Gaius Papirius Carbo Arvina was a Roman orator and politician. He was an opponent of the reforms championed by the tribune Marcus Livius Drusus and the orator Lucius Licinius Crassus, and held the plebeian tribunate the year following Drusus's murder. He held senior state positions in the interlude between the civil wars of 87 and 83 BC, when his cousin, Gnaeus Carbo, dominated the government. Nevertheless, during the war in 82 his loyalty was seen as suspect, causing Arvina to be murdered by government agents during a meeting of the Senate.

The first member of this gens mentioned in history is Herius Asinius, commander of the Marrucini during the Social War.

The gens Servilia was a patrician family at ancient Rome. The gens was celebrated during the early ages of the Republic, and the names of few gentes appear more frequently at this period in the consular Fasti. It continued to produce men of influence in the state down to the latest times of the Republic, and even in the imperial period. The first member of the gens who obtained the consulship was Publius Servilius Priscus Structus in 495 BC, and the last of the name who appears in the consular Fasti is Quintus Servilius Silanus, in AD 189, thus occupying a prominent position in the Roman state for nearly seven hundred years.
The gens Modia was a minor family at Ancient Rome, known from a small number of individuals.
The gens Cominia was a minor plebeian family at ancient Rome, which appears in history from the Republic to imperial times. The first of this gens to hold the consulship was Postumus Cominius Auruncus in 501 BC, and from this some scholars have inferred that the Cominii were originally patrician; but all of the later Cominii known to history were plebeians.
The gens Egnatia was a plebeian family of equestrian rank at ancient Rome. Only a few of the Egnatii held any magistracies, of whom the most important may have been Gnaeus Egnatius, who held the praetorship during the second century BC, and served as governor of Macedonia, shortly after its institution as a Roman province.
Quintus Arrius was a Roman praetor in 73 BC. In the next year he should follow Gaius Verres as governor of Sicilia. But first he had to support the consuls Lucius Gellius Publicola and Gnaeus Cornelius Lentulus Clodianus in the Third Servile War against the leaders of the rebellious slaves, Spartacus and Crixus. In the battle in which Arrius conquered Crixus 20,000 slaves are said to have been killed; but Arrius was soon after defeated by Spartacus. A scholiast on Cicero said that Quintus Arrius thereafter went to Sicily to take over this province from Verres, but died on the way there. However, the scholiast does not seem to be well informed, and the veracity of his assertion is doubtful. It only can be said that Quintus Arrius did not govern Sicilia.
The gens Coelia, occasionally written Coilia, was a plebeian family at ancient Rome. The Coelii are frequently confounded with the Caelii, with some individuals called Caelius in manuscripts, while they appear as Coelius or Coilius on coins.

Gaius Papirius Crassus was a Roman senator who held the executive state office of consul in 430 BC, as the colleague of Lucius Julius. During their year in office, an eight year long truce may have been signed with the Aequi, but this is uncertain. The consuls also enacted a law which allowed for the payment of fines in cash instead of livestock, in response to some heavy fines levied by the censors, Lucius Papirius and Publius Pinarius. Although the initiative for this law had come from the plebeian tribunes, the consuls preempted them by introducing the measure themselves.
Appius Claudius Crassus Inregillensis was a Roman politician and general. According to the historian Livy, he delivered a speech to the senate in 368 BC unsuccessfully opposing the proposal to open the executive office of consul to plebeians. In 362, after the plebeian consul of that year had been killed in battle, Claudius was nominated dictator and campaigned against the Hernici, obtaining some successes but with heavy losses of his own. He died shortly after taking office as consul in 349.
