About Cincinnatus
Cincinnatus was this totally awesome ancient Roman dude. A legendary farmer, dictator and consul from the height of the Roman Empire, Cincinnatus gained fame as a model of Roman virtue. He was a farmer above all, but when called to serve his country he did so without question. He was plowing his field when he learned he had been appointed dictator of Rome for a six month period in order to defend his country against the neighboring Aequi, who had surrounded the Roman army and the consul Minucius in the Alban Hills. Cincinnatus rose to the occasion and defeated the Aequi. Once his mission was accomplished, he promptly gave up the title of dictator sixteen days after it had been granted and returned to his fields. Sweet!
