'''{{Style S-Small capitals|Atticus Herodes, Tiberius Claudius}}'''. Celebrated Greek rhetorician, b. ca. 104 a.d., at Marathon, in Attica; d. ca. 180. Belonged to a very ancient family which traced its origin to the famous Aeacidae. After completing his studies under the most famous rhetoricians of the time, he opened a school of rhetoric at Athens, and afterwards at Rome, where Marcus Aurelius was among his pupils. Raised to the consulship, 143; for a time entrusted with the administration of the free towns in Asia; performed the functions of high-priest at the festivals celebrated at Athens in honour {{Page aside|419}}of Marcus Aurelius and L. Verus. Principally known for the vast sums he expended on public purposes, arousing some antagonism from jealous people. He built at Athens a race-course of white Pentelic marble, and the magnificent theatre of Regilla, with a roof made of cedar-wood. He erected a stadium at Delphi, hot baths at Thermopylae, and an aqueduct at Canusium, in Italy. He also restored partially ruined cities in Greece. Most of his speeches, specified by the ancients, are no longer extant.

Bailly espoused the democratic cause in the Revolution. He was elected, 1789, first deputy from Paris to the ''tiers état'', and became president of the National Assembly. He was the mayor of Paris during 26 months packed with dangerous events and trying circumstances (July 15, 1789—Nov. 16, 1791). The dispersal by the National Guard, under his orders, of the riotous assembly in the Champ de Mars, July 17, 1791, lost him his popularity, and he retired to Nantes where he wrote his ''Mémoires d’un témoin oculaire'', etc. (publ. posthumously by Berville and Barrière, 1821-22), an incomplete narrative of the events of the Revolution. In 1793, Bailly left Nantes to join his friend Pierre Simon Laplace at Melun; he was recognized, arrested and brought before the Revolutionary Tribunal at Paris. On Nov. 12, 1793, he was guillotined.
