<head>The Decision of the Senate</head>This speech of the Rhodians was universally regarded<note anchored="yes" place="marg" id="note41">Treaty with Antiochus confirmed.</note>as temperate and fair. The Senate next caused Antipater and Zeuxis, the ambassadors of Antiochus, to be introduced: and on their speaking in a tone of entreaty and supplication, an approval of the agreement made by him with Scipio in Asia was voted. A few days later the people also ratified it, and oaths were accordingly interchanged with Antipater and his colleague. This done, the other ambassadors from Asia were introduced into the Senate: but a very brief hearing was given to each, and the same answer was returned to all; namely, that ten commissioners would be sent to decide on all points of dispute between the cities.<note anchored="yes" place="marg" id="note42">Settlement of Asia, B. C. 189.</note>The Senate then appointed ten commissioners, to whom they gave the entire settlement of particulars; while as a general principle they decided that of Asia this side Taurus such inhabitants as had been subject to Antiochus were to be assigned to Eumenes, except <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Lycia&groupId=711&placeId=1304">Lycia</a> and Caria up to the <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Maeander&groupId=725&placeId=1330">Maeander</a>, which were to belong to the Rhodians; while of the Greek cities, such of them as had been accustomed to pay tribute to Attalus were to pay the same to Eumenes; and only those who had done so to Antiochus were to be relieved of tribute altogether. Having given the ten commissioners these outlines of the general settlement, they sent them out to join the consul, Cnaeus Manlius Vulso, in Asia.<pb n="280" />After these arrangements had been completed, the Rhodian<note anchored="yes" place="marg" id="note43">Soli in <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Cilicia&groupId=467&placeId=350">Cilicia</a>.</note>envoys came to the Senate again with a request in regard to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Soli&groupId=982&placeId=1734">Soli</a> in <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Cilicia&groupId=467&placeId=350">Cilicia</a>, alleging that they were called upon by ties of kindred to think of the interests of that city; for the people of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Soli&groupId=982&placeId=1734">Soli</a> were, like the Rhodians, colonists from <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Argos&groupId=361&placeId=689">Argos</a>. Having listened to what they had to say, the Senate invited the attendance of the ambassadors from Antiochus, and at first were inclined to order Antiochus to evacuate the whole of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Cilicia&groupId=467&placeId=350">Cilicia</a>; but upon these ambassadors resisting this order, on the ground of its being contrary to the treaty, they once more discussed the case of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Soli&groupId=982&placeId=1734">Soli</a> by itself. The king's ambassadors still vehemently maintaining their rights, the Senate dismissed them and called in the Rhodians. Having informed them of the opposition raised by Antipater, they added that they were ready to go any length in the matter, if the Rhodians, on a review of the whole case, determined to push their claim. The Rhodian envoys, however, were much gratified by the spirit shown by the Senate, and said that they would ask nothing more.<note anchored="yes" place="marg" id="note44">Summer B. C. 189.</note>This question, therefore, was left as it was; and just as the ten commissioners and the other ambassadors were on the point of starting, the two Scipios, and Lucius Aemilius, the victor in the sea fight with Antiochus, arrived at <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Brundisium&groupId=411&placeId=762">Brundisium</a>; and after certain days all three entered <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Rome&groupId=935&placeId=1669">Rome</a> in triumph.<note anchored="yes" type="summary" place="inline" resp="ess" id="note45">Amynandrus was restored to the kingdom of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Athamania&groupId=377&placeId=710">Athamania</a>, which was occupied by a garrison of Philip's, by the aid of the Aetolians, who then proceeded to invade Amphilochia and the Dolopes. Hence the Aetolian war, beginning with the siege of Ambracia by M. Fulvius Nobilior.<bibl n="Liv. 38.1" default="NO" valid="yes">Livy, 38, 1-11</bibl>.</note>
