Cae'sia Gens

plebeian, does not occur till towards the end of the republic. [CAESIUS.]

On the following coin of this gens, the obverse represents the head of a youthful god brandishing an arrow or spear with three points, who is usually supposed from the following passage of A. Gellius (5.12) to be Apollo Veiovis : " Simulacrum dei Veiovis -- sagittas tenet, quae sunt videlicet paratae ad nocendum. Quapropter eum deum plerique Apollinem esse dixerunt." The two men on the reverse are Lares : between them stands a dog, and above them the head of Vulcan with a forceps. (Eckhel, v. p. 156, &c.)

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
