Note 111 — NOTES TERMINAL

Reading edition

Mr. Savage has just given me a note: “The Roman writers use ‘Adolescens’ and ‘Juvenis’ promiscuously. So Alexander is called Adolescens when he died at thirty-two; Cæsar that year when he was High Priest, and thirty-five at least (Livy?); and Brutus and Cassius in their Praetorship when they were forty (Sallust?).”

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
