After the Social War (91-88 BCE, with the Samnites holding out to 87 BCE), a part of the family moved to Rome, with a couple of them becoming Senators. However, one of the Senators was expelled, and also disowned his Senator Son. &quot;No one has a saisfactory reason for this scene...<b>&quot; Hmmm... I wonder; this guy came from a Rebel Family (Samnites), who were virtually exterminated after the Social War by Sulla.
