Athenaeus Mechanicus
Athenaeus Mechanicus is the author of a book on siegecraft, ''On Machines'' (). He is identified by modern scholars with Athenaeus of Seleucia, a member of the Peripatetic school active in the mid-to-late 1st century BC, at Rome and elsewhere.〔Serafina Cuomo, review of Gatto 2010, (Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2010.11.35 )〕〔Duncan B. Campbell, review of Whitehead and Blyth 2004, (Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.07.63 )〕
==Life==
Strabo mentions a contemporary of his, Athenaeus of Seleucia, a Peripatetic philosopher.〔Strabo (14.5.4 )〕 He was for some time the leading demagogue in his native city, but afterwards came to Rome and became acquainted with Lucius Licinius Varro Murena. On the discovery of the plot which the latter, with Fannius Caepio, had entered into against Augustus, Athenaeus accompanied him in his flight. He was retaken, but pardoned by Augustus, as there was no evidence of his having taken a more active part in the plot.〔William Smith, ''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', p. (400 ).〕 He is perhaps the same person as the writer mentioned by Diodorus, a historian who mentioned Semiramis.〔〔Diodorus Siculus, (2.20.3 )〕
