Tusculan Disputations
Roman commander who died at Litana fighting for Rome.
Spain would not have seen the Scipios falling for their country in a single war, nor Cannae Paulus and Geminus, Venusia Marcellus, Litana Albinus, Lucania Gracchus.
Caius Marius
Roman general of illustrious family who failed in Africa, named by Marius to disparage the nobility.
Often, too, he would mention by name the generals in Africa who had been unsuccessful, now Bestia, and now Albinus, men of illustrious houses indeed, but unfortunate themselves, and unwarlike, who had met with disaster through lack of experience;

Platonist commentator who defends Plato's doctrine of the soul's transmigration.

divine, Albinus thinks it, of the Egyptian Mercury perhaps.
