time of the earliest Ro-
man kings. After the expulsion of the Tarquinii, the
Fabian, as one of the older houses, exercised consider-
able influence in the senate. Casso Fabius, being
quaestor with L. Valerius, impeached Spurius Cassius,
B C. 486. A. U. C. 268, and had him evecuted. It has
been noted as a remarkable fact, that, for seven consec-
utive years from that time, one of the two annual con-
sulships was filled by three brothers Fabii in rotation.
Niebuhr has particularly investigated this oeriod of
Roman history, and speculated on the causes of this
long retention of office by the Fabii, as connected with
the straggle then pending between the patricians and
plebeians, and the attempt of the former to monopolize
'be elections. (Rom. Hist, vol. 2, p. 174, scqq. )

pofunity of availing himself of any error or neglect on
the part of the Carthaginians. This mode of warfare,
which was new to the Romans, acquired for Fabius
the name of Cunetator or "delayer," and was cen-
sured by the yong, the rash, and the ignorant; but
* probably was the means of saving Koine from ruin.
Uinucius, who shared with Fabius the command of the
army, having imprudently engaged Hannibal, was
saved from total destruction by the timely assistance
tf tha dictator. In the following year, however,
A U. C. 636, Fabius being recalled to Rome, the com-
? and of the army was intrusted to the consul Tcren-
tus Varro, who rushed imprudently to battle, and the
defeat at Carina made manifest the wisdom of the dic-
tator's previous caution. Fabius was chosen consul
the next year, and was again employed in keeping
Hannibal in check. In A. U. C. 543, being consul for
the fifth time, he retook Tarentum by stratagem, after
which he narrowly escaped being caught himself in a
snare by Hannibal near Metapontum. (Lit. , 27, 15,
seq. ) When, some years after, the question was dis-
cussed in the senate, of sending Scipio with an army
into Africa, Fabius opposed it, saying that Italy ought
first to be rid of Hannibal. Fabius died some time
after at a very advanced age. His son, called likewise
Quintus Fabius Maximus, who had also been consul,
died before him. His grandson Quintus Fabius Max-
imus Servilianus, being proconsul, fought against Vir-
iathus in Spain, and concluded with him an honour-
able peace. (Livy, Epit? 54. ) He was afterward
consul repeatedly, and also censor. He wrote An-
nals, which are quoted by Macrobius. (Sal. , 1, 16. )
His brother by adoption, Quintus Fabius Maximus
yErmlianus, the son of Paulus jEmilius (Lie. , 45,41),
was consul A. U. C. 609, and was the father of Fabius,
called Allobrogicus, who subdued not only the Allo-
broges, but also the people of southern Gaul, which he
reduced into a Roman province, called from that time
Provincia. Quintus Fabius Maximus, a grandson of
fabius Maximus Servilianus, served in Spain under
J jIius Caesar, and was made consul A. U. C. 709. Two
of his sons or nephews were consuls in succes-
sion under Augustus. There was also a Fabius con-
sul under Tiberius. Panvinius and othera have reck-
oned that, during a period of about five centuries, from
the time of the first Fabius who is mentioned as con-
sul, to the reign of Tiberius, forty-eight consulships,
seven dictatorships, eight censorships, seven augur-
ahips, besides the offices of master of the horse and
military tribune with consular power, were filled by
individuals of the Fabian house. It could also boast
of thirteen tiiumphs and two ovations. (Augustimts

FALERNUS AQER.
FiiscL^, now Fiesoli, a town of Italy, in Etruria,
oulheast of Pistoria, whence it is said the augurs
passed to Rome. Catiline made it a place of arms,
ihe Goths, when they entered Italy under the consu-
late ofStdicboand Aurelian, AD. 400, were defeated
in its vicinity. (Cir. . pro Mur. , 24. --SU. Ltd. , 8,478.

