Publius Claudius Caecus discovered a love for all things Roman when he became a citizen in Fl. Vedio (II) M. Cassio (II) cos. ‡ MMDCCLIV a.u.c.. Since participating in Nova Roma as an early young citizen this love has lead to an academic passion in the history of ancient Roman medicine. For this he is forever indebted to Nova Roma.

Publius Claudius Caecus is a Sodalus Palatinus within the Public Religio of Nova Roma.^[1]

He also served as Aedilis Curulis in M. Octavio L. Sulla (II) cos. ‡ MMDCCLV a.u.c..[2]

Within his historical studies he has written academic manuscripts on the role of religion in ancient Greek and Roman medicine which have been published in the Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences.
