History: Flaccus was born in DCXXV in Rome. His father is a lawyer and occasional politician. He had little interest or aptitude in public service. He briefly served in a legion with distinction eventually raising to the rank of aquilifer but was dismissed for indecency. In DCXLVI. he published his first book of poetry, to critical acclaim. He publishes about one or two books a year. DCLII he published Love's siege which is a thinly veiled autobiographical account of his sexual exploits with T. Tarquinius Helva's entire family. His friend Ser. Calprunius Clavis turned it into a play and M. Laelius Pictor produced the play. Tarquinius Helva sued all three men. Though well defended by Manlius Calvus, they were exiled to different provinces. Flaccus was exiled to Africa Proconsularis.
