Granius Flaccus
Granius Flaccus (active in the 1st century BC) was an antiquarian and scholar of Roman law and religion, probably in the time of Julius Caesar and Augustus.
==Religious scholar==
Granius wrote a book ''De indigitamentis'' ("On Forms of Address"), on the ''indigitamenta'', that is, those pontifical books that contained prayer formularies or lists of deity names as a reference for accurate invocations.〔Mary Beard, J.A. North and S.R.F. Price. ''Religions of Rome: A History'' (Cambridge University Press, 1998), vol. 1, p. 152; Matthias Klinghardt, "Prayer Formularies for Public Recitation: Their Use and Function in Ancient Religion," ''Numen'' 46 (1999), p. 44; William Warde Fowler, ''The Roman Festivals of the Period of the Republic'' (London, 1908), p. 89.〕 Granius dedicated this work to Caesar, as his contemporary Varro did his ''Antiquitates Divinae''.〔Eleanor G. Huzar, "Emperor Worship in Julio-Claudian Egypt," ''Aufstieg und Niedergang der römischen Welt'' II.18.5 (1990), p. 3106.〕 The title of the book is taken from a citation in the 3rd-century grammarian Censorinus.〔Censorinus ( 3.2 ): ''in libro quem ad Caesarem de indigitamentis scriptum reliquit''; ( French translation. )〕 Macrobius cites him jointly with Varro as an authority on a religious point.〔Macrobius, ''Saturnalia'' 1.18.4.〕
Granius was used as a source on ancient Roman religion by the Church Fathers; Arnobius, for instance, refers to him as many as five times〔Four times, and a possible fifth as "Flaccus," who may also be Verrius Flaccus.〕 in his books ''Contra Paganos'', second in number only to Varro, equal to the famed Pythagorean scholar Nigidius Figulus, and more often than Cicero. Arnobius implies that he knows the works of Aristotle only indirectly, and cites Granius as his intermediary source at least once. Granius, he says, demonstrates that Minerva is Luna, and also identified the Novensiles with the Muses.〔George E. McCracken, ''Arnobius of Sicca: The Case Against the Pagans'' (Newman Press, 1949), pp. 35, 36, 216, 221–222, 258, 364–365. The passage involving Aristotle, Minerva, and the Moon is (3.6. )〕
Granius maintained that the Genius and the Lar were one and the same.〔Censorinus 3.2.〕 He shared the view of Varro that the ''res divinae'' for both Apollo and Father Liber were celebrated on Mount Parnassus.〔Macrobius, ''Saturnalia'' 1.18.4, Bill Thayer's (edition ) at LacusCurtius.〕 It is sometimes unclear whether references to "Flaccus" refer to him or to Verrius Flaccus.
