Gaius Licinius Calvus was a Roman politician from the plebian Licinia gens in the fourth century BC.
Family edit
His grandfather was Publius Licinius Calvus Esquilinus, serving as consular tribune between 400 BC and 396 BC.
Career edit
In 368 BC, Licinius became the first plebian Magister equitum and was made dictator by Publius Manlius Capitolinus during the battles of the plebian consulship.[1]
In 364 he himself held the consulship and was the colleague of Gaius Sulpicius Peticus. That year, Rome was once again attacked by plague. And so the first Ludi Romani were established to appease the gods.[2]
