NIGHTBRINGER | The Arthurian Encyclopedia

Gaius

Caius

One of the Roman senate leaders who joined the army of Lucius mustering to oppose the arrival of King Arthur.

The name probably resulted from a confusion in Geoffrey’s list of senators: he mentions a Gaius Metellus Cotta, which Wace seems to have broken into three separate names and people.
