Lucius Aemilius Paullus, largely responsible for the inclusion of Greece in the growing empire of the Republic, was one of the crucial figures in Rome's conquest of the Mediterranean. Consul in 182 and 168 BC, he devoted much of the intervening period to securing Greece for Rome, and is said to have taken the opportunity also to visit Greece as a tourist to admire its artistic treasures. He is most often presented as a man of pristine virtue and philhellenic persuasion, but this image has clouded his personality and the events in which he was involved. The aim of this study is to build up an accurate picture of the soldier and politician by scrutiny of the main sources - Livy, Plutarch and Polybius (the last of whom worked under the direct patronage of Paullus). Every aspect of Polybius' complex portrayal of his patron is examined with special emphasis given to the Polybian concepts of the statesman and the conqueror, and how Paullus complements these notions. In the case of Livy, Paullus is seen as a man schooled in the mos maiorum. The entire last extant pentad is analyzed using Livy's dramatic construct of a patrician-plebian confrontation as a basis; Livy's Paullus is molded to this motif. Finally, Plutarch's 'Life of Paullus' is viewed as an effort to use the image of Paullus for didactic purposes. History has little meaning for Plutarch, and the moralist's Paullus is the epitome of right and proper virtue. Dr. Reiter shows how each writer moulds a Paullus according to his own preconceptions, and suggests that there may be little more than a competent general and politician to be found in this much admired character. - Contents: Introduction; Polybius and the Image (Background; Polybius and Paullus; Polybius, the House of Macedon, and Paullus); Livy and the Image (Livy, Paullus and the Third Macedonian War; Livy and Roman Foreign Policies); Plutarch and the Image; Another Look (Early Years; Policies of Imperium).…

Untorn dust jacket in a fitted mylar cover, taped to the boards by the library. -- This work is a critical historiographical study of the figure of Lucius Aemilius Paullus. It moves beyond traditional biography to deconstruct the heroic image of Paullus by meticulously scrutinizing the three main ancient sources: Livy, Plutarch, and Polybius. The author argues that each writer molded a different version of Paullus to fit their own preconceptions and purposes - Polybius shaping him to fit his concepts of the ideal statesman, Livy using him as a character in a dramatic patrician-plebeian narrative, and Plutarch employing him for didactic, moralistic ends. The book challenges the traditional "philhellenic hero" narrative, suggesting that the historical Paullus may have been a far more conventional Roman general and politician than his constructed image suggests. -- Lucius Aemilius Paullus (c. 229 - 160 BC) was a towering figure of the Roman Republic at the height of its imperial expansion. A two-time consul and celebrated general, his career culminated in one of the most decisive battles of the ancient world. In 168 BC, at the Battle of Pydna, Paullus shattered the Macedonian phalanx, captured King Perseus, and effectively ended the centuries-old kingdom of Alexander the Great's successors. This single victory brought Greece under Roman dominion and secured Rome's mastery over the Mediterranean. His return was marked by one of the most magnificent triumphs ever seen in the city, parading the immense treasures of the Macedonian royal court. Yet, Paullus remains a complex and debated figure. Was he the virtuous, philhellenic statesman portrayed by some ancient writers, a man who admired Greek culture even as he conquered it? Or was he a ruthless and conventional Roman aristocrat, a product of a brutal system of expansion, whose heroic image was a later invention? His story is a fascinating window into the ambition, power, and moral contradictions of the Roman elite as they forged an empire. --- Contents: Introduction; Polybius and the Image (Background; Polybius and Paullus; Polybius, the House of Macedon, and Paullus); Livy and the Image (Livy, Paullus and the Third Macedonian War; Livy and Roman Foreign Policies); Plutarch and the Image; Another Look (Early Years; Policies of Imperium); Bibliography; Index. …
