The Battle of Adrianople was fought on August the 9th 378. Re: How many Roman military dates do you know? - recondicom - 06-16-2009 Dates are misleading. Ever noticed that Octo(8); Novi (9); and Dec (10) are really 10, 11, and 12. Why?; Noticed them: the month of July (Julius) and August (Augustus) (smack in the middle). Vale. Re: - Ensifer - 03-11-2010 Quote:Felix:ax3hm4e5 Wrote:Absolutely. Socrates was at Delium, and distinguished himself during the collapse of the Athenian line. As the story goes, while everyone around him was panicking and running, he retreated slowly and deliberately, facing the enemy. He was intimidating enough that he wsa able to collect a small group around him and bring them off the field intact - the enemy steered clear of them. In Plato's Symposium, almost certainly one of Plutarch's sources, Alcibiades himself actually discusses these incidents in the speech he gives in praise of Socrates. Quote:On the expedition to Potidaea . . . we messed together, and I had the opportunity of observing his extraordinary power of sustaining fatigue. His endurance was simply marvellous when, being cut off from our supplies, we were compelled to go without food—on such occasions, which often happen in time of war, he was superior not only to me but to everybody; there was no one to be compared to him. . . . His fortitude in enduring cold was also surprising. There was a severe frost, for the winter in that region is really tremendous, and everybody else either remained indoors, or if they went out had on an amazing quantity of clothes, and were well shod, and had their feet swathed in felt and fleeces: in the midst of this, Socrates with his bare feet on the ice and in his ordinary dress marched better than the other soldiers who had shoes, and they looked daggers at him because he seemed to despise them. . . . I will also tell, if you please—and indeed I am bound to tell—of his courage in battle; for who but he saved my life? Now this was the engagement in which I received the prize of valour: for I was wounded and he would not leave me, but he rescued me and my arms; and he ought to have received the prize of valour which the generals wanted to confer on me partly on account of my rank, and I told them so, (this, again, Socrates will not impeach or deny), but he was more eager than the generals that I and not he should have the prize. Of course, whether or not Alcibiades ever gave such a speech and whether or not any its material about Socrates is true is an open question. Throughout the speech Alcibiades speaks of Socrates as almost super human. Still, it is a fascinating speech to read and a fitting end to the Symposium.
