So like. Cic. Fam 7.23.4 introduces Licinia, sister of a Cassius; there is a house in Rome next to Cicero's that belongs to Cassius and is inhabited by Licinia; Licinia's husband Dexius is gone to Spain.

We are not sure which Cassius owns the house, but we do know from the same letter that he is friends with Nicias, whom Shackleton Bailey identifies as Curtius Nicias of Cos: grammarian, Epicurean, friend and client of Dolabella. Cassius may be our Gaius Cassius Longinus or his younger brother Lucius.

Licinia's husband Dexius is otherwise unattested. It seems an obscure marriage for a half-sister of Cassius, and it needs an explanation. Nevertheless, I am very tempted to bring up Decius, proscribed and killed in 43 bce according to Appian (App. BC 4.27). I suspect they might be the same person.

[Note. Shackleton Bailey: "Manutius proposed Crasso ( i.e. M. Licinius Crassus , son of the ' Triumvir ' ) <;in place of Cassio>". This particular Crassus does not make sense: even if the unattested daughter of the triumvir existed, how likely was she to marry a no-name Dexius while her brothers married the daughters of Metellus Scipio and Metellus Creticus? Furthermore, by Shackleton Bailey's dating of the letter to 46 bce, M. Licinius Crassus the younger is long dead. Some other Crassus might make sense, but I do not think we have a suitable one at the time.]

@divinehr gets a random mini-starter!

The Professor had been in Rome for a collective three years. He had made himself a silent ( but helpful ) presences in the life of Emperor Claudius. Someone the Time Lord admired greatly. Going by the name Solus Dexius now, a philosopher. He had to be careful of what he said and did. There was a non-interference policy in place by the High Council when it came to fixed points in history. He was stuck here and unable to leave currently. His TARDIS was burred off the coast in Ostia and badly damaged.

He had finished talking with Claudius in the hallway before he parted ways with the man, giving him some advice about the aqueduct he was building. That's when he had also ran into Priscilla. Solus remained silent for a long while before speaking to her. "So, you're the divine mother of Rome." he stated with interest. He seemed to blend in fairly well, after all he had a very deep fondness for humans. Yet, this woman wasn't one. Not technically. They saw her as the mother of all Romans. Gave birth to Romulus and Remus. How ... interesting. He knew it all already. The joys of being a Time Lord it seemed. Yet, he didn't know everything. "You must forgive me, I've been away from Rome for some time that I've nearly forgotten. Do tell, what do you see for our dear friend Claudius?" He had a feeling that she was aware he was not supposed to be here. That he wasn't from Rome or even from this planet.

Zhen Dexiu (Chinese: 真德秀; Wade–Giles: Chen Te-hsiu; 1178 – 1235) was a Chinese politician and philosopher during the Southern Song dynasty. His Neo-Confucianist views were influential at court and together with his colleague Wei Liaoweng he was instrumental in making Neo-Confucianism the dominant political philosophy of his time.

how do cal and dexius know eachother

They both knew each other on Irk

That’s all I can elaborate on for rn because Snazz might have a better time explaining

I believe Dex was a scientist if what I remember is correct. Cal was an overseer of Invaders, so their paths definitely crossed a few times lol

Oh is Dexius Irken now

Yep! We changed his design right before we announced the rebooted version of SN. It makes for some really interesting backstory for him and cal alike (ps: they meet already on irk!)

What are the big changes for this reboot?

We arn’t quite sure yet, all previous ocs are still in the Au.

1. Dexius is now irken instead of vriquen. We felt the vriquens didn’t really bring much to the au. Instead I’ll be using them in a original concept for another series. That said liz is now half irken instead

2. we are only planning one act at a time for less confusion. 

3. The reboot starts a month before the florpus happens

So I have a DMC OC that’s a blatant self-insert because it’s 2019 and we are done thinking self-inserts are cringy goddammit love yourselves and the other night, my brain was like “hey what if...... werewolf”

And my brain wouldn’t shut up about aspiring werewolf boyfriend Dexius until I did something with it, so I just drew some shit
