Salonius

1. P. SALONIUS, had been tribune of the soldiers, and first centurion for several alternate years, and was hated by the soldiers because he had been opposed to their mutinous projects in B. C. 342. (Liv. 7.41.)

2. C. Salonius, one of the triumvirs who founded the colony at Tempsa in B. C. 194. He was appointed in B. C. 173 one of the decemvirs for dividing certain lands in Liguria and Cisalpine Gaul among the Roman citizens and the Latins. (Liv. 34.45, 42.4.)

3. Q. Salonius Sarra, praetor B. C. 192, obtained Sicily as his province. (Liv. 35.10, 20.)

4. M. Salonius, the father of the second wife of Cato the Censor. [Salonia.]

bishop of Genoa about the middle of the fifth century, was the son of Eucherius, bishop of Lyons, and the pupil of Salvianus [Salvianus], who dedicated to him his two works, De Avaritia and De Providentia. He is supposed to have died before A. D. 475, because in the acts of the Council of Aries, held during that year, a certain Theophlastus is spoken of as presiding over the see of Genoa.
