Numisius
3. T. Numisius, of Tarquinii, was one of the ten commissioners sent into Macedonia in B. C. 167, to regulate its affairs after its conquest by Aemilius Paullus (Liv. 45.17). About the same time, or a little earlier, he was at the head of the embassy sent by the Roman senate to endeavour to mediate between Antiochus Epiphanes and the two Ptolemies (Philometorand Physcon). (Plb. 29.10.)
