Audax, Ditalcus and Minurus were the supposed assassins of the Lusitanian leader Viriathus. In 139 BC, after a long war against the Romans, Viriathus was killed in his sleep by Audax (Latin meaning audacious), Ditalcus and Minurus (Latin meaning diminish), who had been sent as emissaries to the Romans and had been bribed by Marcus Popillius Lenas. The Roman general Servilius Cipianus had them executed, declaring "Rome does not pay traitors". According to Appian, Servilius Cipianus had paid them and sent them to Rome to collect the rest of the promised payment. Diodorus says the third killer (Minurus) is called Nicorontes, while Appian calls him Minouros. Another account by Sextus Aurelius Victor says that Caepio paid two royal guards ("satellites") to kill Viriathus.〔(Eutropii historiae Romanae breviarium: )〕 ==See also== *Lusitanian War *Portugal *History of Portugal *Timeline of Portuguese history *Hispania *Roman Empire 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Audax, Ditalcus and Minurus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
