Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Marcus Aemilius Scaurus (born ca. 163 BC died 89 BC) was a Roman consul in 115 BC and considered one of the most talented and influential politicians of the Republic. Scaurus was born in a patrician family, although impoverished. In order to maintain the family lifestyle, his father became a coal-dealer. However, Scaurus himself declined any commercial activities (forbidden for senators) and embarked on a political life. Scaurus cursus honorum started when he became a military tribune in the Hispania provinces. Then he became curule aedile in charge of the public games, and afterwards praetor in 120 BC. In the same year he was nominated princeps senatus and confirmed by the Senate. He was elected consul in 115 BC with Marcus Caecilius Metellus as his junior colleague. During the run-up to the Jugurthine War the historian Sallust wrote of the extensive bribery of Jugurtha in his attempts to persuade the Senate not to intervene on his brother''s behalf.
