Random Odd Thing of the Day: Gaius Memmius Regulus

Gaius Memmius Regulus was consul with Lucius Verginius Rufus in AD 63, during the reign of the emperor Nero. He was probably the son of Publius Memmius Regulus, consul suffectus in AD 31, and Lollia Paullina, whom the Emperor Caligula had compelled the elder Regulus to divorce, so that he could marry her himself.

The gens Memmia was a plebeian family at Rome. The first member of the gens to achieve prominence was Gaius Memmius Gallus, praetor in 173 BC. From the period of the Jugurthine War to the age of Augustus they contributed numerous tribunes to the Republic.

The main praenomina of the Memmii were Gaius, Lucius, Quintus, and Publius. There is also at least one example of Titus.


(In case anyone on my flist was contemplating a White Collar A/U set in Rome. With slaves. And lots of smexing.)

Post Ep Dish - White Collar - S3.09 - On the Fence

I can’t believe it, but there is just two episodes left - On The Fence and next week’s episode. Where has time gone?

I am probably going to get annoyed at parts of this episode. I’ve got more than a little familiarity with ancient Egyptian artifacts, and I am pretty sure that they are going to get it wrong. But we’ve got Keller and that always makes for an entertaining

Also, right now - I am not a fan of Mozzie right now. In fact, I find I am rather hating him - at least based on the promo clips. If he wants to go, then he should just GO! Let Neal make up his own mind.

Hrmph. Of course I don’t really hate Mozzie, I just well - hate what he’s doing to Neal, dragging him down into the dark pits of hell. Or back to prison.

Here we go folks -

( Beans are being spilt. Nazi and otherwise. )

Thinky thoughts? Not so thinky thoughts?
