Flavia's arrogant cousin, twelve-year oldAulus Jr dislikes the Blues almost as much as Flavia.

Nine-year old Hyacinth is the Senator's eldest daughter who is on reportedly bad terms with her older brother.

[edit] Quintus and Sextus Cornix

The Senator's twin sons, Quintus and Sextus are Aulus Jr's largest source of annoyance.
