Scaurus, Aemilius
4. Aemilius Scaurus, the younger son of No. 2, fought under the proconsul, Q. Catulus, against the Cimbri at the Athesis, and having fled from the field, was indignantly commanded by his father not to come into his presence; whereupon the youth put an end to his life. (V. Max. 5.8.4; Frontin. Strat. iv. ]. § 3.)
