subject date: 2017-04-01

caption: ANCIENT ROME "P. Aemilius urges his officers not to become arrogant by pointing out the prisoner King Perseus as an example." In 168 BC, Lucius Aemilius Paullus Macedonicus (229 BC - 160 BC), a Roman politician and soldier, took King Perseus of Macedon (213 BC - 166 BC) prisoner to Rome, having been definitively defeated in the Battle of Pydna. We owe to Livy the anecdote according to which, when the consul Paulus Aemilius asked the defeated king what had driven him to war, Perseus remained silent and weeping. Illustrated plate no. 22 from ''Roman History'' by Charles Rollin (January 30, 1661 – September 14, 1741), ''engraved in copperplate by the eminent Mr. Bartolomeo Pinelli Romano (November 20, 1781 – April 1, 1835), and engraved by Mr. Raffaele Persichini''. Rome, 1833.
