Did he ever travel to Egypt? [/QUOTE][i]When the senate called a meeting to consider the matter, Scipio Nasica advised receiving the Carthaginian embassy and making a truce with them, but Marcus Cato declared that no truce ought to be made nor the declaration of war rescinded. Nevertheless, the senators listened to the entreaties of the envoys, promised to grant them a truce, and demanded hostages for the fulfilment of the conditions. These hostages were sent to Sicily, and Lucius Marcius and Marcus Manilius went there, took charge of them, and sent them on to Rome, while they themselves made haste to reach Africa. After encamping they summoned the magistrates of Carthage to appear before them. Casssius Dio Book XXI [/i] [/QUOTE]Oh my gosh, who tossed the timeline out the window? Internal evidence noted by Goold places our Manilius in an Augustan/Tiberian time cusp. This other Manilius guy is some two centuries earlier when Carthage still existed and was a challenge to Rome. Ya see what GOOGLE scholarship does? It causes (ouch) LyinAssFuckuptions. You just can't scissors and paste your way to valid knowledge. You have to (l)earn it toiling in study. [/QB][/QUOTE]
