Caelius
5. M. Caelius, a Roman knight, from whom Verres took away, at Lilybaeum, several silver vases. (Cic. Ver. 4.47.) As Cicero says that this Caelius was still young at this time, B. C. 71, he may be the same M. Caelius who is mentioned in the oration for Flaccus, B. C. 59. (Cic. pro Flacc. 4.)
