Matius joined him, attracted perhaps by the personal charms of the young proconsul, perhaps by the love of adventure, perhaps, like his friend Trebatius, by the hope of making a reputation.
Matius shared with Caesar all the hardships and perils of that campaign, and with Caesar he witnessed the final scene of the tragedy when Vercingetorix, the heroic Gallic chieftain, gave up his sword, and the conquest of Gaul was finished.
But Matius was Caesar's friend and nothing more, not his master of the horse, as Antony was, nor his political and financial heir, as Octavius was.

The author affirms that Gaius is indeed well off spiritually, and he prays that Gaius’ physical health would match his spiritual health, i.e., that Gaius would be as well off physically as he is spiritually.
It is sometimes suggested that Gaius belongs to this church, but that seems unlikely, because the author uses a third-person pronoun to refer to the other members of the church (among them).
Gaius’ church and Diotrephes’ church may have been in the same city, or in neighboring towns, so that the author anticipates visiting both on the same journey.

He must have been a man of fine tastes and cultivation, for Cicero, in writing to a friend, bestows on Matius the title "doctissimus," the highest literary compliment which one Roman could pay another, and Apollodorus of Pergamum dedicated to him his treatise on rhetoric.
They forded the rivers together, walked or rode through woodland or open side by side, shared the same meagre rations, and lay in the same tent at the end of the day's march, ready to spring from the ground at a moment's warning to defend each other against attack from the savage foe.

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.

Because the name Gaius was very common in the Roman Empire, it is highly unlikely that the person named here is to be identified with any of the others of the same name associated with Paul (1 Cor 1:14, Rom 16:23 [these two references are probably to the same person]; Acts 19:29, Acts 20:4).
This is not merely the equivalent of an adverb (“truly”), but is a theological statement affirming the orthodoxy of Gaius, to whom the letter is addressed.

But Gaius Memmius makes the direct charge that he acted as cup-bearer to Nicomedes with the rest of his wantons at a large dinner-party, and that among the guests were some merchants from Rome, whose names Memmius gives.
Of these Gaius Oppius, as if admitting that the situation required apology and defence, published a book, to prove that the child whom Cleopatra fathered on Caesar was not his.
Even in the matter of food Gaius Oppius tells us that he was so indifferent, that once when his host served stale oil instead of fresh, and the other guests would have none of it, Caesar partook even more plentifully than usual, not to seem to charge his host with carelessness or lack of manners.

This republican opposition derived from Cato its whole attitude-- stately, transcendental in its rhetoric, pretentiously rigid, hopeless, and faithful to death; and accordingly it began even immediately after his death to revere as a saint the man who in his lifetime was not unfrequently its laughing-stock and its scandal.
The new monarch of Rome, the first ruler over the whole domain of Romano-Hellenic civilization, Gaius Julius Caesar, was in his fifty-sixth year (born 12 July 652?) when the battle at Thapsus, the last link in a long chain of momentous victories, placed the decision as to the future of the world in his hands.
Few men have had their elasticity so thoroughly put to the proof as Caesar-- the sole creative genius produced by Rome, and the last produced by the ancient world, which accordingly moved on in the path that he marked out for it until its sun went down.

 The Assassination Of Julius Caesar
When the consul, Maximus, died during Quaestorian elections on 31 December, 45, Caesar had Gaius Caninus Rebilus elected consul for the rest of the day and treated the affair as a huge joke.
Which leaves the affair of the crowning of Caesar's statue in the rostra, the fate of the tribunes, Gaius Epidus Marcellus and Lucius Caestius Flavius, the Lupercalia episode and Caesar's attitude to the divine (or quasi-divine) honours voted to him by an obsequious senate.

The October Horse was the sacrificial off-horse of the winning team on the Ides of October, and its head was contended for by men from the Via Sacra and the Suburra in a foot race.
The October Horse in the title of Colleen McCullough's new novel is of course Gaius Julius Caesar, Dictator of Rome.
This is the final volume in the Masters of Rome series and covers the time from Caesar's search for Pompey in Egypt to the battle of Philippi, which marks the end of the “liberators” and the beginning of the final rise of Octavian to Augustus.

He may or may not be the same person who wrote a three volume work on gastronomy (credited by Columella with inventing a chopped meat dish, minutal Matianum) or the person Pliny credits with inventing clipping shrubs.

Matius was an equestrian, a gentleman and a great friend.

Matius had offended the assassins and their sympathizers by helping to defray the cost of the games which Caesar had instituted in connexion with the foundation of the temple of Venus; and Cicero [106 - 43 B.C.E.] had made remarks about this and other matters which were repeated to Matius and wounded him.
and Matius, gladly accepting his explanation, replied in a letter which seems to me the noblest that has come from antiquity [see 2081-2083].
In this remarkable letter, a literary and historical...[3 Greek words], Matius [Gaius Matius (also: Caius Matius)] reveals himself as a man of broad-minded charity, outstanding courage, and unswerving fidelity in friendship—an example of Roman humanitas, virtus, and constantia.

While the exact origins of topiary are not known (some speculate that the pharaohs of ancient Egypt commissioned elaborately sculpted landscapes), several historians have traced this botanical art to Gaius Matius, a friend of Julius Caesar, in 38 BC.
The ancient Romans grew and groomed hedges for shelter and for architectural splendor, and as complements to the grace and the magnificence of their buildings.
