The Rights of War and Peace
Late-antique writer cited for describing the simplicity of primitive humanity.
In primitive times there appeared among mankind, according to Macrobius, a simplicity, ignorant of evil, and inexperienced in craft:
On this subject there are many fine thoughts in Plotinus, Olympiodorus, and Macrobius on the dream of Scipio.
On Fate
Author of the Saturnalia, whose work preserves the fragment about Scipio, Pontius, and the sturgeon from Cicero's On Fate.
And, that a poet may not be too cheap a witness, take Cicero as your authority for the honor in which this fish was held in the eyes of Publius Scipio Africanus, the famous conqueror of Numantia.
