three grand divisions of the ancient globe. Libya, properly speaking,
is only a part of Africa, bounded on the east by Egypt, and on the
west by that part called by the moderns the kingdom of Tripoli. The
ancients, according to some traditions mentioned by Herodotus and
others, sailed round Africa, by steering westward from the Red sea,
and entered the Mediterranean by the columns of Hercules, after a
perilous navigation of three years. From the word Libya, are derived
the epithets of _Libys_, _Libyssa_, _Libysis_, _Libystis_, _Libycus_,
_Libysticus_, _Libystinus_, _Libystæus_. _Virgil_, _Æneid_, bk. 4,

=Licĭnia lex=, was enacted by Lucius Licinius Crassus and Quintus
Mutius, consuls, A.U.C. 659. It ordered all the inhabitants of Italy
to be enrolled on the list of citizens in their respective cities.
――――Another, by Caius Licinius Crassus the tribune, A.U.C. 608. It
transferred the right of choosing priests from the college to the
people. It was proposed, but did not pass.――――Another, by Caius
Licinius Stolo the tribune. It forbade any person to possess 500
acres of land, or keep more than 100 head of large cattle, or 500 of
small.――――Another, by Publius Licinius Varus, A.U.C. 545, to settle
the day for the celebration of the _Ludi Apollinares_, which was
before uncertain.――――Another, by Publius Licinius Crassus Dives,
B.C. 110. It was the same as the Fannian law, and further required
that no more than 30 _asses_ should be spent at any table on the
Calends, nones, or nundinæ, and only three pounds of fresh and one
of salt meat, on ordinary days. None of the fruits of the earth
were forbidden.――――Another, _de sodalitiis_, by Marcus Licinius the
consul, 692. It imposed a severe penalty on party clubs, or societies
assembled or frequented for election purposes, as coming under the
definition of _ambitus_, and of offering violence in some degree to
the freedom and independence of the people.――――Another, called also
_Æbutia_, by Licinius and Æbutius the tribunes. It enacted, that when
any law was proffered with respect to any office or power, the person
who proposed the bill, as well as his colleagues in office, his
friends and relations, should be declared incapable of being invested
with the said office or power.

Proculeius, and bore also the name of Terentia. _Horace_, bk. 2,
ode 12, li. 13.
=Caius Licĭnius=, a tribune of the people, celebrated for the
consequence of his family, for his intrigues and abilities. He was a
plebeian, and was the first of that body who was raised to the office
of a master of horse to the dictator. He was surnamed _Stolo_, or
_useless sprout_, on account of the law which he had enacted during
his tribuneship. _See:_ Licinia lex, by Stolo. He afterwards made a
law which permitted the plebeians to share the consular dignity with
the patricians, A.U.C. 388. He reaped the benefit of this law, and
was one of the first plebeian consuls. This law was proposed and
passed by Licinius, as it is reported, at the instigation of his
ambitious wife, who was jealous of her sister, who had married a
patrician, and who seemed to be of a higher dignity in being the wife
of a consul. _Livy_, bk. 6, ch. 34.――_Plutarch._――――Caius Calvus,
a celebrated orator and poet in the age of Cicero. He distinguished
himself by his eloquence in the forum, and his poetry, which some
of the ancients have compared to Catullus. His orations are greatly
commended by Quintilian. Some believe that he wrote annals quoted
by Dionysius of Halicarnassus. He died in the 30th year of his age.
_Quintilian._――_Cicero_, _Brutus_, ch. 81.――――Macer, a Roman accused
by Cicero when pretor. He derided the power of his accuser, but when

&c.――――Lucullus. _See:_ Lucullus.――――Crassus. _See:_ Crassus.
――――Mucianus, a Roman who wrote about the history and geography of
the eastern countries, often quoted by Pliny. He lived in the reign
of Vespasian.――――Publius Tegula, a comic poet of Rome about 200
years before Christ. He is ranked as the fourth of the best comic
poets which Rome produced. Few lines of his compositions are extant.
He wrote an ode, which was sung all over the city of Rome by nine
virgins during the Macedonian war. _Livy_, bk. 31, ch. 12.――――Varro
Muræna, a brother of Proculeius, who conspired against Augustus with
Fannius Cæpio, and suffered for his crime. Horace addressed his bk. 2,
ode 10 to him, and recommended equanimity in every situation. _Dio
Cassius_, bk. 54.――――Caius Flavius Valerianus, a celebrated Roman
emperor. His father was a poor peasant of Dalmatia, and himself a
common soldier in the Roman armies. His valour recommended him to
the notice of Galerius Maximianus, who had once shared with him the
inferior and subordinate offices of the army, and had lately been
invested with the imperial purple by Diocletian. Galerius loved him
for his friendly services, particularly during the Persian war, and
he showed his regard for his merit by taking him as a colleague in
the empire, and appointing him over the province of Pannonia and
Rhœtia. Constantine, who was also one of the emperors, courted the
favour of Licinius, and made his intimacy more durable by giving him
his sister Constantia in marriage, A. D. 313. The continual successes
of Licinius, particularly against Maximinus, increased his pride,
and rendered him jealous of the greatness of his brother-in-law. The
persecutions of the christians, whose doctrines Constantine followed,
soon caused a rupture, and Licinius had the mortification to lose two
battles, one in Pannonia, and the other near Adrianopolis. Treaties
of peace were made between the contending powers, but the restless
ambition of Licinius soon broke them; and after many engagements
a decisive battle was fought near Chalcedonia. Ill fortune again
attended Licinius, who was conquered, and fled to Nicomedia, where
soon the conqueror obliged him to surrender, and to resign the
imperial purple. The tears of Constantia obtained forgiveness for
her husband, yet Constantine knew what a turbulent and active enemy
had fallen into his hands therefore he ordered him to be strangled
at Thessalonica, A.D. 324. His family was involved in his ruin. The
avarice, licentiousness, and cruelty of Licinius are as conspicuous
as his misfortunes. He was an enemy to learning, and this aversion
totally proceeded from his ignorance of letters, and the rusticity
of his education. His son by Constantia bore also the same name.
He was honoured with the title of Cæsar when scarce 20 months old.
He was involved in his father’s ruin, and put to death by order of
Constantine.
=Licīnus=, a barber and freedman of Augustus, raised by his master to
the rank and dignity of a senator, merely because he hated Pompey’s
family. _Horace_, _Art of Poetry_, li. 301.
=Licymnius=, a son of Electryon and brother of Alcmena. He was so
infirm in his old age, that when he walked, he was always supported
by a slave. Triptolemus son of Hercules, seeing the slave inattentive
to his duty, threw a stick at him, which unfortunately killed
Licymnius. The murderer fled to Rhodes. _Apollodorus_, bk. 2, ch. 7.

