When reading of the large sums pos
sessed by modern milllonaires, II is in
teresting TO recall the notable fortunes
OF ancient days. Croesus. whose name
has become a byword for excessive
wealth, could certainly not have bought
up a Vanderbilt: his whole fortune did
not exceed three millions. A far great
or sum was left by the Infamous. and
miserly Tiberlus, who was worth S11S.-
$4,000 at his death. and II is said that
his successor. Caligula. squandered this
immense wealth within n year. Sen
eca had a tidy little fortune OF SIT, 500.-
900. which could hardly have been the
case had his philosophy been pure and
unalloyed Aspius. discovering that his
treasury contained only 100000. com

single repast cost Lucullus 100000.
and at one OF her banqnets Cleopatra

clients. but In the matter Of extrava-
gance we think the balance Is on the
