	Gaius Marius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marius was born in 157 BC in the town of Arpinum in southern Latium.
		The facts that Marius had connections with the nobility in Rome, that he ran for local office in Arpinum and that he had marriage relations with the local nobility in Arpinum all combine to indicate that he was born into a locally important family of equestrian status.
		Marius seems to have been able to get exactly what he wanted and it even seems that his support determined whom the People would elect as his colleagues (his choice was apparently determined on the basis of their malleability).

	The Internet Classics Archive Caius Marius by Plutarch
		Marius came forth with glory to the people and confirmed his law, and was henceforth esteemed a man of undaunted courage and assurance, as well as a vigorous opposer of the senate in favour of the commons.
		Marius answered that the Romans never consulted their enemies when to fight, however, he would gratify the Cimbri so far; and so they fixed upon the third day after and for the place, the plain near Vercellae, which was convenient enough for the Roman horse, and afforded room for the enemy to display their numbers.
		Marius, in return for this piece of service, was forced to connive at Saturninus now proceeding to the very height of insolence and violence, and was, without knowing it, the instrument of mischief beyond endurance, the only course of which was through outrages and massacres to tyranny and the subversion of the government.

		Gaius Marius was born in B.C. 157, at the village of Cereatae (modern Casamare)

	GAIUS MARIUS - LoveToKnow Article on GAIUS MARIUS

	Gaius Marius
		"Gaius Marius, a man of rustic birth, rough and uncouth, and austere in his life, as excellent a general as he was an evil influence in time of peace, a man of unbounded ambition, insatiable, without self-control, and always an element of unrest.
		Marius altered the way that the pilum (the throwing spear of the common soldier) was fixed to the shaft; this caused the point to break off upon impact, which meant Rome's enemies could not return the spear against her legions.
		Marius' new legions prefigured Caesar's troops crossing the Rubicon, the later Praetorian Guard who made and broke Emperors, and the eventual empowerment of the Roman legions to choose and control the autocrats of state.

	Decline and Fall of Western Civilization
		# posted by gaius marius : April 03, 2006 9:34 PM in short, i suppose, i have traded for the potential delusion of applied history in attempting to avoid the certain delusion of simplisitic and linear reason in a world that is neither simple nor linear.
		# posted by gaius marius : February 01, 2006 1:58 PM The antiwar movement, in general, seems to suffer from the same malady as the culture at large when it comes to questions of morality: they fail to understand the difficulty of maintaining an ethics firmly rooted in Judeao-Christian soil without normative belief.
		# posted by gaius marius : March 30, 2006 6:07 PM IMHO referencing "the guardian" is not an appeal to an unbiased source.

	The Catholic Encyclopedia - Latin Literature in Early Christianity
		Victorinus of Pettau, in the mountains of Styria, introduced biblical exegesis into Latin literature, and began that series of commentaries on the Apocalypse which so influenced the imagination, and echoed so powerfully among the artists and writers, of the Middle Ages.
		Ambrose is generally considered an authentic representative of the Latin mind, and this is true of the bent of his genius and of his exercise of authority as the head of a Church; but no one, perhaps, translated more frequently from the Greek writers, or did it with more spirit or more care.
		The same visions were embodied in the verses of Commodianus, the first Christian poet, but in a second work he took his place among the apologists and combatted paganism.

	Philosophy
		Much more significant than either, however, was Gaius Marius Victorinus, the brilliant professor whose conversion in 355 caused a sensation at Rome.
		Victorinus of Pettau was the first known Latin biblical exegete; of his numerous commentaries the only one that remains is the commentary on Revelation, which maintained a millenarian outlook--predicting the 1,000-year reign of Christ at the end of history--and was clumsy in style.
		From Africa, rent asunder by Donatism, the heretical movement that rejected the efficacy of sacraments administered by priests who had denied their faith under persecution, came the measured anti-Donatist polemic of Optatus of Milevis, writing in 366 or 367, whose line of argument anticipates Augustine's later attack against the Donatists.
