The Palace and Park by Phillips, Forbes, Latham, Owen, Scharf, and Shenton

[Born at Apameia in Syria, about 135 years B.C. Died, probably at Rome, about 51 B.C.] A writer on History, Astronomy, Astrology, Cosmography, and Grammar, but none of his works remain; a great scholar and traveller. A Stoic in philosophy, yet desirous of bringing all systems of philosophy into harmony. He suffered much from illness. Pompey visited him during a sharp attack of gout, but during his agony he sustained an argument with the orator Hermagoras to prove that pain is no evil. “Torment me if you will, oh Pain!” he exclaimed, “I shall not admit pain to be an evil, a bit the more for that.” [For account of this statue, see Handbook to Roman Court and Nave, No. 307.] ROMAN COURT.
