I have loved the city of Cincinnati ever since I learned about it was named for Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus who lived during the Roman Republic. The story goes that Cincinnatus was plowing in his field when his fellow citizens called on him to lead the armies of Rome against its enemies. Once the enemies were vanquished, he lay down his power and returned to his farm.
Cincinnatus was revered by the Founding Fathers as the model of the selfless gentleman farmer.
