Quintus Aurelius Symmachus
born 340 died 402, Ravenna Roman statesman, orator, and writer. A leading opponent of Christianity, he struggled with St. Ambrose to influence the increasingly Christian emperors Gratian (r. 367-383) and Valentinian II (r. 375-392) to tolerate paganism. As leader of the Senate in 387, he congratulated the new emperor, Magnus Maximus, on having driven out Valentinian. When Theodosius I reconquered Italy for Valentinian (388), Symmachus was forgiven and made consul (391)
Quintus Ennius
born 239, Rudiae, southern Italy died 169 BC Roman poet, dramatist, and satirist. The most influential of the early Latin poets, he is considered the founder of Roman literature. His epic Annales, a narrative poem telling the story of Rome from the wanderings of Aeneas to the poet's own day, was the national epic until it was eclipsed by Virgil's Aeneid. He excelled in tragedy, adapting 19 plays from the Greek, of which only about 420 lines survive
Quintus Fabius Maximus Cunctator
died 203 BC Roman commander and statesman. He served as consul in 233 BC (an office he would hold five times) and censor in 230. Elected dictator in 217, he used a strategy of harassment and attrition in the Second Punic War against Hannibal (218-201). These cautious delaying tactics (Cunctator means "delayer") allowed Rome to recover and take the offensive, but Roman impatience led to defeat at the Battle of Cannae. He unsuccessfully opposed the invasion of Africa by Scipio Africanus in 205
Quintus Mucius Scaevola
or Pontifex died 82 BC Roman lawgiver. He served successively as consul, as governor of the province of Asia, and from 89 as pontifex maximus. About 95 he obtained the passage of the lex Licinia Mucia, removing certain groups from the citizen rolls, which led to the Social War of 90-88. His major work was an 80-volume systematic treatise on civil law, which was frequently quoted and followed by subsequent writers. His handbook Horoi consisted of short rules of law and explanations of legal terms; it was the oldest work excerpted in Justinian I's Digest
Quintus Sertorius
born 126, Nursia, Sabini died 73 BC Roman statesman and military commander. He commanded an army in the Social War, and he helped Marius take Rome (87-86) in his struggle against Sulla. As praetor in 83 he was sent to Spain; he fled to Mauretania when Sulla pursued him but later overthrew Sulla's governor in Farther Spain and by 77 was ruler of most of Spain. When Pompey the Great and Metellus Pius finally arrived to put down the rebellion, he skillfully kept them at bay until the tide turned in his favour. When troop morale sank, he was murdered by a conspiracy of officers
Gaius Messius Quintus Trajanus Decius
born 201, Budalia, Pannonia Inferior died June 251, Abrittus, Moesia Roman emperor (249-251). Of uncertain origins, he served as senator, consul, and provincial military commander before taking the throne from Philip the Arabian. He resisted the Gothic invasion of Moesia and instituted the first organized persecution of Christians throughout the empire (250), which only served to strengthen the Christian cause. He ended the persecutions in 251, shortly before he was defeated and killed by the Goths
