  Gaius - LoveToKnow 1911
Besides the Institutes, which are a complete exposition of the elements of Roman law, Gaius was the author of a treatise on the Edicts of the Magistrates, of Commentaries on the Twelve Tables, and on the important Lex Papia Poppaea, and several other works.
Another circumstance which renders the work of Gaius more interesting to the historical student than that of Justinian, is that Gaius lived at a time when actions were tried by the system of formulae, or formal directions given by the praetor before whom the case first came, to the judex to whom he referred it.
It is clear from evidence of Gaius that this result was obtained, not by an independent set of courts administering, as in England previous to the Judicature Acts, a system different from that of the ordinary courts, but by the manipulation of the formulae.

 Gaius Gracchus
Gaius Gracchus, a flamboyant and powerful public speaker, was to be a far more formidable political force than his brother.
When Gaius Gracchus in 121 BC stood for yet another term as Tribune, the senate conspired to put forward their own candidate, M. Livius Drusus with an entirely false programme which was by its very nature simply designed to be yet more populist than anything Gracchus proposed.
The brief emergence and demise of Tiberius Gracchus and of his brother Gaius Gracchus onto the scene of Roman politics should send shock waves through the entire structure of the Roman state; waves of such magnitude that their effects would be felt for generations.

 Gaius Baltar - Battlestar Wiki
Baltar is subjected to a final revelation of his role with the Cylons (as virtual Six sees it) when "the future" is revealed to him on Kobol, in the form of the first of "God's new generation of children" (Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II).
When the Fleet jumps into the Ionian nebula, the confusion caused by a power outage allows the homeless Baltar to be secretly carried off by a group who claim they are leading him to his new life (Crossroads, Part II).
While Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell were hand-picked for their roles, the rest of the characters were cast by audition: among the actors in the running for the role of "Gaius Baltar" was Two and a Half Men's Jon Cryer, though the role ultimately went to James Callis.

 Gaius of Rome.
Gaius was a very learned (λογιωτατου) individual who lived in Rome at the time of Zephyrinus and disputed with Proclus of the Phrygians (another name for the Montanists) in his Dialogue, in which he ennumerated only thirteen Pauline epistles, omitting that to the Hebrews.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.12.06
Gaius became accepted as the type for a mad emperor (Commodus) but was also a model for the monarchs of the fourth century, although this resemblance was not acknowledged and probably not recognized.
Its cohesion comes from W.'s contention that Gaius called the bluff of the senate by exposing the hypocrisy inherent in the principate, and it is around this thesis that he develops his explanation of the young emperor's behavior.
His description of Gaius' difficult position with Tiberius on Capri is convincing, and his dating of the bridge of boats across the Bay of Naples to AD 40 is worth considering, although a good argument can be made for Dio's dating of 39 as well.

The very power of Gaius and Titius depends on the fact that they are dealing with a boy: a boy who thinks he is 'doing' his 'English prep' and has no notion that ethics, theology, and politics are all at stake.
If Gaius and Titius were to stick to their last and teach their readers (as they promised to do) the art of English composition, it was their business to put this advertisement side by side with passages from great writers in which the very emotion is well expressed, and then show where the difference lies.
Gaius and Titius, while teaching him nothing about letters, have cut out of his soul, long before he is old enough to choose, the possibility of having certain experiences which thinkers of more authority than they have held to be generous, fruitful, and humane.

The emperor Tiberius was succeeded by Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus, the only male member of the family of the popular Germanicus to survive the plots of Tiberius and his adviser, Sejanus, who had feared their interference with the succession.
Officially known as Gaius Caesar, he accompanied his father on his assignment at the Rhine frontier, where the soldiers nicknamed him Caligula or Little Boot for the miniature military outfit he wore there.

This coin type was first issued in A.D. 37 to commemorate the dedication of the temple and later revived.

 Preach The Word - 1, 2 and 3 John Pt21 - Gaius: The Man Who Helped God's Work
Rather than a prohibition given by the apostle to Gaius, there is in fact a commendation and a warning that he should never refuse admittance to those who are the true teachers and preachers in the church.
Gaius was a man, as we see from verse 8, who helped it: 'We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth'.
There's no indication that Gaius was a preacher or a teacher, and this is a wonderful point for you to remember dear child of God, if you're of the same ilk: Gaius will receive reward at the judgment seat of Christ.
