Roman Empire
The Roman Empire ( la, Imperium Romanum ; grc-gre, Βασιλεία τῶν Ῥωμαίων, Basileía tôn Rhōmaíōn) was the post-Republican period of ancient Rome. As a polity, it included large territorial holdings around the Mediterranean Sea in Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, and was ruled by emperors. From the accession of Caesar Augustus as the first Roman emperor to the military anarchy of the 3rd century, it was a Principate with Italia as the metropole of its provinces and the city of Rome as its sole capital. The Empire was later ruled by multiple emperors who shared control over the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire. The city of Rome remained the nominal capital of both parts until AD 476 when the imperial insignia were sent to Constantinople following the capture of the Western capital of Ravenna by the Germanic barbarians. The adoption of Christianity as the state church of the Roman Empire in AD 380 and the fall of the Western ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Aulus Larcius Macedo
Aulus Larcius Macedo was a Roman senator active in the early second century AD. He served as suffect consul for the ''nundinium'' of May to August 124 with Publius Ducenius Verres as his colleague. He is known primarily from inscriptions. Despite sharing the name of an ancient Patrician family, Macedo's origins were humble. His grandfather, Aulus Larcius Lydus, was a freedman;Eck"Miscellanea prosopographica" ''Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik'', 42 (1981), pp. 245f Cassius Dio mentions a Larcius Lydus who offered Nero one million sesterces to perform on the lyre; if they are the same man, it would suggest his grandfather had accumulated a fortune and used part of it to buy his freedom during the reign of that emperor. It is possible that his grandfather had been the slave of an ancestor of Aulus Larcius Priscus, consul in 110. Werner Eck writes there is no doubt that the homonymous senator Aulus Larcius Macedo, who achieved the rank of praetor, is the father of the consul. ...

List Of Early Imperial Roman Consuls
This is a list of consuls known to have held office, from the beginning of the Roman Republic to the latest use of the title in Imperial times, together with those magistrates of the Republic who were appointed in place of consuls, or who superseded consular authority for a limited period. Background Republican consuls From the establishment of the Republic to the time of Augustus, the consuls were the chief magistrates of the Roman state, and normally there were two of them, so that the executive power of the state was not vested in a single individual, as it had been under the kings. As other ancient societies dated historical events according to the reigns of their kings, it became customary at Rome to date events by the names of the consuls in office when the events occurred, rather than (for instance) by counting the number of years since the foundation of the city, although that method could also be used. If a consul died during his year of office, another was elected to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Titus Salvius Rufinus Minicius Opimianus
Titus Salvius Rufinus Minicius Opimianus was a Roman senator of the second century. He is known to have served as suffect consul in 123 with Gnaeus Sentius Aburnianus as his colleague. He is also attested as proconsul of Africa in 138/139. In discussing the inscription on a marble ''ara'' found in Ratiaria, a city in the Roman province of Upper Moesia, Ivo Topalilov identifies the Titus Minicius Opimianus who dedicated the ''ara'' to the goddess Diana with this senator, and based on the letter forms of the inscription he dates Opimianus' tenure between the years 126 and 129/130. Topalilov notes that "it is very likely that he might have also held another governorship" between the governorship of Moesia and proconsulship of Africa.Topalilov, "A New Governor of Moesia Superior", ''Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik'', 201 (2017), pp. 292-296 The origins of his family are not certain.

Lucius Nonius Calpurnius Torquatus Asprenas (suffect Consul)
Lucius Nonius Calpurnius Torquatus Asprenas was a Roman senator of the early Roman Empire, who flourished under the reigns of Nero and Vespasian. He was suffect consul around the year 78. Asprenas is commonly identified as the son of the senator Asprenas Calpurnius Torquatus. His father was awarded the ''cognomen'' "Torquatus" and a golden torque by the emperor Augustus when he fell from his horse in the Trojan Games. As the cognomen was hereditary, it came to be part of Asprenas' name, and appears as part of the names of his descendants. Career The ''cursus honorum'' of Asprenas is known from an inscription found at Lepcis Magna, which identifies him as the grandson of Lucius Nonius Asprenas, consul in AD 6 and three-time proconsular governor of Africa. The earliest office he is known to have held was as one of the ''tresviri monetalis'', most likely in his teens. This was the most prestigious of the four boards that comprise the ''vigintiviri''; assignment to this board was u ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Roman Senate
The Roman Senate ( la, Senātus Rōmānus) was a governing and advisory assembly in ancient Rome. It was one of the most enduring institutions in Roman history, being established in the first days of the city of Rome (traditionally founded in 753 BC). It survived the overthrow of the Roman monarchy in 509 BC; the fall of the Roman Republic in the 1st century BC; the division of the Roman Empire in AD 395; and the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476; Justinian's attempted reconquest of the west in the 6th century, and lasted well into the Eastern Roman Empire's history. During the days of the Roman Kingdom, most of the time the Senate was little more than an advisory council to the king, but it also elected new Roman kings. The last king of Rome, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, was overthrown following a coup d'état led by Lucius Junius Brutus, who founded the Roman Republic. During the early Republic, the Senate was politically weak, while the various executive magistr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
