• Maevius, according to some manuscripts, proposed the addition of an event called
instauratitius to the Circensian games, occurring in 489 BC. He would probably have been a
tribune of the plebs, but in the better manuscripts, his name is given as
Maenius, and he might be the same person as Gaius Maenius, tribune of the plebs in 483. • Marcus Maevius, a
military tribune, who fell in battle against
Mago in 203 BC, during the
Second Punic War; possibly should be
Maenius. • Maevius, a soldier during the
Civil War, who slew his own brother, an episode commemorated by two elegiac poems in the
Latin Anthology. • Maevius, an infamous
poetaster of the
Augustan age, remembered chiefly from the barbs hurled at him by his contemporaries,
Vergil and
Horace. He is said to have written on the spendthrift son of the tragedian
Clodius Aesopus. Either he or his cohort, Marcus Bavius, is thought to have written the
Antibucolica, two pastoral poems written as parodies of Vergil's
Eclogues, or
Bucolica. • Lucius Maevius Quintianus, one of several persons who dedicated an altar to Asclepius at Rome in AD 228. • Quintus Maevius Aglaus, the husband of Clodia, whose funerary inscription was found at Rome. • Clodius Maevius Q. f.
