ATHEN. IV 66, p. 168 DE: Among the Romans, as Posidonius says in the forty-ninth book of his Histories, a certain Apicius is remembered as having surpassed all men in prodigality. This is the Apicius who was also responsible for the exile of Rutilius, the author who published a history of Rome in the Greek language.
