Gnaeus Arrius Cornelius Proculus
Gnaeus Arrius Cornelius Proculus was a Roman senator who held at least one appointment in the emperor's service. His career is primarily known through inscriptions. The combination of Proculus' praenomen and nomen led Olli Salomies to observe, "Cn. Arrii are, unlike Cn. Cornelii, not numerous at all, but there is Cn. Arrius Antoninus cos. 69 ... and (Antoninus' grandson?) Cn. Arrius Augur cos. ord. 121." Thus Salomies agreed with Edmund Groag that there is a connection between Proculus and Arrius Augur (perhaps the former was the latter's grandson by adoption), as opposed to the possibility that he "was a Cn. Cornelius whose mother (or some other relative) was an Arria." Only two offices are known for Proculus. The inscription of Opramoas attests that Proculus was governor of Lycia et Pamphylia at least as early as September 139 until the following year; the same inscription indicates Julius Aquilinus succeeded him in 141. The other office Proculus held was suffect consul for ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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] |
Lucius Plautius Lamia Silvanus
Lucius Plautius Lamia Silvanus (c. 110 – aft. 145) was a Roman senator. Life He was suffect consul for the '' nundinium'' of March-April 145 with Lucius Poblicola Priscus as his colleague. Silvanus was the son of Lucius Fundanius Lamia Aelianus and wife Rupilia. According to the '' Augustan History'', Silvanus married Aurelia Fadilla (died 135), daughter of Antoninus Pius and Faustina the Elder. The ''Augustan History'' claims that Fabia Orestilla, the wife of Gordian I, was a descendant of the Emperor Antoninus Pius through her father Fulvus Antoninus, a descendant of Silvanus.''Historia Augusta'', The Three Gordians, 17.4 Modern historians have dismissed this name and her information as false, as they believe his wife was the granddaughter of the Greek Sophist, consul, and tutor Herodes Atticus .

Suffect Consuls Of Imperial Rome
A consul held the highest elected political office of the Roman Republic ( to 27 BC), and ancient Romans considered the consulship the second-highest level of the ''cursus honorum'' (an ascending sequence of public offices to which politicians aspired) after that of the censor. Each year, the Centuriate Assembly elected two consuls to serve jointly for a one-year term. The consuls alternated in holding ''fasces'' – taking turns leading – each month when both were in Rome and a consul's ''imperium'' extended over Rome and all its provinces. There were two consuls in order to create a check on the power of any individual citizen in accordance with the republican belief that the powers of the former kings of Rome should be spread out into multiple offices. To that end, each consul could veto the actions of the other consul. After the establishment of the Empire (27 BC), the consuls became mere symbolic representatives of Rome's republican heritage and held very little p ...

Marcus Pontius Laelianus
Marcus Pontius Laelianus Larcius Sabinus was a Roman senator and general who held a series of offices in the emperor's service. He was suffect consul for the ''nundinium'' of July-August 145 as the colleague of Quintus Mustius Priscus. Laelianus is primarily known through inscriptions. Origins and family According to Anthony Birley, the origin of Laelianus is indicated by his tribe, ''Pupina'', whose members are found only in Italy "with the single exception of Baeterrae in Narbonensis, where he served twice." Birley suggests that his origins lie in Gallia Narbonensis, although an Italian origin "is slightly more likely." In his monograph on Roman naming practices of the period, Olli Salomies writes that Laelianus is "probably" a son of the Pontius Laelianus mentioned in the ''Testamentum Dasumii''.Salomies, ''Adoptive and Polyonymous Nomenclature in the Roman Empire'' (Helsinki: Societas Scientiarum Fennica, 1992), p. 142 Other members of his family include: a son, Marcu ...

Decius Junius Paetus
Gaius Messius Quintus Traianus Decius ( 201 ADJune 251 AD), sometimes translated as Trajan Decius or Decius, was the emperor of the Roman Empire from 249 to 251. A distinguished politician during the reign of Philip the Arab, Decius was proclaimed emperor by his troops after putting down a rebellion in Moesia. In 249, he defeated and killed Philip near Verona and was recognized as emperor by the Senate afterwards. During his reign, he attempted to strengthen the Roman state and its religion, leading to the Decian persecution, where a number of prominent Christians (including Pope Fabian) were put to death. In the last year of his reign, Decius co-ruled with his son Herennius Etruscus, until they were both killed by the Goths in the Battle of Abritus. Early life and rise to power Gaius Messius Quintus Traianus Decius was an Illyrian born at Budalia, Illyricum, near Sirmium in Pannonia Inferior.

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] |