hut the fourth part of his fortune to tho person whom
za named his heir. (Dio Cass. , 48, 33. )
Faleru, a town of Picenum, southwest of Firmum,
now Faliermi (Pirn. , 3, 13. )
Falerii (or ium), a city of Etruria, southwest of
Fescennium, and the capital of the ancient Falisci,
so well known from their connexion with the early his-
tory of Rome. Much uncertainty seems to have ex-
isted respecting the ancient site of this place; but it
is now well ascertained that it occupied the posi-
tion of the present Chita Castellana. Cluver, and
after him Holstcnius (ad Steph. Byz. , p. 67), have
satisfactorily established this point. The doubt seems
to have originated in the notion that there was a city
named Faliscum, as welt as Falerii. (Strabo, 226. )
The situation of the ancient Falerii is made to agree
with that of Civil a Castellana, from the language of
Plutarch (Vit. Camill. ) and Zonaras (Ann. , 2), who
both describe it as placed on a lofty summit; and the
latter states that the old town was destroyed, and a
new one built at the foot of the hill. This fact is con-
tinned by the identity of the new Falerii with the
church of St. Maria Falari, on the track of the Fla-
ramian way, where? the Itineraries place that city.
We learn, too, from Pliny (3, 5), that Falerii became
a colony under the name of Falisca, a circumstance
which sufficiently reconciles the apparent contradic-
tion in the accounts of this city. (Front. , de Col. , p.
130. ) Falerii, according to Dionysius of Halicarnas-
sos (1, 21), belonged at first to the Siculi; but these
were succeeded by the Pelasgi, to whom the Greek
form of its name is doubtless to be ascribed, as well
as the temple and riles of the Argive Juno, and other
indications of a Grecian origin which were observed
by that historian, and with which Ovid, who had mar-
ried a lady of this city, seems also to have been struck,
though he has followed the less authentic tradition,
which ascribed the foundation of Falerii to Halesus,
son of Agamemnon. (Am. , 3, 13. -- Fast. , 4, 73. )
The early wars of the Falisci with Rome are chiefly
detailed in the fifth book of Livy, where the celebra-
ted story of Camillus and the schoolmaster of Falerii
occurs. When the Roman commander was besie-
ging this place, the schoolmaster of the city (since the
higher classes of Falerii had a public one for the com-
mon education of their children) committed a most
disgraceful and treacherous act. Having led his schol-
ars forth, day after day, under pretence of taking ex-
ercise, and each time farther from the city walls, he
at last suddenly brought them within reach of the Ro-
nnn outposts, and surrendered them all to Camillus.
Indignant at the baseness of the deed, the Roman gen-
eral ordered his lictors to strip the delinquent, tie his
bands behind him, and supply the boys with rods and
scourges to punish the traitor, and whip him into the
city. This generous act on the part of Camillus pro-
duced so strong an impression on the minds of the in-
habitants, that they immediately sent ambassadors to
? ? treat of a surrender (Lis. 5,27. --Compare Vol.

gave her. Alexander ascended the throne after his
lather's death, and perished by the ambition of his
mother. Perdiccas, who succeeded him, shared his
fate; but Philip, who was the next in succession, se-
cured himself against all attempts from his mother,
and ascended tho throne wilh peace snd universal
satisfaction. Eurydice fled to Iphicratcs, the Athe-
nian general, for protection. The manner of her death

ter of Antipatcr, and the wife of Ptolemy I. of Egypt,
jy whom she had several children. After the death
of Alexander the Great, she proceeded to Alexandrea
for the purpoae of rejoining her husband, and she
brought with ber Berenice, her niece, who proved the
source of all her misfortunes. For Berenice inspired
Ptolemy with so strong a passion, that he took her as
his second wife, and allowed himself to be controlled
entirely bv her influence Eurydice and her children
retired to the court of Selcucus, king of Syria. One
of ber daughters subsequently married Agathocles, son
of Lysimachus; and another, Demetrius Poliorcetcs.
Ptolemy Ceraunus, the eldest of her sons, seized upon
the kingdom of Macedonia. Eurydice followed him
to that country, and contributed to conciliate towards
him the minds of the Macedonians, through the respect
which they entertained for the memory of her father
? Antipaler. Ptolemy Ceraunus having been slain, B. C.
290, in a battle against the Gauls, Macedonia was de-
livered up to the ravages of these barbarians, and Eu-
rydice fled for protection to the city of Cassandrca.
In order to attach the inhabitants more strongly to her
interests, she gave them their freedom; and they,
through gratitude, established a festival called after
ber Eurydice a. The rest of her history is not knowc.

She married Aridseus, the half-brother of Alexander,
and for some time, through the aid of Cassander, de-
fended Macedonia against Polysperchon and Olympias.
Having been forsaken, at length, by her own troops,
she fell into the hands of Olympias, together with her
husband. Both were put to death by that queen.

