This was a pretty important family in the 3rd century also... his father Marcus was consul in 294, his son Marcus was consul in 227 and 217, and his other son Gaius was consul in 225. I think there was a brother or uncle also named Gaius who was consul in 257 and 250. Not too shabby of a resume if you ask me (not that you did). Maybe he could replace the seemingly less important Blasio (not that I know anything about Blasio)?
    Fun fact from our internal notes:

    Caius Atilius Regulus (consul in 225) commanded at Telamon. He was killed and his head presented to the Gallic king.

    The Atilius issue is clearly a very important to our players. We should adopt this suggestion immediately. ;)
