Quintus Aelius Tubero was a Stoic philosopher and a pupil of Panaetius of Rhodes. He had a reputation for talent and legal knowledge.〔Cic. Brut. 117〕〔Cic. pro Muren. 75〕〔Tac. Ann. xvi. 22〕〔Gell. i. 22〕 He was a tribunate in 130 BC. He also possibly became a suffect consul in 118 BC.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, page 1179 (v. 3) )〕 Cicero spoke of his character in parallel to his oratorical style: " harsh, unpolished, and austere."〔Cicero. Brutus, 117〕 Despite this, Cicero also calls him "a man of the most rigid virtue, and strictly conformable to the doctrine he professed."〔Cicero. Brutus, 117〕 He was the grandson of Lucius Aemilius Paullus Macedonicus,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cicero: Brutus - translation (2) )〕 Thus, he was both the brother-in-law of Cato the Younger, and also the nephew of Scipio Aemilianus. This association, alongside the approval of Panaetius, gave him access to the Scipionic Circle. When Scipio Aemilianus died mysteriously in 129 BC, Tubero was responsible for the funeral arrangements. With Cynic-like aesthetics, he arragned Punic couches with goatskin covers and Samian pottery. The lack of public grandeur, allegedly, lost him the election for praetorship.〔Cic. pro Muren. 75〕 Panaetius wrote an epistle to Tubero concerning endurance of pain.〔Cicero, De Finibus, iv. 9, 23〕 A scholar of Panaetius dedicated a treatise called ''De Officiis'' to Tubero.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, page 1179 (v. 3) )〕 ==References== 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「Quintus Aelius Tubero (Stoic)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
