Marcus Livius Salinator

Salinator - Meaning "salt-dealer." While the surname "Salinator" is also found in other gentes, it was an especially noted surname of the Livii due to it having been given to Marcus Livius Salinator (consul of 219 and 207 BCE) when, as censor in 204 BCE, he contrived and imposed a higher taxed price for salt (a valuable commodity) in the country towns and markets than in Rome, in retaliation for the resentment Salinator felt over how he had been shabbily treated by these townspeople,
