Gaius Valerius Potitus : ウィキペディア英語版 | Gaius Valerius Potitus Gaius Valerius Potitus, or Caius Valerius Potitus Flaccus,〔His name is usually given ''Gaius Valerius Potitus'', or as in Livy's case just ''Gaius Valerius (Livy, ''Ab urbe condita'', viii. 18).〕 was consul with M. Claudius Marcellus in 331 BC〔Titus Livy, ''Ab urbe condita'', viii. 18〕 and was aedile in 329 BC. His father was Caius Valerius Potitus (''Tribuni militum consulari potestate'' in 370 BC) and his brother was Lucius Valerius Potitus (''magister equitum'' in 331 BC). During his consulship, Valerius carried out the execution of some 170 women accused of murdering their husbands with poison.〔Valerius Maximus, ''(Memorable Deeds and Sayings: One Thousand Tales from Ancient Rome )'', p. 55 (Translated by Henry John Walker)〕 They were all convicted on the testimony of one slave girl. During his term as aedile, Valerius brought Marcus Flavius to trial for adultery. During the trial, Valerius lost his temper and claimed he didn't care whether or not he was ruining an innocent man as long as Flavius was being ruined. Because of this he failed to convict Flavius.〔Valerius Maximus, ''Factorum ac Dictorum Memorabilium libri IX'' viii. 1. § 7.〕 ==Notes==
