Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, MACELLUM (search)
MACELLUM the first of the three macella known to us in Rome, situated just north of the forum. We are told that this market was burned in 210 B.C. (Liv. xxvii. II) and rebuilt, but in 179 B.C. M. Fulvius Nobilior seems to have erected a new structure on the north-east side of the basilica Aemilia (which was built by himself and his colleague in the censorship), which absorbed the forum piscarium, the forum cuppedinis, and other special markets that occupied this site (Varro, LL v. 146-147 ; Fest. 238; Liv. xl. 51). It probably consisted of a central building, which in Varro's time was a tholos in shape, surrounded with shops (Liv. loc. cit.; Varro ap. Non. 448; Altm. 73, 74). The name, like the Greek JadeXXov (Varro, LL. v. 146), is thought to be Semitic in origin (Walde, s.v.), but was variously explained by the Romans (Varro, loc. cit.; Fest. 125; Donat. ad Ter. Eun. 256). The entrance to the market-house was called fauces macelli (Cic. Verr. iii. 145; pro Quinct. 25), and a shor

lanienis argentariae factae). In 310 B.C. an attempt was made at decoration of the forum, and gilded shields were distributed to the domini argentariarum (Liv. ix. 40. 16). Argentariae appears to have been the designation of these tabernae until 210 B.C. when some at least of them were burned (Liv. xxvi. 27. 2: eodem tempore septem tabernae quae postea quinque, et argentariae quae nunc novae appellantur, arsere). In the following year the septem tabernae were rebuilt (Liv. xxvii. I . 16), and thmus a genere magistratus. eas enim faciendas curaverunt M. Iunius Brutus Q. Oppius aediles plebis. They were praetors in 192 (Liv. xxxv. 23. 24). This emendation is probably sufficiently correct to warrant the conclusion that the shops burned in 210 and not rebuilt in 209 were reerected before 192 and called plebeiae or novae. The first name, however, if it ever existed, did not come into common use, for we find no other instance of its occurrence. These tabernae were called argentariae novae

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]
