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] |
Publius Cluvius Maximus Paullinus
Publius Cluvius Maximus Paullinus (died AD 157 or 158) was a Roman senator, who held a number of imperial appointments during the reigns of Hadrian and Antoninus Pius. He was suffect consul during an undetermined ''nundinium'' between 139 and 143. He is known entirely from inscriptions. His relationship to Gaius Marius Marcellus Octavius Publius Cluvius Rufus, suffect consul in 78, is unknown. The polyonymous nature of the name of this earlier consul suggests he was born Publius Cluvius and adopted by one Gaius Marius Marcellus. Life An inscription from Labicum, where Paullinus and his son Publius Cluvius Maximus Paullinus are buried, provides us the details of his ''cursus honorum''. He began his career as a member of the ''quattuorviri viarum curandarum'', or overseer of the streets and public places of Rome, one of the magistracies that comprised the '' vigintiviri''; membership in one of these four boards was a preliminary and required first step toward a gaining entry i ...

Quintus Anicius Faustus
Quintus Anicius Faustus (fl. late 2nd century – early 3rd century AD) was a Roman military officer and senator who was appointed suffect consul in AD 198. Biography Born either in Uzappa in the province of Numidia, or in Praeneste in Italia, it has been speculated that Anicius Faustus was possibly the son of a Sextus Anicius Saturninus and Seia Maxima. A member of the third century ''gens Anicia'' and a ''novus homo'', Faustus was appointed the ''Legatus Augusti pro praetore'' (or imperial governor) of the province of Numidia by the emperor Septimius Severus, a position he held from AD 197 – 201. During this time he built several defensive forts of the Limes Tripolitanus, in southern Numidia and in Tripolitania, in order to protect the province from the raids of nomadic tribes. Anicius Faustus was appointed '' consul suffectus in absentia'' in AD 198, while serving in Numidia. This was followed by his posting as ''Legatus Augusti pro praetore'' of Moesia Superior, which he ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Publius Helvius Pertinax
Publius Helvius Pertinax (; 1 August 126 – 28 March 193) was Roman emperor for the first three months of 193. He succeeded Commodus to become the first emperor during the tumultuous Year of the Five Emperors. Born the son of a freed slave, Pertinax became an officer in the army. He fought in the Roman–Parthian War of 161–166, where his success led him to be promoted to higher positions in both the military and political spheres. He achieved the rank of provincial governor and urban prefect. He was a member of the Roman Senate, serving at the same time as the historian Cassius Dio. Following the death of Commodus, Pertinax was proclaimed emperor. He attempted to institute several reform measures, although the short duration of his reign as emperor prevented the success of those attempts. One of those reforms, the restoration of discipline among the Praetorian Guard, led to conflict that eventually culminated in Pertinax's assassination by the Guard. Pertinax would be de ...

Marcus Macrinius Avitus Catonius Vindex
Marcus Macrinius Avitus Catonius Vindex ( 134 – 176) was a Roman senator who was active during the reign of Marcus Aurelius. Originally a member of the equestrian order, Vindex demonstrated courage and intelligence that led to his award of ''dona militaria'' and elevation into the Senate, followed by his appointment to the consulate, which Géza Alföldy dates to an undetermined ''nundinium'' around the year 175. Family background The family origins of the Macrinii Vindices are unusual. Anthony Birley notes the possibility – "however remote" – that Vindex came from Camulodunum (modern Colchester) in Britannia. Birley notes the only ''equites'' attested as living in Britain, Macr .. was a resident of that city; he also notes Vindex was enrolled in the Roman tribe ''Claudia'', to which Camulodunum belonged. While Alföldy offers Camuldounum as one possibility, he also mentions Colonia Agrippa as equally plausible alternative, but in any case Vindex came from one of the West ...

Marcus Claudius Fronto
Marcus Claudius Fronto (killed in battle AD 170) was a Roman senator and Consul, and a general in the Imperial Roman army during the reigns of emperors Antoninus Pius (r. 138–61), Marcus Aurelius (r. 161–80), and Lucius Verus (r. 161–69). Sources Despite his important military role under Marcus Aurelius, Fronto's existence is only known from two inscriptions, both of which contain a summary of his career: # CIL III 01457, a dedication to Fronto (possibly on the base of a statue), when he was governor of Dacia in 168–170, by the citizens of Colonia Traiana Sarmizegetusa, a Roman colony, in which he is praised as "patron, bravest of men, most generous of governors" (''patrono fortissimo viro amplissimo praeside'') # CIL VI 41142, an epitaph engraved on the plinth of his statue, erected in his honour in the Forum of Trajan in Rome. The lack of mention of Fronto in surviving literary sources for this period is unsurprising, as they are extremely sparse and fragmentary. ...

Birley, ''The Fasti of Roman Britain'', (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1981), p. 253 Life Based on his membership in the Pollia tribe, Justus' origin is thought to be in north Italy.
