Eumenius ( born c. 260 at the latest, more probably between 230 and 240 ), was one of the Roman panegyrists and author of a speech transmitted in the collection of the Panegyrici Latini ( Pan.

The oration of Eumenius, in which he pleaded for the restoration of the schools of his native place Augustodunum, shows that the district was neglected.

Eumenius mentions Constantius as having " killed, expelled, captured, kidnapped " the Franks that had settled there and other that had crossed the Rhine, using the term nationes Franciae for the first time.

Eumenius was born in Gallia Lugdunensis at Augustodunum ( Autun ), the civitas capital of the Celtic Aedui.

The most extreme position was that by Otto Seeck, who held that all of them were by Eumenius.

The Latin word Picti first occurs in a panegyric written by Eumenius in AD 297 and is taken to mean " painted or tattooed people " ( from Latin pingere " to paint ",; pictus, " painted ", cf.

Eumenius had not converted even nominally to Christianity, unlike Ausonius and other writers from Gaul.

The purpose of the speech is to ask the governor if Eumenius may dedicate his salary ( or a large part of it ) to rebuild the schools at Autun.

These Panegyrici are often attributed to Eumenius, magister memoriae ( private secretary ) to Constantius, resulting in the compromise name of pseudo-Eumenius.

Eumenius, the panegyrist of Constantine Chlorus, wrote that both the Picts and Caledonians were red haired ( rutilantia ).

The emperor appointed Eumenius to the management of the schools, allowing him to keep the rank of a senior imperial officer and doubling his salary.

Formerly, other anonymous panegyrics of the Panegyrici Latini have been attributed to Eumenius, too.

This view has been largely abandoned today, and Eumenius is regarded as the author of only Pro instaurandis scholis.

Sturley's allusion probably explains why Greville took out the patent in the names of Best and Wells, for Sir Anthony Ashley described Best as `` a scrivener within Temple Bar, that deals in many matters for my L. Essex '' through Sir Gelly Merrick, especially in `` causes that he would not be known of ''.

But he didn't play golf, didn't seem to belong to any local clubs -- his work took him away a lot, of course -- which probably accounted for his tendency to keep to himself.

The early policy of Ambracia was determined by its loyalty to Corinth ( for which it probably served as an entrepot in the Epirus trade ), its consequent aversion to Corcyra ( as Ambracia participated on the Corinthian side at the Battle of Sybota, which took place in 433 BC between the rebellious corinthian colony of Corcyra ( modern Corfu ) and Corinth ).

As they had left their tribal homes behind, they probably took over all the former Celtic cantons along the Danube.

Two aspects of this attitude deserve to be mentioned: 1 ) he did not only study science from books, as other academics did in his day, but actually observed and experimented with nature ( the rumours starting by those who did not understand this are probably at the source of Albert's supposed connections with alchemy and witchcraft ), 2 ) he took from Aristotle the view that scientific method had to be appropriate to the objects of the scientific discipline at hand ( in discussions with Roger Bacon, who, like many 20th century academics, thought that all science should be based on mathematics ).

His older brother, Antimenidas, appears to have served as a mercenary in the army of Nebuchadnezzar II and probably took part in the conquest of Judaea and the destruction of Jerusalem in 587 BC.

In Europe a similar liquid process in open-topped crucibles took place which was probably less efficient than the Roman process and the use of the term tutty by Albertus Magnus in the 13th century suggests influence from Islamic technology.

Suetonius took a stand at an unidentified location, probably in the West Midlands somewhere along the Roman road now known as Watling Street, in a defile with a wood behind him — but his men were heavily outnumbered.

In 1927, when Williams moved to OKeh Records, he took Jefferson with him, and OKeh quickly recorded and released Jefferson's " Matchbox Blues " backed with " Black Snake Moan ," which was to be his only OKeh recording, probably because of contractual obligations with Paramount.

By then they had probably developed a taste for Madeira wine, and on 29 September near Cape Charles all they took from the Betty of Virginia was her cargo of Madeira, before they scuttled her with the remaining cargo.

As the neighbouring " city " is not mentioned in any other context than during the Danish attack as a place where people took refuge, it probably meant a near-by fortress.

He married Bertha, the Christian daughter of Charibert, king of the Franks, thus building an alliance with the most powerful state in contemporary Western Europe ; the marriage probably took place before Æthelberht came to the throne.

