  Titus Calpurnius - LoveToKnow 1911
Hardly anything is known of the life of Calpurnius; we gather from the poems themselves (in which he is obviously represented by " Corydon ") that he was in poor circumstances and was on the point of emigrating to Spain, when "Meliboeus " came to his aid.
6 (1880), identify the amphitheatre with the Colosseum (Flavian amphitheatre) and assign Calpurnius to the reign of Domitian.
Calpurnius was first printed in 1471, together with Silius Italicus and has been frequently republished, generally with Gratius Faliscus and Nemesianus.

 Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus was a politician of the late Roman Republic.
He captured Caesar's fleet, leaving Caesar stranded in Epirus, although this was a small feat as Caesar went on to defeat Pompey at the Battle of Pharsalus.
From the first marriage he had three sons, including the later statesman Lucius Calpurnius Bibulus.

 Bestia - LoveToKnow 1911
Lucius Calpurnius Bestia, one of the Catilinarian conspirators, possibly a grandson of the above.
The conspiracy, however, was put down and Bestia had to content himself with delivering a violent attack upon the consul on the expiration of his office.
This Bestia is probably not the Lucius Calpurnius Bestia, aedile, and a candidate for the praetorship in 57.

At the beginning of Nero's reign he wrote seven Ecldgce, or bucolic poems, which are somewhat servile imitations of Theocritus and Vergil.
Calpurnius lavishes the most fulsome praises upon the emperor.
Pour of the Eclfigce, which were formerly attributed to Calpur­nius, are now known to have been written by Nemesianus, who not only imitates Cal­purnius, but plagiarizes from him.

 Meridian Magazine :: Turning Hearts : A Testimony From the Grave
I met Gaius Calpurnius Receptus, or rather, I first saw his gravestone in the summer of 1988, when my wife, Mary, and I were touring England and Wales with my parents, who were serving a mission at the London Temple.
One of my thoughts, was on the impression that Gaius Calpurnius Receptus needed to receive priesthood authority through temple ordinances, in order to be able to teach the gospel to his people, or rather the people of his time and community.
Mary pointed to the first declaration on the banner, of Gaius Calpurnius Receptus, and said: "He's the branch president." I reminded her of his request to me and his need to receive the priesthood and temple ordinances, that he might teach the gospel to the people of his time and community.

Calpurnius, in the mean time, having raised an army, chose for his officers men of family and intrigue, hoping that whatever faults he might commit, would be screened by their influence; and among these was Scaurus, of whose disposition and character we have already spoken.
There were, indeed, in our consul Calpurnius, many excellent qualities, both mental and personal, though avarice interfered with the exercise of them; he was patient of labor, of a penetrating intellect, of great foresight, not inexperienced in war, and extremely vigilant against danger and surprise.
Calpurnius then returned to Rome to preside at the election of magistrates, and peace was observed throughout Numidia and the Roman army.

 Calpurnius of Coralhaven
Calpurnius of Coralhaven is by birth Calpurnius Claudianus VI, son of Argento Claudianus III, the late monarch of the Coralhaven enclave, a small submarine commune of the alienated Aventi people.
Though Calpurnius is a prince of his homewater, officially his older brother Tichondrius, the reigning king, and unofficially his power-hungry younger brothers Publius and Pyrrhus prevent him from holding any significant power.
Calpurnius despises arcane magic -- the tool of his younger brothers -- and will take steps to prevent its use in his company.

Lewis A. Sussman, The Declamations of Calpurnius Flaccus.
The lucid translation avoids over-interpretation while getting across the feeling of the original (reading it straight through is a little like eating a very large box of not-quite-first-rate chocolates), and S. has in several cases improved on Håkanson's divisions between extracts.
pp.148 and 231 on Calpurnius' use of legal and political terminology; p.193 on Ovidian reminiscences; p.202 on closural themes), and I look forward to his forthcoming study of Calpurnius' style, which should expand on the extremely useful, but all too short, introduction here.

He has received perhaps the least attention of all the ancient declaimers; there is a good edition by L. Hakanson (1978), which S. uses as his base text, but no commentary since 1720.
The lucid translation avoids over-interpretation while getting across the feeling of the original (reading it straight through is a little like eating a very large box of not-quite-first-rate chocolates), and S. has in several cases improved on Hakanson's divisions between extracts.
If we consider Roman declamation not as a symptom of decline but as an intellectual and literary activity in its own right--and one which, moreover, interested some of the finest minds of several centuries--it might become a more meaningful element of our general understanding of the early Empire.

 20kWeb: Is Christianity A Hoax?
All extant literature dating from before 100 A.D. which makes reference to early Christianity is from the pen of the conspirators, often writing under pseudonyms.
Reuchelin claims that the contemporary Jewish General and historian Flavius Josephus is, in fact, Arius Calpurnius Piso.
However the real dogbone to this bare cupboard of references to early Christianity is to be found in the strange silence that surrounds researches into the famous Dead Sea Scrolls; leather, parchment and metal scrolls written in Hebrew which have been unearthed in the hundreds, often complete and in excellent condition.

Nero could not kill such a powerful figure as his relative Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus, because he was the name sake of the earlier Roman Hero whose daughter married Julius Caesar.

He also was the patron of Antipater of Thessalonica, who composed an epic about the war Pontifex had waged in Thrace (PIR2 Calpurnius 289).
In fact, it will be noted that the L. Calpurnius Piso of this inscription is not given the agnomen "Caesoninus," while the L. Calpurnii Pisones in the second and third inscriptions are.

 Thank God! My Savior Was Not A Jew! - Part 3 of 8
It is based on the assumption that the New Testament was a plot against the Jews, perpetrated by a Roman nobleman named C. Calpurnius Piso, in order to discredit the Jews in the eyes of the Emperor.
Yet anyone with even a superficial knowledge of Roman history, knows that the conspiracy to overthrow the Roman tyrant Nero was led by this same Calpurnius Piso, a scion of one of Rome's most prominent families.
Calpurnius Piso, who was a "wicked goyim", (a Nazi really), conspired with the Christians against God to keep the Empire out of Jewish control.

 Lucius (1) (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
As the praenomen only of the consul is given, there has been much discussion as to the person intended.
The weight of probability has been assigned to Lucius Calpurnius Piso, who was one of the consuls in 139-138 BC, the fact of his praenomen being Cneius and not Lucius being explained by an error in transcription and the fragmentary character of the documents.
The authority of the Romans not being as yet thoroughly established in Asia, they were naturally anxious to form alliances with the kings of Egypt and with the Jews to keep Syria in check.
