Nice to be back after a long while!
My question regarding Regulus is this: The story regarding his going back to Rome as a Carthaginian prisoner in order to negotiate terms and encouraging the Senate to continue the war and then nobly going back to Carthage to face death by execution is not found in either Polybius or Diodorus. So what is the origin of this story and how credible is it? Thanks in advance.
