Aemilia (gens)
The gens Aemilia, originally written Aimilia, was one of the greatest patrician families at ancient Rome. The gens was of great antiquity, and claimed descent from Numa Pompilius, the second King of Rome. Its members held the highest offices of the state, from the early decades of the Republic to imperial times.''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', vol. I, p. 30 ("Aemilia Gens"). The Aemilii were almost certainly one of the ''gentes maiores'', the most important of the patrician families. Their name was associated with three major roads (the ''Via Aemilia'', the ''Via Aemilia Scauri'', and the '), an administrative region of Italy, and the Basilica Aemilia at Rome. Origin Several stories were told of the foundation of the Aemilii, of which the most familiar was that their ancestor, Mamercus, was the son of Numa Pompilius. In the late Republic, several other gentes claimed descent from Numa, including the Pompilii, Pomponii, Calpurnii, and Pinarii. ...

Aemilia Tertia
Aemilia Tertia, also known as Aemilia Paulla (c. 230–163 or 162 BC), was the wife of the Roman consul and censor Scipio Africanus. She was the daughter, possibly the third surviving daughter, of the consul Lucius Aemilius Paullus and the sister of the consul Lucius Aemilius Paullus Macedonicus. Family background Aemilia belonged to the patrician gens Aemilia, one of the most famous families of the Roman Republic. Roman women of the Middle Republic customarily bore their father's family name and were sometimes distinguished by their birth order. As with men named ''Quintus'' ("the Fifth") or ''Sextus'' ("the Sixth"), a name such as ''Tertia'' may not always mean a woman had two older sisters. Valerius Maximus gives her name as ''Tertia Aemilia'', "the wife of Scipio Africanus and the mother of Cornelia." Aemilia is not known to have had sisters. Aemilia Tertia's marriage to Scipio Africanus took place no later than 215 BC. They were very happily married, according to Liv ...

Aemilia Hilaria
Aemilia Hilaria (c. 300 – c. 363) was a Gallo-Roman physician. She practiced medicine, and wrote books on gynecology and obstetrics. She was called "Hilaria" due to her cheerfulness as a baby. Early life Aemilia was born in the Roman Empire, the area of present Moselle, France. She was the daughter of Caecilius Agricius Arborius and Aemilia Corinthia Maura, both poor nobles from Gaul. Physician She continued to live in the area as an adult and became a physician there. Aemilia was the maternal aunt of Ausonius, a Gallo-Roman senator who became tutor to the Emperor Gratian. Ausonius wrote a series of biographical poems about his family members, including Ameilia, called ''Parentalia''. Everything we know today about Aemilia and her family comes from ''Parentalia''. His poem about his aunt described her as a "dedicated virgin", who rejected marriage in order to further her career. He described her as "trained in the medical arts as well as any man." He called her an honest and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aemilia Lepida
Aemilia Lepida is the name of several ancient Roman women belonging to the ''gens Aemilia''. The name was given to daughters of men belonging to the Lepidus branch of the Aemilius family. The first Aemilia Lepida to be mentioned by Roman historians was the former fiancée of the younger Cato. Subsequent Aemiliae are known because of their marriages. Aemilia Lepida (1st century BC), wife of Metellus Scipio This Aemilia was daughter of Mamercus Aemilius Lepidus Livianus, wife of Metellus Scipio and former fiancée of Cato. Her daughter was Cornelia Metella, last wife and widow of Pompey the Great. Although Aemilia Lepida was engaged to be married to Cato the Younger, she in fact married someone else, leaving Cato to marry Atilia. In the words of Plutarch: When atothought that he was old enough to marry — and up to that time he had consorted with no woman — he engaged himself to Lepida, who had formerly been betrothed to Metellus Scipio, but was now free, since Scipio had reje ...

