  Gaius Licinius Macer Calvus - LoveToKnow 1911
GAIUS LICINIUS MACER CALVUS (82-47 B.C.), Roman poet and orator, was the son of the annalist Licinius Macer.
As an orator he was the leader of the opponents of the florid Asiatic school, who took the simplest Attic orators as their model and attacked even Cicero as wordy and artificial.
Calvus was very short of stature, and is alluded to by Catullus (Ode 53) as Sala-.

 Licinius Macer Calvus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Son of Licinius Macer and thus a member of the gens Licinia, he was a friend of the poet Catullus, whose style and subject matter he followed.
Calvus' oratical style opposed the "Asian" school in favor of a simpler Attic model; he characterized even Cicero as wordy and artificial.
Calvus was apparently short, since Catullus alludes to him as salaputium disertum (eloquent Lilliputian).

 Licinius Macer
The work is now lost, but from Livy and Dionysius, who both used it, we know that it began with the founding of the city, and that Pyrrhus appeared in book 2.
Livy casts doubt on Macer's reliability, suggesting that he misrepresented events in order to glorify the Licinii (7.9.5), but notes that he quotes original sources, such as the Linen Rolls (4.7.12, 4.20.8, 4.23.2).
His son Licinius Macer Calvus was a noted poet.

 Gaius Licinius Stolo - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Gaius Licinius (Calvus) Stolo, along with Lucius Sextus, was by tradition one of the two tribunes of ancient Rome that opened the consul to the plebeians.
He was supposed to have been tribune from 376 BC to 367 BC.
Although Livy describes the activities of Gaius Licinius in great detail, it is likely that they are not accurate; much of it is suspiciously similar to events in the age of the Gracchi two hundred years later, and it is quite possible that the annalist Licinius Macer invented episodes of his family's activities.

Gaius Lucilius was a member of a wealthy equestrian family, and thus could associate on equal terms with the aristocracy, while he was removed from the necessity, which members of the great senatorian houses could hardly avoid, of giving the best of their time and strength to political and administrative duties.
Gaius Helvius Cinna--somewhat doubtfully identified with the "Cinna the poet" who met such a tragical end at the hands of the populace after Caesar's assassination--carried the Alexandrian movement to its most uncompromising conclusions.
Gaius Valerius Catullus of Verona, one of the greatest names of Latin poetry, belonged, like most of this group, to a wealthy and distinguished family, and was introduced at an early age to the most fashionable circles of the capital.

The only explanation I have for "117 men under Gaius Licinius Marc..." is that the computer was searching for the correct name (and that the guys at Bungie were giving us a hint).
Gaius Licinius was the first magister equitum (sort of right hand man in the court hierarchy) and thus kept the name through history, but there's Gaius Licinius Mucianus who was the govenor of Syria (amongst other things), and also (likely incorrect) Gaius Licinius Macer Calvus, a poet and politico.
