The name Salvius
The name Salvius originates from ancient Rome. Although this article is straying from the usual technicalities of the Salvius robot I thought it would be interesting to write about some other Salviuses. Through history this name has been held by some extraordinary people the likes of which the world has not yet forgotten.
Just as an interesting fact, while considering different names for this robot I chose 'Salvius' because the robot is mostly 'salvaged' parts. I was looking for an unconventional name that was not stereotypical to a robot. I considered full three and four word names for Example: Walter Octavian Bonaparte, but somehow that just didn't fit the robot. Salvius was a character from the Cambridge series that I learned Latin from. I tried it and the name stuck. With that in mind, Gratias tibi, et exspecto commentario!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "
Salvius (died c. 100 BCE) was a flute player who was proclaimed king by the rebelling slaves of ancient Sicily during the Second Servile War. He assumed the name Tryphon, from Diodotus Tryphon, a Seleucid ruler. For some time, he waged war against the Romans.
Gaius Salvius Liberalis (fl. 80s CE) was a Roman aristocrat and general, who held civil office in Britain and a religious office in Rome.
The historical facts about him provide the basis for the fictional character Gaius Salvius Liberalis in the Cambridge Latin Course. He grew up in Italy and moved to Rome, where he became very successful in the position of a senator and lawyer. He then became an Arval Brother.
The Cambridge Latin Course (CLC) is a series of textbooks published by Cambridge University Press, used to teach Latin to secondary school students. First published in 1970, the series is now in its fifth edition, and has sold over 3.5 million copies. It has reached high status in the UK, being the most successful Latin course in the country and used by 85% of Latin-teaching schools.
Salvius or Sauve (fl. c. 580) was a bishop of Albi in Gaul who was later declared to be a saint."
In many cultures, names have been thought to have special properties. The Planes Indians believed that a name could be bought, sold, or even stolen.