pardoned. He became afterwards one of Cæsar’s murderers. _Cicero_,

Po. The commercial town of Genoa was anciently and is now the capital
of the country. The origin of the inhabitants is not known, though
in their character they are represented as vain, unpolished, and
addicted to falsehood. According to some they were descended from the
ancient Gauls and Germans, or, as others support, they were of Greek
origin, perhaps the posterity of the Ligyes mentioned by Herodotus.
Liguria was subdued by the Romans, and its chief harbour now bears

name near the Ægates, now _Marsalla_. The town was strong and very
considerable, and it maintained long sieges against the Carthaginians,
Romans, &c., particularly one of 10 years against Rome in the first
Punic war. It had a port large and capacious, which the Romans, in
the wars with Carthage, endeavoured in vain to stop and fill up with
stones, on account of its convenience and vicinity to the coast of
Africa. Nothing now remains of this once powerful city but the ruins
of temples and aqueducts. _Virgil_, _Æneid_, bk. 3, li. 706.――_Mela_,

=Linus.= This name is common to different persons whose history is
confused, and who are often taken one for the other. One was son of
Urania and Amphimarus the son of Neptune. Another was son of Apollo
by Psammathe, daughter of Crotopus king of Argos. Martial mentions
him in his ltr. 78, bk. 9. The third, son of Ismenius, and born at
Thebes in Bœotia, taught music to Hercules, who in a fit of anger
struck him on the head with his lyre and killed him. He was son of
Mercury and Urania, according to Diogenes, who mentions some of his
philosophical compositions, in which he asserted that the world had
been created in an instant. He was killed by Apollo for presuming to
compare himself to him. Apollodorus, however, and Pausanius mention
that his ridicule of Hercules on his awkwardness in holding the lyre
was fatal to him. _Apollodorus_, bk. 2, ch. 4.――_Diogenes Laërtius_,

to Diodorus, it received from Liparus the son of Auson, king of these
islands, whose daughter Cyane was married by his successor Æolus,
according to Pliny. The inhabitants of this island were powerful by
sea, and from the great tributes which they paid to Dionysius the
tyrant of Syracuse, they may be called very opulent. The island was
celebrated for the variety of its fruits, and its raisins are still
in general repute. It had some convenient harbours, and a fountain
whose waters were much frequented on account of their medicinal
powers. According to Diodorus, Æolus reigned at Lipara before Liparus.

=Līvia Drusilla=, a celebrated Roman lady, daughter of Lucius Drusus
Calidianus. She married Tiberius Claudius Nero, by whom she had the
emperor Tiberius and Drusus Germanicus. The attachment of her husband
to the cause of Antony was the beginning of her greatness. Augustus
saw her as she fled from the danger which threatened her husband, and
he resolved to marry her, though she was then pregnant. He divorced
his wife Scribonia, and with the approbation of the augurs, he
celebrated his nuptials with Livia. She now took advantage of the
passion of Augustus, in the share that she enjoyed of his power
and imperial dignity. Her children by Drusus were adopted by the
complying emperor; and, that she might make the succession of her
son Tiberius more easy and undisputed, Livia is accused of secretly
involving in one common ruin the heirs and nearest relations of
Augustus. Her cruelty and ingratitude are still more strongly marked,
when she is charged with having murdered her own husband to hasten
the elevation of Tiberius. If she was anxious for the aggrandizement
of her son, Tiberius proved ungrateful, and hated a woman to whom
he owed his life, his elevation, and his greatness. Livia died
in the 86th year of her age, A.D. 29. Tiberius showed himself as
undutiful after her death as before, for he neglected her funeral,
and expressly commanded that no honours, either private or public,
should be paid to her memory. _Tacitus_, _Annals_, bk. 1, ch. 3.
