  Claudius (gens) - LoveToKnow 1911
One of his clients, Marcus Claudius, swore that she was the child of a slave belonging to him, and had been stolen by the childless, wife of the centurion.
The revolution which ruined Claudius was a return to the rule of the patricians represented by the Horatii and Valerii.
Claudius was of a distinctly religious turn of mind, as is shown by the interest he took in sacred buildings (the temple at Eleusis, the sanctuary of Amphiaraus at Oropus).

 Appius Claudius Caecus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His sons included Gaius Claudius (father of the consul Appius Claudius Caudex) and the first Tiberius Claudius Nero (who was the ancestor of Appius Claudius Pulcher).
Appius Claudius Caecus is used in Cicero's Pro Caelio as a stern and disapproving ancestor to Clodia.
Cicero speaks as Caecus in a scathing prosopopoeia, where Caecus is incensed at Clodia for associating with Caelius, a member of the middle equestrian class instead of the upper patrician class.

A comparison of the accounts suggests that both were using the same source for Caecus’ censorship, and that both misinterpreted the passage to result in different years for the rejection of the lectio, both wrong.
For both Caecus and Fabius, this elogium differs from the better known Forum-Augusti examples, and presents otherwise unattested activity: for Caecus, we hear of no dealings with a Hannibal, for Fabius there is nothing about a lectio.
This is Diodorus’ only extended mention of any censorship or of Caecus, and the details, as well as his account of the rest of the year, suggest that he was drawing on the same ultimate source as Livy.

Appius Claudius (PW 123) was a decemvir of the Roman Republic ca 451 BC.
He was claimed to have been murdered or committed suicide as a consequence of his lust for Verginia, but the historical facts are scanty and dubious.
This Appius Claudius should not be confused with Appius Claudius Caecus (PW 91), a censor in 312 BC, or Appius Claudius Caudex (PW 102), a consul in 264 BC.
