after the battle of heraclea, the famous roman soldier fabricius came to king pyrrhus' camp to ask for the release of the roman prisoner. pyrrhus admired fabricius and invited him to be his chief of staff. fabricius replied: "that will not be to your advantage. once you men get to know me, they will choose me over you."
pyrrhus did not explode in a tyrannic tantrum. on the contrary, among his friends he commended fabricius. he entrusted fabricius with all the roman prisoners, who were given leave to return to rome for the saturnalia. fabricius guaranteed to bring them back to captivity if the roman senate still wanted war rather than peace after the holidays.
