Sthenius
of Thermae (Himerenses) in Sicily, was a friend of C. Marius, and was therefore accused before Cn. Pompey, when the latter was sent to Sicily by Sulla (Cic. Ver. 2.46; comp. Plut. Pomp. 10). The unjust proceedings of Verres against this Sthenius are related at length by Cicero. (Verr. 2.34-46, comp. 3.7, 5.42, 49.)
