Gaius Licinius Calvus

Gaius Licinius Calvus was a Roman politician from the plebeian Licinia gens in the fourth century BC.

In 368 BC, Licinius became the first plebeian Magister equitum and was made dictator by Publius Manlius Capitolinus during the battles of the plebeian consulship.

[1] In 364 he himself held the consulship and was the colleague of Gaius Sulpicius Peticus.

And so the first Ludi Romani were established to appease the gods.
