Let me expand slightly: Although this plebeian made history in mathematics, geometry presented him with considerable challenges.

BTW, Marcus Claudius Marcellus was a Patrician; tsk, tsk...

 

No. The Marcelli were plebeian. See HERE: they were the most illustrious of the plebeian branches of the Claudii.

You're totally right. My bad :yes: .

 

And I think Lady A got it right :angry: .

Aha! I think I've remembered - amazing what a good portion of cottage pie will do!

 

Is it Mithridates VI?

BOOM goes the dynamite!!

Mithradates VI was portrayed as wearing the lion-headed helmet or cowl of Hercules. Alexander the Great (Alexander III) believed himself to be a descendant of Heracles and Heracles reincarnated, therefore Mithradates VI saw himself as the reborn Alexander-Hercules. Statues of Mithradates VI would show hom as Hercules wearing ther lion-head helmet of Hercules too.

No to Pius; No to Lucius Verus.

 

Much, much, much earlier - Republican era.

 

ETA: I should add - to be fair - that this seems to be a 'representation' of the man in question, done at a much later date. However, whenever one Googles him or reads up on him on the Internet, this image is the one nearly always used.