EusrbTus Pamphili, I. one of the most distinguished
among the earlier Christian writers, and the friend of
Constantine, was born in Palestine, probably at Cmsa-
rea, about 264 A. D. He pursued his studies at Anti-
och, and is believed to have received holy orders from
Agapius, bishop of C;rsarea. After having been or-
dained presbyter, he set up a school in his native city,
and formed an intimate acquaintance with Pamphilus,
bishop of Csesarca, who suffered martyrdom under
Galerius, A. D. 309, and in memory of whose friendship
he added to his name the term Pamphili, i. c , "(the
friend) of Pamphilus. " After the martyrdom of his
friend he removed to Tyre, and thence to Egypt, where
he himself was imprisoned. On hia return from
Egypt, he succeeded Agapius in the sei of Cssarea,
AJ[). 315. In common with many other biahops of
Palestine, he at first espoused the cause of Arius; but
at the council of Nice, in 325, where the Emperor Con-
namine assigned to Eusebius the office of opening the
session of the assembly, the opinions of the heresiarch
were condemned. He is said, however, to have raised
iome objections to the words " consubstantial with the
Father," as applied to the Son in the Nicene creed.
His intimacy with his namesake Eusebius, bishop of
Nicomedia, who openly espoused the cause of Arius,
led him also to favour the same, and to use his influ-
ence with the emperor for the purpose of reinstating
Arius in the church, in defiance of the opposition of
Athanasius. The party to which he attached himself
were called Eusebians, from their leader Eusebius of
Nicomedia, and they seem to have acted in a great
degree through hostility towards Athanasius ana his
supporters, as they did not, as yet, openly advocate the
objectionable tenets of Arius, who had himself appa-
rently submitted to the decrees of the council of Nice.
Eusebius afterward, in 330, assisted at the council of
Antioch, where the Arians triumphed, and he was pres-
ent at the council of Tyre in 335, and joined those
bishops who censured the proceedings of Athanasius,
the great champion of orthodoxy. Eusebius was de-
puted by this council to defend before Constantine the
judgment which they had passed against Athanasius;
and he appears to have used his influence with the em-
peror to have Athanasius banished. The part which
he look in this unfortunate controversy caused him to
be stigmatized as an Arian, though it appears that he
fully admitted the divinity of Christ; a'. :J all thru his

in sufficiently novel in its ntture to merit such notice.
An account of the Armenian version is also given by
Saint Martin (Journal des Savant, 1820, p. 106).
Tbe conclusion to which the last-mentioned writer ar-
rives, is as follows: that the great advantages ex-
pected to have been derived from the version to which
we are referring, must be graduated much lower than
lhey originally were; and yet, at the same time, that
ihis discovery is of sufficient importance to merit hon-
ourable mention, since it givea a great degree of cer-
tainty lo many particulars, of which we were before
put in possession relative to ancient history, and ren-
ders incontestable the authority of the Greek fragments
published by Scaliger. --Eusebius was also the author
of an Ecclesiastical History ('EKKknaiaOTiidi loropia),
in ten books, from the origin of Christianity down lo
A. D. 324, a year which immediately preceded the
triumph of the Catholic church over Arianism. This
work contains no express history of church dogmas.
The author proposed to himself a different object,
which he specifies in the first book. It was to make
known the succession of the apostles, and the individ-
uals who, placed a* the head of the different churches,
distinguished themselves by their firmness and apos-
tolic virtues, or who defended the word of God by their
writings; to make mention of the persons who had
endeavoured to propagate false doctrines; to describe
the misfortunes and sufferings that had befallen the
Jewish nation, as a punishment for their rejection of
the Saviour; as well as the persecutions to which the
faithful had been exposed, and the triumph procured
for Christianity by the Emperor Constantine. A sec-
ondary object which Eusebius bad in view, although
he does not expressly mention it, was to transmit to
posterity literary notices of those writers who had
treated before him of detached portions of the sacred
history. What he proposed to himself, however, was
leu to instruct and edify the faithful, than to place in
the bands of the Gentiles a work which might induce
them to renounce the errors of their religious systems
and the prejudices of education. One is tempted, at
least, to ascribe this intention to him, when we call to
mind that his work contains a number of things known
lo every Christian reader; such as, for example, all
that relates to the person of our Saviour, and the au-
thenticity of the sacred writings; and also when we
consider the skill he has displayed in placing in a
prominent point of view the claims of Christianity,
without, at the same time, making any direct attack on
he absurdities of paganism. As Eusebius makes no
mention of the troubles occasioned in the church by
the doctrines of Arianism, it has been concluded that
his history was not continued by him during the last
sixteen years of his life (for he lived until 340); but
that, being brought down by him to an epoch anterior
to the council of Nice, it was concluded in 324. In
support of this opinion it may be remarked, that Pan-
inus, tbe bishop, to whom he addresses himself at the
commencement of the tenth book, was dead in 325.
(Consult Haake. dc Byzantinarum rerum seriptoribus
liber. Lips. , 1677, 4-to, pt. I, c. \, t 222. ) In gen-
eral, Eusebius may be called a moderate, impartial,
and judicious writer. His history was translated into
Latin by Rufinuo, a priest of Aquileia, in the fourth cen-
tury: he has made, however, retrenchments as well as
additions, and has added a supplement in two books,
which extends to the death of Theodosius the Great.

