Author Description

Excerpt from Cornelius Nepos De Vita Excellentium Imperatorum II. Ibi brevi tempore barbarorum copus disjectis, tota regione, quam petierat, potitus, loca castellis idonea commu'nivit: multitudinem, quam secum duxerat, in agris collocavit, crebrisque excursionibus locupletavit. Neque minds in ca re prudentla quam felicitate adjutus est. Nam quum virtute militum hostium devicisset exercitus, summa aequitate res constituit, atque ipsc ibidem manere decrevit. Erat enim inter eos dignitate regia, quamvis carebat nomine; neque id magls 1mper10, quam justitia, consecutus. N eque eo seclus Athenien sibus, aquibus erat profectus, officia praastabat. Quibus rebus fiebat, ut non minus eorum voluntate perpetuo imperiuin obtineret, qui miserant, quam illorum, cum quibus erat profectus - Chersonesotali modo constituta, Lemnum revertitur, et ex pacto postulat, ut sibi urbem tradant. Illienim dixerant, qaum vento borea domo profectus eo pervenisset, sese dedituros; se autem dc mum, Chersonesi habere Cares, qui tum Lemnum incolebant, etsi prater epimonem res ceciderat, tamen non dicto, sed secunda fortuna adversariorum capti, resistere ausi non sunt, atqzue ex insula demigrarunt. Pari felicitate caeteras insulas, qua: Cyclades nominantur, sub Atheniensium redegit potestatem. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
