: Licinia 16; sear5 #274; Cr354/1; Syd 732 Gaius Licinius Macer (died 66 BC) was a Roman annalist and politician.
A member of the ancient plebeian clan Licinia, he was tribune in 73 BC.
The work is now lost, but from Livy and Dionysius who both used it, we know that it began with the founding of the city,[3] and that Pyrrhus appeared in Book II.
Livy casts doubt on Macer's reliability, suggesting that he misrepresented events in order to glorify the Licinii,[4] but notes that he quotes original sources such as the Linen Rolls.
[5] According to Macrobius, he credited Romulus with the introduction of intercalation to the Roman calendar.
