CINCINNATUS,[1] LUCIUS QUINCTIUS (b. c. 519 B.C.), one of the heroes of
early Rome, a model of old Roman virtue and simplicity. A persistent
opponent of the plebeians, he resisted the proposal of Terentilius Arsa
(or Harsa) to draw up a code of written laws applicable equally to
patricians and plebeians. He was in humble circumstances, and lived and
worked on his own small farm. The story that he became impoverished by
paying a fine incurred by his son Caeso is an attempt to explain the
needy position of so distinguished a man. Twice he was called from the
plough to the dictatorship of Rome in 458 and 439. In 458 he defeated
the Aequians in a single day, and after entering Rome in triumph with
large spoils returned to his farm. The story of his success, related
five times under five different years, possibly rests on an historical
basis, but the account given in Livy of the achievements of the Roman
army is obviously incredible.
See Livy iii. 26-29; Dion. Halic. x. 23-25; Florus i. 11. For a
critical examination of the story see Schwegler, _Roemische
Geschichte_, bk. xxviii. 12; Sir G. Cornewall Lewis, _Credibility of
early Roman History_, ch. xii. 40; W. Ihne, _History of Rome_, i.; E.
Pais, _Storia di Roma_, i. ch. 4 (1898).
