Mention was also made of charges made against him ten years earlier by C Licinius Macer that Rabirius had profaned holy places and graves.
Both Rabirius and Labienus were acquitted of Macer's charges, and this led to Macer himself being convicted of extortion and committing suicide in 66.
But it could be that Rabirius was another of Clodia's many lovers, and this may have been brought up to have her husband acquiesce to the trial, as he, Q Caecilius Metellus Celer, was the praetor in 63, later to became Consul in 60.

 John Malalas, Licinius Macer, and the history of Romulus
Livy does not dwell on the issue but, considering the tone of fragment 2A, it is conceivable that this was the interpretation of Licinius Macer, whom we know to have been concerned with the history of civil strife.
This is why at the banquets known as philika (friendly gatherings) each participant brings his own food and drink with him to the banquet and everything is then served in common; in their eating they preserve to the present day the ancient custom of not being called "eaters of other men's food".
It would seem, then, that Macer's history (even at second hand) was a significant influence on Malalas for the regal period, but before we conclude, there is one more argument to make, and to do it we need to take a closer look at the remaining Licinian fragments concerned with period.

 Livy's History of Rome
According to Licinius Macer, the Dictator was nominated by the consul Licinius.
Licinius Macer's desire to appropriate the credit of this to his house (the Licinii) lessens the weight of his authority.
In this year C. Licinius Stolo was impeached by M. Popilius Laenas for having violated his own law; he and his son together occupied a thousand jugera of land, and he had emancipated his son in order to evade the law.

Catulus opposed it on the grounds that it set an unconstitutional precedent, but to no avail.
Cicero had been elected praetor and happened to be assigned the court de reputundis in which Licinius Macer, an ally of Crassus, was charged for extortion during his provincial govenorship.
Cicero prided himself in conducting the trial in such a way that Crassus' monetary influence was not felt, and that won popular support.

Clovis moved the settlement farther south i the mountains, nearer the spring, to escape the notice of Charlemagne and later the Holy Roman Empire.
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.

Horace speaks of Plautus as a follower of Epicharmus, and his plots were frequently taken from mythological subjects.
With regard, however, to the other plays of Plautus, as well as those of Caecilius, Trabea, Licinius Imbrex, Luscius Lavinius, Terence and Turpilius, there is no ground for supposing that they departed from the regular treatment of palliatae.
His moral character was assailed soon after his death by Porcius Licinius, but probably without good grounds.

 The Internet Classics Archive | Cicero by Plutarch
For Cicero, it seems, not only wanted courage in arms, but, in his speaking also, began with timidity, and in many cases scarcely left off trembling and shaking when he had got thoroughly into the current and the substance of his speech.
Being to defend Licinius Murena against the prosecution of Cato, and being eager to outdo Hortensius, who had made his plea with great applause, he took so little rest that night, and was so disordered with thought and overwatching, that he spoke much worse than usual.
And this, indeed, seems to have been one principal cause of his condemnation.

 Gaius Valerius Catullus Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography
Catullus belonged to a circle of neoteroi, or "new poets," who used as their models the learned Greek poet-scholars at Alexandria in the Hellenistic period and wrote elegant, allusive, and highly finished poems on love, mythology, and other topics.
They cherished the epithet docti, "learned." Catullus's friends were the poets C. Licinius Macer Calvus, Furius Bibaculus, and C. Helvius Cinna; the orator Q. Hortensius, Cicero's rival in the law courts; and the biographer Cornelius Nepos, to whom Catullus dedicated his book of poems.
Jerome gives the year 87 B.C. and says that he died at age 30.
