516 BUBULCUS.
1. C. JUNIus C. F. C. N. BUBULCJUS BaRUTUS,
was consul B. c. 317 and again in 313, in the latter of which years Saticula was founded. (Liv. ix.
20, 21, 28; Diod. xix. 17, 77; Festus, s. v. Saticula.) He was magister equitum in 312 to the
dictator C. Sulpicius Longus (Fast. Capit.) and not
dictator, as he is erroneously called by Livy (ix.
29). He was consul a third time in 311, and
carried on the war against the Samnites with great
success. He retook Cluvia, which the Samnites
had wrested from the Romans, and thence marched to Bovianum, which also fell into his hands.
In his return from Bovianum, he was surprised in
a narrow pass by the Samnites; but, after a hardfought battle, he gained a great victory over them,
and slew 20,000 of the enemy. It must have
been on this occasion that he vowed a temple to
Safety, which he afterwards dedicated in his dictatorship. In consequence of this victory, he obtained the honour of a triumph. (Liv. ix. 30, 31;
Diod. xx. 3; Fast. Capitol.) In 309 he was again
magister equitum to the dictator L. Papirius Cursor (Liv. ix. 38), and in 307 obtained the censorship with L. Valerius Maximus. During his censorship he contracted for the building of the temple
of Safety which he had vowed in his consulship,
and he and his colleague had roads made at the
public expense. They also expelled L. Antonius
from the senate. (Liv. ix. 43; Val. Max. ii. 9.
~ 2.) Finally, in 302, he was appointed dictator
when the Aequians renewed the war, as a general
rising of the surrounding nations was feared. Bubulcus defeated the Aequians at the first encounter,
and returned to Rome at the end of seven days;
but he did not lay down his dictatorship till he
had dedicated the temple of Safety which he had
vowed in his consulship. The walls of this temple
were adorned with paintings by C. Fabius Pictor,
which probably represented the battle he had gained
over the Samnites. (Liv. x. 1; Val. Max. viii. 14.
~ 6; Plin. xxxv. 4. s. 7.) The festival to commemorate the dedication of this temple was celebrated, in Cicero's time, on the Nones of Sextilis.
(Cic. ad Att. iv. 1.)
2. C. JUNIUS C. F. C. N. BRUTUS BUBULCUS,
consul B. c. 291 (Liv. xvii. 6), and again in 277.
In the latter year, lie and his colleague P. Cornelius Rufinus were sent into Samnium, and sustained a repulse in an attack upon the Samnites
in the mountains. Their loss upon this occasion
led to a quarrel between the consuls, who separated in consequence. Zonaras says, that Bubulcus remained in Samnium, while Rufinus marched
into Lucania and Bruttium: but, according to the
Capitoline Fasti, which ascribe a triumph over the
Lucanians and Bruttians to Bubulcus, the contrary
must have been the case. (Zonar. viii. 6.)
BUCA, the name of a family of the Aemilia
gens, known to us chiefly from coins.
1. L. AEMILIUS BUCA, the father (Ascon. in
Scaur. p. 29, ed. Orelli), is supposed to have been
quaestor under Sulla, and to have struck the annexed coin to commemorate the dream which Sulla

BULARCHUS.
had on his approach to Rome from Nola, in B. c.
83. (Plut. Sull. 9.) On the obverse is the head
of Venus, with L. BVCA; on the reverse a man
sleeping, to whom Diana appears with Victory.
(Eckhel, v. p. 121.)
2. L. AEMILIUS BUCA, the son, supplicated the
judges on behalf of M. Scaurus at his trial in B. c.
54. (Ascon. 1. c.) The following coin is supposed
to refer to him, on the obverse of which is the
head of Caesar, with PERPETVO CAESAR, and on
the reverse Venus seated holding a small statue of
Victory, with the inscription L. BUCA. There are
several other coins belonging to this Buca, on some
of which we find the inscription, L. AEMILIUS
BUCA IIIVIR, from which it would appear that lie
was a triumvir of the mint. (Eckhel, vi. pp. 8, 9.)
M. BUCCULEIUS, a Roman, not unversed in
legal studies, although, in the treatise De Oratore
(i. 39), Cicero puts into the mouth of L. Crassus a
rather sarcastic sketch of his character. Bucculeins
is there described by Crassus as fa.miliaris nosier,
neque meo judicio stultus, et suo valde sapiens. An
anecdote is then given of his want of legal caution.
Upon the conveyance of a house to L. Fufius, he
covenanted that the lights should remain in the
state in which they then were. Accordingly Fufius,
whenever any building however distant was raised
which could be seen from the house, commenced
an action against Bucculeius for a breach of agreement. [J. T. 0G.]
BUCILIA'NUS, one of Caesar's assassins, B. c.
44 (Cic. ad Att. xv. 17, xvi. 4), is called Bucolianus by Appian (B. C. ii. 113, 117), from whom
we learn that he had been one of Caesar's friends.
BUCO'LION (BovicoAiwv), a son of Laomedon
and the nymph Calybe, who had several sons by
Abarbarea. (Hom. II. vi. 21, &c.; Apollod. iii.
12. ~ 3; ABARBAREA.) There are two other
mythical personages of this name. (Apollod. iii.
8. ~ 1; Paus. viii. 5. ~ 5.) [L. S.]
BU'COLUS (BovicKOS), two mythical personages, one a son of Heracles, and the other of
Hippocoon. (Apollod. ii. 7. ~ 8, iii. 10. ~ 5.) [L.S.]
BUDEIA (Boes'ea). 1. [ATHENA.]
2. A Boeotian woman, the wife of Clymenus
and mother of Erginus, from whom the town of
Budeion derived its name. (Eustath. ad Homn. p.
1076.) From the Scholiast on Apollonius Rho.
dius (i. 185), it appears that she was the same as
Buzyge. Others derived the name of the town of
Budeion from an Argive hero, Budeios. (Eustath.
1. c.; Steph. Byz. s. v. BoSe'ta.) [L. S.]
BULARCHUS, a very old painter of Asia
Minor, whose picture representing the defeat of the
Magnesians (Magnetum proeliumn, Plin. H. N.
xxxv. 34; Magnettum excidium, Ib. vii. 39) is said
to have been paid by Candaules, king of Lydia,
with so much gold as was required to cover the
whole of its large surface. This is either a mistake
of Pliny, since Candaules died in B. c. 716, and
the only destruction of Magnesia that is known of
took place after B. c. 676 (see HIeyne, Art. ITemspor. Opusc. v. p. 349); or, what is mnore probable,
