Quinctius

Welcome

Each of our authors pens under a pseudonym. Like Publius, we believe that an author's motive "must remain in the depository of [his] own breast." Your editor is Quinctius, who attempts to embody the qualities of Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, an aristocrat and farmer from early Roman times who twice was given near dictatorial powers by the Roman Senate in order to save Rome. Having won the day on the battlefield on one occasion, and solved the pending crisis on another, LQC immediately resigned his dictatorial powers and returned to his fields. Our Quinctius will try to honor his Roman predecessor's qualities by overseeing our posts with selfless service to objectivity and fairness, and a dedication to ensuring that all respectful viewpoints are given full voice in our Speakers Corner.
