Plut. Mor., Apophthegms of Kings 79 — The Apopthegms or Remarkable Sayings of Kings and Great Commanders, Plutarch; served verbatim

PUBLIUS LICINIUS. Publius Licinius, consul and general, being worsted in a horse engagement by Perseus king of Macedon, with what were slain and what were took prisoners, lost two thousand eight hundred men. Presently after the fight, Perseus sent ambassadors to make peace and league with him; and although he was overcome, yet he advised the conqueror to submit himself and his affairs to the pleasure of the Romans.
