Cicero, Flavians, And Pisos (Roman Piso, 01-16-2003, Updated 05-09-2021) Abstract: This paper is of a historic and genealogical nature. It is one piece of a gigantic puzzle of ancient history. My work, which includes this paper, was written to lay the groundwork for a new awakening in terms of the study of history, in that it shows by example what may be discovered when history is examined as literature and by following certain specific rules which apply only when history has been done in an entirely different context than has been previously thought. And that is, that it was an inside job. It was an inside job in the sense that it was written by those in power from within a royal oligarchy which had been maintained over the course of thousands of years. This is the correct way to study and learn from history as it was meant to be known at a future date from when the authors had written it. They wrote it in such a way that only those with the same knowledge of what they were doing could truly understand it. == A few items of note before we get to the genealogy showing the descent of Arrius Piso from Cicero's brother Quintus. In the 50s BCE, Cicero was angry with his wife Terentia Varronia for “betraying” him, never stating publicly (or obviously) in which way she did that. We have observed what pieces of the puzzle exist to give us an answer to that. What we find is that she had cheated on him with his brother Quintus, his brother, fathering a child with Terentia.* Another thing which bears mentioning is that an examination of the name 'Cicero' renders the fact that the name was merely a derivative or version of the name 'Caesar'. That is because it is not only phonetically similar in its spelling, but that it is another way of spelling 'Caesaro(n)'; e.g. 'Caesar'. The Pisos have been well-known as having used a similar spelling of the name as one of their core names 'Caesoninus' (meaning 'Younger Caesar', or 'Infant Caesar', the meaning of which indicates that they were a younger branch of Caesar, and that they would have to wait their turn to become rulers of the Empire; that is, after the rule of the Julian Caesars).** Cicero's descendants married both main branches of the Pisos, the Calpurnii Piso Frugi, and the prominent Calpurnii Piso families. Who, as has been pointed out, were themselves, also a line of the family of Caesars. All of those of the line of the Caesars were 'Libo' prior to being named 'Caesar', and thus, trace their ancestry back to the ancient kings of Troy.*** Cicero was born in 106 BCE, and died in 43 BCE. The Pisos had a huge collection of his writings in their library at the Piso's villa at Herculaneum. He was a favorite of theirs. Cicero was a Roman consul in 63 BCE. And, one of the reasons that he was a favorite of the Pisos is because they observed his works regarding jurisprudence (several of the family of Arrius Calpurnius Piso had become Jurists and wrote on the subject of jurisprudence. Cicero was, as evidenced in his works, also a Roman Jurist.**** At that time, a 'Jurist' was more than simply someone called in to do jury duty; but was also at times, a lawyer & even acting judge, as well as conscripted to writing pieces of legislation to submit for consideration as law. One of Cicero's better known quotes is “Salus populi suprema lex esto”, which means “The welfare of the populace should be the supreme (guiding) law.” [Ref. Cicero, De Legibus] Cicero was an accomplished Roman statesman, philosopher, lawyer, orator, political theorist, and constitutionalist.*****
