Appius Claudius
Appius Claudius was a wealthy Sabine from a town known as "Regillum". His original name was "Attius Clausus", according to Livy; Suetonius gives "Atta Claudius", while Dionysius of Halicarnassus gives "Titus Claudius". From the "Fasti consulares", it is known that Claudius' father was named "Marcus". He had at least two sons: Appius Claudius Sabinus Regillensis, consul in 471 BC, and Gaius Claudius Sabinus Regillensis, consul in 460 BC. Appius Claudius Crassus, the decemvir, was his grandson.
