Chamitataxus avitus is the only known species of the genus. Chamitataxus lived during the Late Miocene , around 6 million years ago in what is now North America . Out of the three Taxidiinae taxidiine badgers to have existed on the continent, Chamitataxus is the most primitive. Very few taxidiine badger remains have been uncovered to date, with only prehistoric Taxidea and Pliotaxidea specimens being discovered prior to the Chamitataxus holotype being found. Description Chamitataxus is known only from a single holotype found in 1935, which consists of a nearly complete skull . The holotype was discovered in a quarry not far from Lyden , New Mexico , where the prehistoric herbivore Osbornoceros was also discovered. Chamitataxus was indeed named after the rock formation it was discovered in, the Chamita Formation . Due to the relative lack of Chamitataxus specimens, much of the research into the genus is based upon research into better represented taxa related to Chamitataxus , such as Taxidea , the modern American badger, which also existed in the Late Miocene. Chamitataxus was fairly similar to its modern day relatives in most respects it was a carnivore and judging from the skull found, it looked fairly similar. However, because so little of Chamitataxus has been found, estimating its size and other features is impossible much is unknown about the genus. Chamitataxus had a very good sense of smell and had a firm grip like its modern equivalent and this enabled Chamitataxus to kill burrowing ... more details

Aulus Licinius Archias fl. ca. 120 BC 61 BC was a Roman Greece Greek poet born in Antioch in Syria modern Antakya in Turkey . In 102 BC, his reputation having been already established, especially as an improvisatore , he went to Rome , where he was well received amongst the highest and most influential families. His chief patron was Lucullus , whose gentile name he assumed. In 93 BC he visited Sicily with his patron, on which occasion he received the Roman citizen citizenship of Heraclea Lucania Lucanian Heraclea , one of the federate towns, and indirectly, by the provisions of the Lex Plautia Papiria , that of Rome. In 62 BC he was accused by a certain Gratius of having assumed the citizenship illegally and Cicero successfully defended him in his speech Pro Archia . This speech, which furnishes nearly all the information concerning Archias, states that he had celebrated the deeds of Gaius Marius and Lucullus in the Cimbrian wars Cimbrian and Mithridatic Wars , and that he was engaged upon a poem of which the events of Cicero s consul ship formed the subject. The Greek Anthology contains thirty five epigram s under the name of Archias, but it is doubtful how many of these if any are his work. wikisourcelang el References Steven M.
