Manes
A name applied by the ancients to the soul when departed from the body.
Manilius, C. Tribune of the Plebs, B. C. 66, proposed the law, Manilia Lex, granting to Pompey the command of the war against Mithridates, and which Cicero supported in an extant oration.
Manlius, Marcus. A celebrated Roman who, at an early age, distinguished himself for valor.
When Rome was taken by the Gauls, he, with a body of his countrymen, fled to the Capitol, which he defended when it was surprised in the night by the enemy. This gained him the surname of Capitolinus, and the geese which had awakened him to action by their clamor were afterward held sacred among the Romans.
