CAIUS VALERIUS, an ancient Latin poet, of whom we have very imperfect accounts remaining. He wrote a poem on the Argonautic expedition; of which, however, he did not live to finish the eighth book, dying at about 30 years of age. John Baptista Pius, an Italian poet, completed the eighth book of the Argonautics; and added two more from the fourth of Apollonius; which supplement was first added to Aldus's edition in 1523.

FLAGS, in the army, are small banners of distinction stuck in the baggage waggons to distinguish the baggage of one brigade from another; and of one battalion from another; that they may be marshalled by the waggon-master general according to the rank of their brigades, to avoid the confusion that might otherwise arise.
