Flavia (gens)
The gens Flavia was a plebeian family at Rome. Its members are first mentioned during the last three centuries of the Republic. The first of the Flavii to achieve prominence was Marcus Flavius, Tribune of the plebs in 327 and 323 BC; however, no Flavius attained the consulship until Gaius Flavius Fimbria in 104 BC. The gens became illustrious during the first century AD, when the family of the Flavii Sabini claimed the imperial dignity.
Under the Empire, the number of persons bearing this nomen becomes very large, perhaps due to the great number of freedmen under the Flavian dynasty of emperors. It was a common practice for freedmen to assume the nomina of their patrons, and so countless persons who obtained the Roman franchise under the Flavian emperors adopted the name Flavius, which was then handed down to their descendants.
During the later period of the Empire, the name Flavius frequently descended from one emperor to another, beginning with Constantius, the father of Constantine the Great. The name became so ubiquitous that it was sometimes treated as a praenomen, to the extent of being regularly abbreviated Fl., and it is even described as a praenomen in some sources, although it was never truly used as a personal name. The last emperor to take the name was eastern emperor Constantine IV.

Violão E Voz
by: Ana CarolinaEu faço samba e amor a qualquer hora
De madrugada tem batucada
E eu tô afim de você
Ficar parado eu não agüento
Não quero viver a exemplo da vida dos santos
Eu não moro em São Francisco
Eu não moro em São Francisco
E você faça de mim um instrumento de sua paz
E sabe do que mais
Eu sou como o tambor que ressoa mais dentro
Dele
Que da pessoa
Eu faço samba e amor a qualquer hora
Por que não agora
Eu não posso perder você
Como quem perde um real e não nota não vê
Sem querer pisei num despacho
E saí cantando

Noel Rosa
Eu tenho você no coração
Ficar sozinho é pra quem tem coragem
Eu vou ler meu livro Cem Anos de Solidão
E nada melhor que ficar a sós com a voz e o violão
E nada melhor que ficar a sós com violão e voz