the geographer. It must be confessed, however, that
in the former of these commentaries he is largely
indebted to the Deipnosophislae of Athcnasus, and
Schweighaeuser holds the following strong language
relative to the extent of these obligations (Prof, ad.

Rufinus, succeeded that minister in the confidence of

was created consul, a disgrace to Rome never before
equalled. An insult offered to the empress was the
cause of his overthrow; and he was sent into perpet-

Drought back on another charge; and, after being con-

Fabia Gens, a numerous and powerful patrician
jioe of ancient Rome, which became subdivided into
leveral families or branches, distinguished by their re-
spective cognomina, such as Fabii Maximi, Fabii Am-
busti, Fabii Vibulani, <5cc. Pliny says that the name
of Ibis bouse arose from the circumstance of its found-
en having excelled in the culture of the bean (faba),
the early Romans having been remarkable for their at-
tachment to agricultural pursuits. (P'm. , 18,3. ) Ac-
cording to Fcslua, however, the Fabii traced their ori-
gin to Hercules (Fest. , s. r. Fabii), and their name,
therefore, is thought to have come rather from the
Etrurian term Fains <rr Fabia, which Passeri makes
equivalent to "august" or "venerable. " (Tab. Eu-
cubin, vii , tin. 22. ) But this etymology is less prob-
able, since the Fabii are B<<-:d, by the ordinary author-
ities, to have been of Sab. nc origin, and to have set-
tled on the Quirinal from the time of the earliest Ro-
man kings. After the expulsion of the Tarquinii, the
Fabian, as one of the older houses, exercised consider-
able influence in the senate. Casso Fabius, being
quaestor with L. Valerius, impeached Spurius Cassius,
B C. 486. A. U. C. 268, and had him evecuted. It has
been noted as a remarkable fact, that, for seven consec-
utive years from that time, one of the two annual con-
sulships was filled by three brothers Fabii in rotation.
Niebuhr has particularly investigated this oeriod of
Roman history, and speculated on the causes of this
long retention of office by the Fabii, as connected with
the straggle then pending between the patricians and
plebeians, and the attempt of the former to monopolize
'be elections. (Rom. Hist, vol. 2, p. 174, scqq. )

pofunity of availing himself of any error or neglect on
the part of the Carthaginians. This mode of warfare,
which was new to the Romans, acquired for Fabius
the name of Cunetator or "delayer," and was cen-
sured by the yong, the rash, and the ignorant; but
* probably was the means of saving Koine from ruin.
Uinucius, who shared with Fabius the command of the
army, having imprudently engaged Hannibal, was
saved from total destruction by the timely assistance
tf tha dictator. In the following year, however,
A U. C. 636, Fabius being recalled to Rome, the com-
? and of the army was intrusted to the consul Tcren-
tus Varro, who rushed imprudently to battle, and the
defeat at Carina made manifest the wisdom of the dic-
tator's previous caution. Fabius was chosen consul
the next year, and was again employed in keeping
Hannibal in check. In A. U. C. 543, being consul for
the fifth time, he retook Tarentum by stratagem, after
which he narrowly escaped being caught himself in a
snare by Hannibal near Metapontum. (Lit. , 27, 15,
seq. ) When, some years after, the question was dis-
cussed in the senate, of sending Scipio with an army
into Africa, Fabius opposed it, saying that Italy ought
first to be rid of Hannibal. Fabius died some time
after at a very advanced age. His son, called likewise
Quintus Fabius Maximus, who had also been consul,
died before him. His grandson Quintus Fabius Max-
imus Servilianus, being proconsul, fought against Vir-
iathus in Spain, and concluded with him an honour-
able peace. (Livy, Epit? 54. ) He was afterward
consul repeatedly, and also censor. He wrote An-
nals, which are quoted by Macrobius. (Sal. , 1, 16. )
His brother by adoption, Quintus Fabius Maximus
yErmlianus, the son of Paulus jEmilius (Lie. , 45,41),
was consul A. U. C. 609, and was the father of Fabius,
called Allobrogicus, who subdued not only the Allo-
broges, but also the people of southern Gaul, which he
reduced into a Roman province, called from that time
Provincia. Quintus Fabius Maximus, a grandson of
fabius Maximus Servilianus, served in Spain under
J jIius Caesar, and was made consul A. U. C. 709. Two
of his sons or nephews were consuls in succes-
sion under Augustus. There was also a Fabius con-
sul under Tiberius. Panvinius and othera have reck-
oned that, during a period of about five centuries, from
the time of the first Fabius who is mentioned as con-
sul, to the reign of Tiberius, forty-eight consulships,
seven dictatorships, eight censorships, seven augur-
ahips, besides the offices of master of the horse and
military tribune with consular power, were filled by
individuals of the Fabian house. It could also boast
of thirteen tiiumphs and two ovations. (Augustimts