Emilia (region Of Italy)
Emilia ( egl, Emeja / Emégglia / Emélia) is a historical region of northern Italy, which approximately corresponds to the western and the north-eastern portions of the modern region of Emilia-Romagna, with the area of Romagna forming the remainder of the modern region. Etymology Emilia takes its name from the Via Aemilia, a Roman road constructed by the consul Marcus Aemilius Lepidus in 187 BCE to connect Rimini with Piacenza. The name was transferred to the district (which formed the eighth Augustan region of Italy) as early as the time of Martial, in popular usage. In the 2nd and 3rd centuries Aemilia was frequently named as a district under imperial judges (), generally in combination with Flaminia or Liguria and Tuscia. The district of Ravenna was, as a rule, from the 3rd to the 5th century, not treated as part of Aemilia, the chief town of the latter being Placentia (Piacenza). In the 4th century Aemilia and Liguria were joined to form a consular province; after that A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Via Aemilia
The ( it, Via Emilia; en, Aemilian Way) was a trunk Roman road in the north Italian plain, running from ''Ariminum'' (Rimini), on the Adriatic coast, to ''Placentia'' (Piacenza) on the river ''Padus'' ( Po). It was completed in 187 BC. The ''Via Aemilia'' connected at Rimini with the Via Flaminia, which had been completed 33 years earlier, to Rome. History The land today known as northern Italy (''Italia settentrionale'') was known to the ancient Romans during the republican period (to 44 BC) as Gallia Cisalpina (literally: Gaul on the near – i.e. southern – side of the Alps) because it was then inhabited by Celtic tribes from Gaul, who had colonised the area in the 4th and 5th centuries BC. ''Italia'' meant the area inhabited by Italic tribes: the border between ''Italia'' and ''Gallia Cisalpina'' was roughly a line between ''Pisae'' (Pisa) and ''Ariminum''. ''Gallia Cisalpina'' contained the Pianura padana (Po river plain). This vast country, by far the largest f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aemilia (moth)
''Aemilia'' is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae described by William Forsell Kirby in 1892. It was initially named ''Ameles'', but this name properly refers to a praying mantis genus. A group of species closely related to the red-banded aemilia (''"A." ambigua'') was formerly placed in the genus (though only uneasily so). The species has recently been moved to the revalidated genus '' Pseudohemihyalea''. Selected species Species of ''Aemilia'' include: * '' Aemilia affinis'' (Rothschild, 1909) * '' Aemilia asignata'' Hampson, 1901 * '' Aemilia castanea'' Joicey & Talbot, 1916 * '' Aemilia crassa'' (Walker, 865 * '' Aemilia fanum'' (Druce, 1900) * '' Aemilia melanchra'' Schaus, 1905 * '' Aemilia mincosa'' (Druce, 1906) * '' Aemilia ockendeni'' (Rothschild, 1909) * '' Aemilia pagana'' (Schaus, 1894) * '' Aemilia peropaca'' (Seitz, 1920) * '' Aemilia rubriplaga'' (Walker, 1855) * '' Aemilia tabaconas'' (Joicey & Talbot, 1916) * '' Aemilia testudo'' Hampson, 1901 Fo ...

159 Aemilia
Aemilia (minor planet designation: 159 Aemilia) is a large main-belt asteroid. Aemilia was discovered by the French brothers Paul Henry and Prosper Henry on January 26, 1876. The credit for this discovery was given to Paul. It is probably named after the Via Aemilia, a Roman road in Italy that runs from Piacenza to Rimini. This slowly rotating, dark asteroid has a primitive carbonaceous composition, based upon its classification as a C-type asteroid. Photometric observations made in 2006 gave a rotation period of about 25 hours. Subsequent observations made at the Oakley Observatory in Terre Haute, Indiana found a light curve period of 16.37 ± 0.02 hours, with variation in brightness of 0.24 ± 0.04 in magnitude. It orbits within the Hygiea family, although it may be an unrelated interloping asteroid, as it is too big to have arisen from the cratering process that most probably produced that family.

Dutch Ship Aemilia (1632)
The ''Aemilia'' was the flagship of Lieutenant-Admiraal Maarten Harpertszoon Tromp during part of the Eighty Years' War. She was a Dutch 46-gun (later increased in 1637 to 57-gun) ship of the line. Built by Jan Salomonszoon van den Tempel for the Admiralty of Rotterdam in 1632, the ship was the largest Dutch warship built up to that time. Dimensions The gundeck length of this ship was measured at 132 Maas feet, equivalent to 144 Amsterdam feet or 133 ft 8 in (in English Imperial measurements). The maximum breadth was 32 Maas feet (equal to 35 ft 3 in Amsterdam feet, or 32 ft 6 in Imperial), and the depth in hold was 13½ Maas feet (equal to 14 ft 2 inches in Amsterdam feet, or 13 ft Imperial). Service history In 1635, the ship served as the flagship of Vice-Admiraal Witte Corneliszoon de With. In 1636, now carrying 54 guns, the ''Aemilia'', under Kapitein Gerrit Meyndertszoon den Uyl, was the flagship of Lieutenant-Admiraal Philip van Dorp. She was refi ...

Emilia (given Name)
Emilia is a feminine Italian given name of Latin origin. The name is popular all over Europe and the Americas. The corresponding masculine name is Emilio. Emily is the English form of the Italian name. Etymology Emilia is derived from '' Aemilia'', the feminine form of the Latin nomen '' Aemilius''. The name is likely derived from the same root as the Latin word ''aemulus'', which means to rival, excel, or emulate, but this may be a folk etymology. Although similar Germanic names like Amalia may appear to be related to Emilia, Emily and Aemilia, they in fact have a different origin. In Greek, it is often written in the form "Αιμιλία" cognate to the Balkan Mountains of Haemus "Αίμος" and the ancient and modern greek word for blood "Αίμα". Popularity , records indicate that more than 13,500 girls in the United States have been named Emilia since 1880, with numbers increasing markedly from the year 2000.
