Caesetia gens

Members

• Publius Caesetius, the quaestor of Verres.
• Gaius Caesetius, an eques who sought the aid of Caesar to pardon Quintus Ligarius.
• Lucius Caesetius Flavus, tribune of the plebs in 44 BC, was deprived of his office after earning the enmity of Caesar through is actions. Flavus, along with Lucius Epidius Marullus, had ordered the removal of crowns from Caesar's statues, and imprisoned a man who had saluted the dictator as rex. Caesar expelled them from the senate, but Flavus became quite popular as a result of his steadfastness. The tribune "Flavius" in Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar is based on him.
• Caesetius Rufus, the owner of a house coveted by Fulvia, the wife of Mark Antony, by whom he was proscribed in 43 BC. Supposedly his death was the result of little more than Fulvia's greed.
