Maximus

The History of the Gens Maxima takes its origin in the Ara Maxima Herculis Invicti (Great Altar of the invincible Hercules). It was built by King Evander (meaning good, strongman), a man who hailed from Arcadia, following the hero Hercules' victory over Cacus, the fire-breathing giant son of Vulcan, on the banks of the Tiber. It is the oldest and most revered shrine for Hercules in Latium being one of the first cities, Pallatium, of Romanum.

King Evander, who brought the Greek pantheon, laws, and alphabet to Italy, gave the guardianship of the Alter to the first and honored Maximus. The Clan have cared for it since.
