Gaius Popillius Laenas
Gaius Popillius Laenas (fl. 172–158 BC) was a politician and general of the Roman Republic. He was consul two times, once in 172 and once in 158 BC. He was sent as an envoy to prevent a war between Antiochus IV Epiphanes of the Seleucid Empire and Ptolemaic Egypt. On being confronted with the Roman demands that he abort his attack on Alexandria, Antiochus played for time; Popillius Laenas is supposed to have drawn a circle around the king in the sand with his cane, and ordered him not to move out of it until a firm answer had been given.
