On the Nature of the Gods
Roman statesman/general from the war with Pyrrhus, cited as favored by divine help
and many other singular men besides, both our state and Greece has borne, of whom we must believe that none was such save by the help of god.
Tusculan Disputations
Roman statesman listed among exemplars of lasting fame.
But far more slowly will fame forsake Curius, Fabricius, Calatinus, the two Scipios, the two Africani, Maximus, Marcellus, Paulus, Cato, Laelius, and others past number;
Letters to Lucilius
Roman exemplar of austere severity, invoked as a standard inconstant men fail to find satisfying.
and now Curius is to them not severe enough, Fabricius not poor enough, Tubero not frugal enough nor content with cheap things;
De Pallio
Figure cited for notorious gambling.
I will give a cathartic to the impurity of Scaurus and the gaming of Curius and the wine-bibbing of Antonius.