FALERNUS AQER.
FiiscL^, now Fiesoli, a town of Italy, in Etruria,
oulheast of Pistoria, whence it is said the augurs
passed to Rome. Catiline made it a place of arms,
ihe Goths, when they entered Italy under the consu-
late ofStdicboand Aurelian, AD. 400, were defeated
in its vicinity. (Cir. . pro Mur. , 24. --SU. Ltd. , 8,478.

za named his heir. (Dio Cass. , 48, 33. )
Faleru, a town of Picenum, southwest of Firmum,
now Faliermi (Pirn. , 3, 13. )
Falerii (or ium), a city of Etruria, southwest of
Fescennium, and the capital of the ancient Falisci,
so well known from their connexion with the early his-
tory of Rome. Much uncertainty seems to have ex-
isted respecting the ancient site of this place; but it
is now well ascertained that it occupied the posi-
tion of the present Chita Castellana. Cluver, and
after him Holstcnius (ad Steph. Byz. , p. 67), have
satisfactorily established this point. The doubt seems
to have originated in the notion that there was a city
named Faliscum, as welt as Falerii. (Strabo, 226. )
The situation of the ancient Falerii is made to agree
with that of Civil a Castellana, from the language of
Plutarch (Vit. Camill. ) and Zonaras (Ann. , 2), who
both describe it as placed on a lofty summit; and the
latter states that the old town was destroyed, and a
new one built at the foot of the hill. This fact is con-
tinned by the identity of the new Falerii with the
church of St. Maria Falari, on the track of the Fla-
ramian way, where? the Itineraries place that city.
We learn, too, from Pliny (3, 5), that Falerii became
a colony under the name of Falisca, a circumstance
which sufficiently reconciles the apparent contradic-
tion in the accounts of this city. (Front. , de Col. , p.
130. ) Falerii, according to Dionysius of Halicarnas-
sos (1, 21), belonged at first to the Siculi; but these
were succeeded by the Pelasgi, to whom the Greek
form of its name is doubtless to be ascribed, as well
as the temple and riles of the Argive Juno, and other
indications of a Grecian origin which were observed
by that historian, and with which Ovid, who had mar-
ried a lady of this city, seems also to have been struck,
though he has followed the less authentic tradition,
which ascribed the foundation of Falerii to Halesus,
son of Agamemnon. (Am. , 3, 13. -- Fast. , 4, 73. )
The early wars of the Falisci with Rome are chiefly
detailed in the fifth book of Livy, where the celebra-
ted story of Camillus and the schoolmaster of Falerii
occurs. When the Roman commander was besie-
ging this place, the schoolmaster of the city (since the
higher classes of Falerii had a public one for the com-
mon education of their children) committed a most
disgraceful and treacherous act. Having led his schol-
ars forth, day after day, under pretence of taking ex-
ercise, and each time farther from the city walls, he
at last suddenly brought them within reach of the Ro-
nnn outposts, and surrendered them all to Camillus.
Indignant at the baseness of the deed, the Roman gen-
eral ordered his lictors to strip the delinquent, tie his
bands behind him, and supply the boys with rods and
scourges to punish the traitor, and whip him into the
city. This generous act on the part of Camillus pro-
duced so strong an impression on the minds of the in-
habitants, that they immediately sent ambassadors to
? ? treat of a surrender (Lis. 5,27. --Compare Vol.