El Cid had probably commanded a large Moorish force during the Battle of Sagrajas, which took place in 1086, near the Taifa of Badajoz.

Bastiat had contracted tuberculosis, probably during his tours throughout France to promote his ideas, and that illness eventually prevented him from making further speeches ( particularly at the legislative assembly to which he was elected in 1848 and 1849 ) and took his life.

The first seaborne raids took place in three subsequent years, probably 255-257.

The decisive battle probably took place near Thebes and the result was a clear defeat of Aemilianus.

He took the second and third degrees of Freemasonry within the next month, but this enthusiasm seems also to have waned and he resigned the next year, probably because he intended to leave Ceylon.

In 1926 he was placed in charge of monitoring shops selling opium, noting regular irregularities and a thriving illegal trade in the controlled substance ; believing opium to be essentially harmless, there is evidence indicating that Gardner probably took many bribes in this position, earning himself a small fortune.

Hippocrates was probably trained at the asklepieion of Kos, and took lessons from the Thracian physician Herodicus of Selymbria.

In Parzival, Wolfram von Eschenbach, citing the authority of a certain ( probably fictional ) Kyot the Provençal, claimed the Grail was a stone ( called lapis exillis ) that fell from Heaven, and had been the sanctuary of the neutral angels who took neither side during Lucifer's rebellion.

Ibn Battuta left again for Baghdad, probably in July, but first took an excursion northwards along the river Tigris, visiting Mosul, Cizre and Mardin, in modern day Iraq and Turkey.

Because his task was to construct the wilful choices of his Punch editors, who probably took their cue from The Times and would have felt the suggestions of political tensions from Parliament as well, Tenniel ’ s work, as was its design, could be scathing in effect.

He was probably won over to Calvinism during a visit to Heidelberg in 1606, but it was not until 1613 that he publicly took communion according to the Calvinist rite.

The pair probably took refuge with Chlothar, hoping that the Frankish king would intervene and restore them to their sees, and by 617 Justus had been reinstalled in his bishopric by the new king.

The earliest use of the place name was in 1248 ( in the form Arowe ), and probably referred to the settlement in the area before the founding of the city.

Skeat “… in at least three cases and probably in all, in the form of codices " and he theorized that this form of notebook was invented in Rome and then “… must have spread rapidly to the Near East …” In his discussion of one of the earliest pagan parchment codices to survive from Oxyrhynchus in Egypt, Eric Turner seems to challenge Skeat ’ s notion when stating “… its mere existence is evidence that this book form had a prehistory ” and that “ early experiments with this book form may well have taken place outside of Egypt .” Early codices of parchment or papyrus appear to have been widely used as personal notebooks, for instance in recording copies of letters sent ( Cicero Fam.

One might note, however, that what is assumed to be a niche for the Torah scroll in the building probably originally built as a Judeo-Christian synagogue between AD 70 and AD 135 on the traditional site of the Cenacle or upper room of the Last Supper and now identified as the site of the King David's Tomb is oriented not towards the Temple Mount, but towards the site of the Holy Sepulchre, which would seem to indicate that the Christian community that had built it had already began to transfer many of the religious traditions originally associated with the Temple to the sites they associated with Christ's death and resurrection ( such as the burial place of Adam and the centre of the world ).

Prior, whose authority is great in the origin of popular names, says " It seems probably that the name was in the first place, foxes ' glew, or music, in reference to the favourite instrument of an earlier time, a ring of bells hung on an arched support, the tintinnabulum "... we cannot quite agree with Dr.

There is evidence that Christians were then in Rome in considerable numbers and probably had more than one place of meeting.

Crick had failed to gain a place at a Cambridge college, probably through failing their requirement for Latin.

Many rare species of bird have been found on the island, and it is probably the best place in western Europe to see skulking Siberian passerines such as Pechora Pipit, Lanceolated Warbler and Pallas's Grasshopper Warbler.

If only because there was a much smaller number of skilled artists, the quantity of icons, in the sense of panel paintings, was much smaller in the West, and in most Western settings a single diptych as an altarpiece, or in a domestic room, probably stood in place of the larger collections typical of Orthodox " icon corners ".

John married Isabella whilst she was relatively young – her exact date of birth is uncertain, and estimates place her between at most 15 and more probably towards nine years old at the time of her marriage.
