Gaius Maenius
Gaius Maenius (possibly Gaius Maenius Antiaticus) was a Roman statesman and general who was elected consul in 338 BC and appointed dictator twice, in 320 BC and 314 BC.
==Consulship and the Latin War==
Hailing from a plebeian family,〔Allen, William Francis, ''A Short History of the Roman People'', 1891, pg. 83〕 Maenius was elected consul in 338 BC alongside Lucius Furius Camillus during the final stages of the Second Latin War. He commanded the Roman naval forces which defeated the combined Latin armies of Antium, Lanuvium, Aricia and Velitrae.〔Livy viii. 13.〕 at the Battle of Antium on the river Astura, thereby completing the conquest of Latium. After this victory, he took the six ''rostra'' (rams) from the prows of the enemy warships, and placed them in what became known as the Rostra, decorating the stage in the Roman Forum from which the orators would address the people. After this victory, both Maenius and his colleague were awarded triumphs, and in a rare show of appreciation, both had equestrian statues erected to them in the Roman Forum. His statue was placed upon a column, called the ''Columna Maenia'', which stood near the end of the Forum, on the Capitoline. In addition, it is also possible that he took the cognomen ''Antiaticus'' in remembrance of this victory.
