[Vinicianus.] CAENIS, the concubine of Vespasian, was ori- ginally a freedworaan of Antonia, the mother of the emperor Claudius. After the death of his Avife Flavia Domitilla, Vespasian took her to live with him and treated her almost as his legal wife. She had very great influence with Vespasian, and ac- quired immense we.alth from the presents presented to her by those who wished to gain the favour of the emperor. Domitian, however, treated her with some contempt. After her death, Vespasian kept many concubines in her place. (Dion Cass. IxvL 14 ; Suet. Vesp. 3, 21, Dom. 12.) CAEPIO. 533 M. CAEPA'RIUS. 1. Of Tarraclna, a town in Lotium, was one of Catiline's conspirators, who was to induce the shepherds in Apulia to rise, and who was on the point of leaving Rome for the purpose when the conspirators were apprehended by Cicero.

He was afterwards executed with the other conspira- tors in the TuUianum, b. c 63. (Cic. in Cat. iii. 6 ; Sail. Cat. 46, 47, 55.) 2.

For an account of this expedition, see Blaesus, No. 1. 2. Cn. Servilius Cn. f. Cn. n. Caepio, was probably a grandson, and not a son, of No. 1. He was elected pontiff in the place of C.

When Hannibal quitted Italy, Caepio passed over into Sicily, with the intention of crossing from thence to Africa. In order to prevent this, the senate, who feared that the consul would not obey their commands, created a dictator, P. Sulpicius Galba, who recalled Caepio to Italy. In B.C. 192, Caepio was sent with other legates into Greece, to encourage the Roman allies in the prospect of the war with Antiochus. He died in the pestilence in 174. (Liv.
