  Balbus - LoveToKnow 1911
Lucius Cornelius Balbus (called Major to distinguish him from his nephew) was born early in the last century B.C. He is generally considered to have been of Phoenician origin.
After Caesar's murder, Balbus seems to have attached himself to Octavian; in 43 or 42 he was praetor, and in 40 consul - an honour then for the first time conferred on an alien.
In 19 Balbus defeated the Garamantes, and on the 27th of March in that year received the honour of a triumph, which was then for the first time granted to one who was not a Roman citizen by birth, and for the last time to a private individual.

  Lucius Cornelius Balbus (maior) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lucius Cornelius Balbus (called Major to distinguish him from his nephew) was born early in the last century BC.

After Caesar's murder, Balbus seems to have attached himself to Octavian; in 43 or 42 BC he was praetor, and in 40 BC he became the first naturalised Roman citizen to attain the consulship.

 History of Balbus Theater
Domitian (81-96) undertook a major renovation of the Campus Martius which probably included the Balbus complex, for closure of the niches in the external facade, datable to this period, indicate that the crypta at least was already assigned to other functions (possibly as the headquarters of the vigiles).
Evidence for the continued existence of the Balbus complex in the age of Constantine is provided by the 4th Century Notitia Regionum XIV, which describes noteworthy objects in the fourteen regions of Rome.
For results of the massive archaeological excavation of the Theater and Crypta of Balbus undertaken by the Soprintendenza Archeologica di Roma, see the exhibit catalogue (the source of much material posted here) and the on-line announcement of the April 2, 2000, opening of the Crypta Balbi Museum on the original site.

 Cicero, De natura deorum (On the Nature of the Gods) Book 3: The Online Library of Liberty
The mind and its faculties, Balbus, are products of nature, not the artistically walking1 nature of which Zeno speaks, as to the meaning of which we will inquire later, but the nature which quickens and stirs all things by its own movements and changes.

 The Effect of Microphysical Dissipation on the Balbus and Hawley Instability in Accretion Disks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Previous studies of the magnetorotational instability described by Balbus and Hawley (1991) have shown that the saturation amplitude is dominated by reconnection and dissipative processes.
Thus, there is reason to believe that the ratio of the magnitude of viscous to resistive terms may have a significant effect on the the growth and subsequent non-linear evolution of the Balbus and Hawley instability in accretion disks.
Several numerical simulations were carried out to determine how the saturation amplitude and consequently the rate at which angular momentum is transported through the disk varies in disks dominated by resitive versus viscous effects.

Balbus was waiting for them at the hotel: the journey down had tired him, he said: so his two pupils had been the round of the place, in search of lodgings, without the old tutor who had been their inseparable companion from their childhood.
They had named him after the hero of their Latin exercise-book, which overflowed with anecdotes of that versatile genius--anecdotes whose vagueness in detail was more than compensated by their sensational brilliance.
"Much may be excused in a cat so treated," said Balbus, as they left the house and crossed to Number Seventy- three, leaving the landlady curtseying on the doorstep, and still murmuring to herself her parting words, as if they were a form of blessing, "--not without you pulls its whiskers"
