A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Acidi'nus (search)
Acidi'nus 1. L. Manlius Acidinus, praetor urbanus in B. C. 210, was sent by the senate into Sicily to bring back the consul Valerius to Rome to hold the elections. (Liv. 26.23, 27.4.) In B. C. 207 he was with the troops stationed at Narnia to oppose Hasdrubal, and was the first to send to Rome intelligence of the defeat of the latter. (Liv. 27.50.) In B. C. 206 he and L. Cornelius Lentulus had the province of Spain entrusted to them with proconsular power. In the following year he conquered the Ausetani and Hergetes, who had rebelled against the Romans in consequence of the absence of Scipio. He did not return to Rome till B. C. 199, but was prevented by the tribune P. Porcius Laeca from entering the city in an ovation, which the senate had granted him. (Liv. 28.38, 29.1-3, 13, 32.7.)

C. Are'nnius and L. ARE'NNIUS, were tribunes of the plebs in B. C. 210. L. Arennius was praefect of the allies two years afterwards, B. C. 208, and was taken prisoner in the battle in which Marcellus was defeated by Hannibal. (Liv. 27.6, 26, 27.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Blaesus (search)
Blaesus 4. Cn. Sempronius Blaesus, legate in B. C. 210 to the dictator Q. Fulvius Flaccus, by whom he was sent into Etruria to command the army which had been under the praetor C. Calpurnius. (Liv. 27.5.) It is not improbable that this Cn. Blaesus may be the same as No. 3, as Cn. is very likely a false reading for C., since we find none of the Sempronii at this period with the former praenomen, while the latter is the most common one.

Bla'sius, Bla'tius or BLA'TTIUS, one of the chief men at Salapia in Apulia, betrayed the town to the Romans in B. C. 210, together with a strong Carthaginian garrison that was stationed there. The way in which he outwitted his rival Dasius, who supported the Carthaginians, is related somewhat differently by the ancient writers. (Appian, Annib. 45-47; Liv. 26.38; V. Max. 3.8, extern. 1.)

Blo'sius 2. BLOSH, two brothers in Capua, were the ringleaders in an attempted revolt of Capua from the Romans in B. C. 210; but the design was discovered, and the Blosii and their associates put to death. (Liv. 27.3.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Ca'tius (search)
Ca'tius 1. Q. Catius, plebeian aedile B. C. 210 with L. Porcius Licinus, celebrated the games with great magnificence, and with the money arising from fines erected some brazen statues near the temple of Ceres. He served as legate in the army of the consul C. Claudius Nero in the campaign against Hasdrubal in B. C. 207, and was one of the envoys sent to Delphi two years afterwards to present to the temple some offerings from the booty obtained on the conquest of Hasdrubal. (Liv. 27.6, 43, 28.45.)

Clu'via, Fau'cula [CLUVII], a Capuan courtezan, who lived in the time of the second Punic war. She earned the good-will of the Romans by secretly supplying the Roman prisoners with food. When Capua was taken, B. C. 210, her property and liberty were restored to her by a special decree of the senate. (Liv. 26.33, 34.) [C.P.M]

, and was the first Licinius with the surname Dives mentioned in history. In B. C. 212, though a young man who had never sat in the curule chair, he defeated two distinguished and aged consulars, Q. Fulvius Flaccus and T. Manlius Torquatus, in a hard-fought contest for the office of pontifex maximus. (Liv. 25.5.) In B. C. 211 he was curule aedile, and gave splendid games, remarkable for the crowns with foliage of gold and silver, that were then first exhibited at Rome (Plin. Nat. 21.4); in B. C. 210 he was magister equitum of the dictator Q. Fulvius Flaccus, and in the same year obtained the censorship, but abdicated (as was usual) in consequence of the death of his colleague. In B. C. 208 he was praetor. In B. C. 205 he was consul with Scipio Africanus, and undertook the task of keeping Hannibal in check in the country of the Bruttii. Here he succeeded in rescuing some towns from the enemy, but was able to do little in consequence of a contagious disease which attacked him and his ar

Da'sius 2. Of Salapia. He and Blattius were the leading men at Salapia, and he favoured Hannibal, while Blattius advocated the interests of Rome, at least as much as he could do in secret. But as Blattius could effect nothing without Dasius, he at length endeavoured to persuade him to espouse the part of the Romans. But Dasius, unwilling to support his rival, informed Hannibal of the schemes of Blattius. Both were then summoned by Hannibal. Blattius, when he appeared before the Carthaginian general, accused Dasius of treachery; and Hannibal, who had not much confidence in either of them, dismissed them both. However, Blattius carried out his design, and Salapia with its Punic garrison was surrendered to the Romans. Dasius was killed in the massacre which ensued. This happened in B. C. 210.

Sex. Digi'tius 1. An Italian, who served as a marine (socius navalis) under the great P. Corn. Scipio Africanus. After the taking of New Carthage in B. C. 210, Sex. Digitius and Q. Trebellius were rewarded by Scipio with the corona muralis, for the two men disputed as to which of them had first scaled the walls of the place. (Liv. 26.48.) It must be supposed that Digitius was further rewarded for his bravery with the Roman franchise; for his son, or perhaps he himself, is mentioned as praetor in B. C. 194.
