Gaius mucius scaevola biography of donald

Gaius Mucius Scaevola was a hero of the Romans, who became famous for his courage. Probably this story, which comes from the work of Livy, is just a legend.

Slipping into the enemy camp, he accidentally killed a person similarly dressed to the king, who turned out to be a royal scribe.
