Gaius Valerius Flaccus (consul)
Gaius Valerius Flaccus ( early 1st century BC) was a Roman general, politician and statesman. He was consul of the Roman Republic in 93 BC and a provincial governor in the late-90s and throughout the 80s. He is notable for his balanced stance during the Sullan civil wars, the longevity of his term as governor, and his efforts to extend citizenship to non-Romans. He followed a normal course of magisterial roles in his younger years, culminating in his consulship, the highest civil rank in republican Rome. In 92 he was appointed governor of one or both of the Roman provinces in Hispania, inheriting a bloody insurrection. He suppressed it and governed for a lengthy period, with noted punctilio to legal procedures. At some point in the 80s Flaccus was appointed governor of Gallia Transalpina (southern France); it is possible that at the same time he was also governor of Gallia Cisalpina (northern Italy). It is not known whether he retained his governorships in Hispania at the same ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lucius Valerius Flaccus (suffect Consul 86 BC)
Lucius Valerius Flaccus (died 85 BC) was the suffect consul who completed the term of Gaius Marius in 86BC. In the Roman Republic, Marius had fought a series of civil wars against Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix (better known as Sulla), both leaders of their respective factions. Flaccus was considered a staunch supporter of Marius and Lucius Cornelius Cinna (Marius' main ally), the latter of whom shared his consulate and succeeded Marius as faction leader. Flaccus was made governor of the Roman province of Asia in 85BC, and headed there with two legions. He was murdered at Nicomedia during a mutiny fomented by one of his senior subordinates, Flavius Fimbria. Flaccus is also known for the ''Lex Valeria de aere alieno'', his legislation on debt reform during the Roman economic crisis of the 80sBC. This legislation resolved the pressing economic crisis to the benefit of debtors by cancelling three-quarters of all outstanding debts, to the great disadvantage of their creditors. Fami ...

Cicero
Marcus Tullius Cicero ( ; ; 3 January 106 BC – 7 December 43 BC) was a Roman statesman, lawyer, scholar, philosopher, and academic skeptic, who tried to uphold optimate principles during the political crises that led to the establishment of the Roman Empire. His extensive writings include treatises on rhetoric, philosophy and politics, and he is considered one of Rome's greatest orators and prose stylists. He came from a wealthy municipal family of the Roman equestrian order, and served as consul in 63 BC. His influence on the Latin language was immense. He wrote more than three-quarters of extant Latin literature that is known to have existed in his lifetime, and it has been said that subsequent prose was either a reaction against or a return to his style, not only in Latin but in European languages up to the 19th century. Cicero introduced into Latin the arguments of the chief schools of Hellenistic philosophy and created a Latin philosophical vocabulary ...
