Grice e Numa

Numa was Rome's second king. A book was discovered. 'By Numa,' it read. It wasn't, but the Romans trust an inscription. It was very philosophical; therefore it wasn't long before The Roman Senate ordered that it should be burned. While this was done - and ceremoniously, most Italians had already learned by heart all the indiscriminate teachings it contained. The big polemic came later with Cicero, who didn't want Roman philosophy to have a start other than in Rome. He denied the school of Crotone, and much more strongly, any Etrurian influence via Numa.
