Appius Claudius Caecus
"Gaius" is an archaic Latin name and one of the earliest Roman praenomina. Before the introduction of the letter 'G' into the Latin alphabet, i.e. before the censorship of Appius Claudius Caecus in 312 BC, the name was only written as "Caius". The old spelling remained valid in later times and existed alongside "Gaius", especially in the form of the abbreviation "C".
