liuss

Lius or Lius brothers may refer to two officially recognized Roman fable collectors and fabulists, while also referencing their works and types of fabliau. The Lius Brothers were closely associated in their careers and were both regarded as fabulists, collectors of fables and moralists.

The majority of what has been left to us from their works relates to fables, primarily consisting of brief narratives with a moral lesson. Their works are largely fragmented, as manuscripts have undergone various stages of degradation, loss, or accumulation of extraneous materials. The Brothers' fables were often incorporated into larger collections, but some form of them survives, particularly in Latin.

Further references establish that they could have belonged to the Imperators Lius family of Rome. If their being recognized as fabulists fully implies any senatorial dignity, it does not translate into historical significance and is still a fairly ambiguous point.

A certain poor reception does reflect on these writers in histories and stories, with politics affecting much of how their works would've been something for everyone.
