4. Cn.SemproniusBlaesus, legate in B. C. 210 to the dictator Q. Fulvius Flaccus, by whom he was sent into Etruria to command the army which had been under the praetor C. Calpurnius. (Liv. 27.5.) It is not improbable that this Cn. Blaesus may be the same as No. 3, as Cn. is very likely a false reading for C., since we find none of the Sempronii at this period with the former praenomen, while the latter is the most common one.
