Today we added a page for Caius Lutatius Catulus. He belonged to the distinguished Catulus family of ancient Rome and came during the First Punic War to fame. In the year BC 245, during his consulate with Aulus Posthumius Albinus, and already twenty-three years into the First Punic war, he was sent by the senate with a fleet of 200 to 300 ships to Sicilian waters.
