Can you please tell me a few more things about Valens van Varro?

The wiki page I linked to includes a small bio section about him:

Despite the general lack of information about Vanvarro's origins or early life, it is known that Vanvarro had a number of connections with the Garlean Empire in the early part of the XIVth century:

First, he is named after the renowned Roman consul Valens, one of the most feared Roman generals during the Third Punic War and later proconsul of Lusitania. He was known for his ruthless and ruthless efficiency in crushing his opponents and his mercilessness in dealing the death sentence to his enemies.

Second, Vanvarro shares a name with the great poet, historian and philosopher Vannarion Vanvarro, a renowned philologist and expert on the history of the Roman empire. He wrote a history of the Roman empire under Justinian I and was the first to propose the idea of a Roman chronicle, which was later adopted by Emperor Charlemagne to compile the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. He also translated some of the most famous texts of Greek literature into Latin, among them tragedies of Euripides.

Lastly, Vanvarro was named after the famous general and writer Varro of Alba Fucens, who was born in an obscure village of the Apennine Peninsula. It was during the reign of Nero that Varro became famous as a military general, where his reputation grew as he was an avid supporter of the Flavians (the family name of the rulers of Rome from 62 BC to 59 BC) and was rewarded for his services during the Second War of the Roman Republic with appointment as consul. Despite of this fact, Vanvarro seems to have disliked and distrusted the Flavians and preferred the previous Caesarian rulers of Rome. He was banished for his political dissent and later exiled in 62 BC, when his old rival Caesar was assassinated. As a result, Varro moved to Ravenna in northern Italy. There he wrote a history of Rome in which the events from Augustus to Augustus are described as if they were taking place concurrently. Vanvarro was so well-respected that the name of his city was changed from Alba Fucens to Alba Julia or Alba Varro in his honor.

At some point between 62 and 60 BC, Vannarion van Varro was moved to the island of Aegaea (now the city of Massilia in France). At some point in Massilia Varro met another exiled writer, named Columella, with whom he is said to have had "a stormy relationship."

Vanvarro eventually returned to Roman territory and became the private tutor of the future Emperor Nero. He then moved to Collegeti, a wealthy Roman city between Rome and Caput Varianum, where he wrote a work on Roman agriculture, in which he described the use of the vineyard and olive garden, and the raising of bees.

Vanvarro's last years are clouded in mystery. According to Suetonius, his last letter was written in March of 49, but we are not provided with the contents of the letter. Suetonius, however, reports that when Vanvarro heard Nero was having trouble with his wife, he went to see him, "and said, 'A woman who does not know fear is no woman at all.'"

Alba Fucens era una città che era assorta sul limitare del bacino del Fucino. Conosciuta per la presenza di un anfiteatro ellittico di origine romana che però si sposa perfettamente con la scenografia attorno fatta di montagne bellissime come il massiccio del Velino con le sue due vette gemelle.

On one of our first trips we went to the little ancient Roman town of Alba Fucens. It is still one of my favorites. The day ended with a double rainbow too :)
