48 The Curia Hostilia was built by Tullus Hostilius, and was originally
the only place where a Senatus Consultum could be passed, though the
senate met at times in other places. But, under Caesar, the Curia
Julia, an immense edifice, had been built as the senate-house.

50 Archilochus was a native of Paros, and flourished about 714-676,
B.C. His poems were chiefly Iambics of bitter satire. Horace speaks
of him as the inventor of Iambics, and calls himself his pupil.

Parios ego primus Iambos
Ostendi Latio, numeros animosque secutus
Archilochi, non res et agentia verba Lycamben.

Epist. I. xix. 25.

And in another place he says--

Archilochum proprio rabies armavit Iambo.--A. P. 74.

51 This was Livius Andronicus: he is supposed to have been a native of
Tarentum, and he was made prisoner by the Romans, during their wars
in Southern Italy; owing to which he became the slave of M. Livius
Salinator. He wrote both comedies and tragedies, of which Cicero
(Brutus 18) speaks very contemptuously, as "Livianae fabulae non satis
dignae quae iterum legantur,"--not worth reading a second time. He also
wrote a Latin Odyssey, and some hymns, and died probably about B.C.
221.

52 C. Fabius, surnamed Pictor, painted the temple of Salus, which the
dictator C. Junius Brutus Bubulus dedicated B.C. 302. The temple was
destroyed by fire in the reign of Claudius. The painting is highly
praised by Dionysius, xvi. 6.
