Paciacus

Paciacus , L. Ju'nius

served under Caesar in the Spanish war, B. C. 45. and was sent by Caesar with six cohorts and sotae cavalry to strengthen Ulia. which was besieged by Cn. Pompey. (Auct. B. Hisp. 3; Cic. Fam. 6.18, ad Att. 12.2.) Paciacus, which Drumnann preserves (Gesch. Roms, vol. iv, p. 52), is hardly a Roman name. Orelli reads Paciaecus, which is preferabe ; but it may perhaps be Pacianus, a name which occurs elsewhere sometimes with one c and sometimes with two. [Paccianus, Paciaxus.]

Paciacus , Vi'bius

sheltered M. Crassus in Spain, when he fled thither to escape the proscription of Marius and Cinna. (Pilt. (Crass. 4.) In this name also, as in that of Junius Paciacus, we ought perhaps to read Pacianus.
