Fabrications

Of this kind, Guy Fabrizius Luscinus ( Gaius Fabricius Luscinus ), first mentioned in 284 as an ambassador to Tarento cities, was especially famous. In 282, as a consul, he fought with the Samnites , Lucans and Bruttians , freed the city of Furia and took so rich booty that after covering all the expenses, the treasury received another 400 talents. He reached the city of Regia and left a garrison there to protect the Roman interests. In 280, he, as the legate of the consul , participated in the Battle of Herakleia and conducted negotiations with Pirr on the extradition of prisoners of war. Pyrrhus, according to legend, invited him to go to his service and offered him tremendous treasures, which the Roman refused. The doctor Pyrrhus, in turn, suggested that Fabrizius should poison the king, but Fabrizius did not use the betrayal, but told Pierre about it, adding: “You see, king, that you cannot distinguish friends from enemies”. Read the letter we sent and find out that you are leading the war with honest and fair people, and you trust the dishonest and worthless. We warn you not out of favor with you, but so that your death does not bring slander on us, so that the rumors don't go, as if we won the war with cunning, without being able to win with valor. "Having received the letter and having learned about the malicious intent, Pierre punished the doctor and Wishing to thank Fabrizius and the Romans, he released all prisoners without ransom, Kinea again sent to seek peace. The Romans considered it not proper for them to take prisoners from the enemy either as a sign of affection or as a reward for refraining from crime, and therefore without ransom, the captives were returned m and the Tarentinians, refusing, however, to begin negotiations on peace and alliance before Pyrrhus did not stop the war and did not sail with the army back to Epirus on the same ships on which he arrived. In 278 Fabrizius was again a consul, after Pyrr left Italy fought with Lukans, Bruttians, Tarentinians and Samnites, and at the end of the year won triumph . Fabrizius made an alliance with Heraclea. In 275, Fabrizius was a censor. the state gave a dowry to his daughters. As a sign of special distinction, he and his offspring were given the right to be buried in Rome itself.
