Scaurus decided in favour of the latter, who was able to offer more See also:money. On his arrival in See also:Syria, Pompey reversed the decision, but, ignoring the See also:charge of See also:bribery brought against Scaurus, See also:left him in command of the See also:district.

This agreement is represented on coins of Scaurus—Aretas kneeling by the See also:side of a See also:camel, and holding out an See also:olive See also:branch in an attitude of supplication. As See also:curule See also:aedile in 58, Scaurus celebrated the public See also:games on a See also:scale of magnificence never seen before. Animals, hitherto unknown to the See also:Romans, were exhibited in the See also:circus, and an artificial See also:lake (euripus) was made for the reception of crocodiles and hippopotamuses. One of the greatest curiosities was a huge See also:skeleton brought from See also:Joppa, said to be that of the See also:monster to which See also:Andromeda had been exposed. A wooden See also:theatre was erected for the occasion, capable of holding 8o,000 spectators. In 56 Scaurus was See also:praetor, and in the following See also:year See also:governor of See also:Sardinia. On his return to See also:Rome (54) he was accused of See also:extortion in his See also:province. See also:Cicero and five others (amongst them the famous Q. See also:Hortensius) undertook his See also:defence, and, although there was no doubt of his See also:guilt, he was acquitted. During the same year, however (according to some, two years later, under Pompey's new See also:law), Scaurus was condemned on a charge of illegal practices when a See also:candidate for the consulship. He went into See also:- EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap, consul, &c.; the connexion with solum, soil, country is now generally considered wrong)
