Roman Governor
A Roman governor was an official either elected or appointed to be the chief administrator of Roman law throughout one or more of the many provinces constituting the Roman Empire. The generic term in Roman legal language was '' Rector provinciae,'' regardless of the specific titles, which also reflects the province's intrinsic and strategic status, and corresponding differences in authority. By the time of the early Empire, two types of provinces existed—senatorial and imperial—and several types of governor would emerge. Only ''proconsuls'' and ''propraetors'' fell under the classification of promagistrate. Duties of the governor The governor was the province's chief judge. He had the sole right to impose capital punishment, and capital cases were normally tried before him. To appeal a governor's decision necessitated travelling to Rome and presenting one's case before either the ''praetor urbanus'', or even the Emperor himself, an expensive, and thus rare, process.

Uttedius Honoratus
The gens Uttiedia, occasionally written Uttedia or Utiedia, was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. No members of this gens are mentioned by Roman writers, but several are known from epigraphy. Uttedius Honoratus was governor of Mauretania Tingitana in AD 144, and an Uttiedius Afer was consul designate in an uncertain year.''PIR'', vol. III, p. 492 ('U', No. 692). Origin The nomen ''Uttiedius'' belongs to a large class of ''gentilicia'' originally formed from cognomina ending in '. This type of nomen was so common that ' and ' came to be regarded as regular gentile-forming suffixes, and were applied to form gentilicia even from names that did not originally end in '. Praenomina The praenomina found in the extant inscriptions of the Uttiedii include ''Sextus'', ''Gaius'', and ''Lucius'', all of which were common throughout Roman history, as well as an example of the feminine praenomen ''Tertia''.

Gaius Sertorius Cattianus
The gens Sertoria was a minor plebeian family at ancient Rome. Few members of this gens appear in history, the most illustrious of whom was the Roman general Quintus Sertorius, who defied the dictator Sulla and his allies for a decade after the populares were driven from power in Rome.''Dictionary of Greek & Roman Biography & Mythology'', vol. III, pp. 789–792 ("Quintus Sertorius"). Origin The nomen ''Sertorius'' is a patronymic surname, derived from the rare praenomen '' Sertor''. Chase suggests that it was the equivalent of ''servator'', meaning "one who protects" or "preserves". Praenomina The Sertorii used a variety of common praenomina, including ''Gaius'', '' Gnaeus'', ''Lucius'', '' Publius'', ''Quintus'', and ''Titus''. Branches and cognomina The Sertorii of the Republic were not divided into distinct families. The general Sertorius was born at Nursia, in Sabinum, where his family had lived for several generations. In imperial times there was a family bearing the c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Aulus Scantius Larcianus
Aulus (abbreviated A.) is one of the small group of common forenames found in the culture of ancient Rome. The name was traditionally connected with Latin ''aula'', ''olla'', "palace", but this is most likely a false etymology. ''Aulus'' in fact probably derives from Etruscan ''Aule'', ''Avle'', ''Avile'', of unknown meaning. Aulus may refer to: * Aulus Agerius or Numerius Negidius (a name for the plaintiff in a lawsuit) * Aulus Atilius Calatinus * Aulus Avilius Flaccus * Aulus Ofilius * Aulus Caecina Alienus * Aulus Caecina Severus (suffect consul 1 BC) * Aulus Caecina Severus (writer) * Aulus Cornelius Celsus * Aulus Cornelius Cossus * Aulus Cremutius Cordus * Aulus Didius Gallus * Aulus Didius Gallus Fabricius Veiento * Aulus Gabinius * Aulus Gellius * Aulus Hirtius - consul after Caesar * Aulus Licinius Archias * Aulus Licinius Nerva Silianus * Aulus Metellus or Aule Metele * Aulus Paulinus - fictional governor of Britain in Chelmsford 123 * Aulus Persius Flaccus * Aulus Pla ...

Decimus Veturius Macrinus
Decimus Veturius Macrinus was a Roman '' eques'' who is known to have held imperial appointments under both emperors Commodus and Septimius Severus. He is best known for being governor of Roman Egypt under Commodus and praetorian prefect under Severus. Although J. E. H. Spaul offers a possible career path for him,Spaul"Governors of Tingitana" ''Antiquités africaines'', 30 (1994), p. 246 the earliest appointment known for Macrinus is as ''praefectus'' of Mauretania Tingitana; an altar he dedicated to the spirit of the Emperor Commodus, found at Volubilis, is dated to 13 October 180. This poses a problem, as has long been recognized, for his promotion to procurator began no later than 7 April 181 -- an impossibly quick rise through the ranks! Eric Birley suggested, based on a fragment of an inscription that records the name of a governor of Mauretania whose name began with a "D", that Macrinus was ''procurator Augusti utriusque Mauretaniae'', which would put him in an appropriately ...

Epidius Quadratus
Epidius (1st century BC) was an Ancient Roman rhetorician who taught the art of oratory towards the close of the republic, numbering Marcus Antonius and Octavianus among his scholars. His skill, however, was not sufficient to save him from a conviction for malicious accusation ('' calumnia''). We are told that he claimed descent from ''Epidius Nuncionus'' (the name is probably corrupted), a rural deity, who appears to have been worshipped upon the banks of the Sarnus (modern Sarno) in Campania.Suetonius, ''De Claris Rhetoribus''4 See also *Epidia (gens) The gens Epidia was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. The only members to achieve any importance lived during the first century BC. Origin According to Suetonius, The orator Epidius claimed to have been descended from a rural deity k ...

Publius Aelius Crispinus
Publius Aelius Crispinus was a Roman '' eques'' who held a number of appointments in the second century AD. He is known from a series of inscriptions. His public career is known from an inscription recovered from Bir Selmoun in modern Algeria. Crispinus had his start as a soldier, reaching the rank of centurion and twice achieving ''primus pilus''. After this he was appointed to several civilian positions, beginning with procurator or manager of the Emperor's properties in Hispania Tarraconensis, then procurator or governor of Mauretania Tingitana; an inscription found at Volubilis in modern Morocco allows us to date his tenure to 173. Crispinus then returned to Rome where he was appointed to ''procurator vicesima hereditatium'', or overseer of the inheritance tax of 5%; J. E. H. Spaul notes this order was unusual, as other known ''equites'' (e.g. Publius Besius Betuinianus, and Marcus Gavius Maximus) were appointed as overseers of the inheritance tax then to the governorship.

Titus Coiedius Maximus
Titus Caesar Vespasianus ( ; 30 December 39 – 13 September 81 AD) was Roman emperor from 79 to 81. A member of the Flavian dynasty, Titus succeeded his father Vespasian upon his death. Before becoming emperor, Titus gained renown as a military commander, serving under his father in Judea during the First Jewish–Roman War. The campaign came to a brief halt with the death of emperor Nero in 68, launching Vespasian's bid for the imperial power during the Year of the Four Emperors. When Vespasian was declared Emperor on 1 July 69, Titus was left in charge of ending the Jewish rebellion. In 70, he besieged and captured Jerusalem, and destroyed the city and the Second Temple. For this achievement Titus was awarded a triumph; the Arch of Titus commemorates his victory to this day. During his father's rule, Titus gained notoriety in Rome serving as prefect of the Praetorian Guard, and for carrying on a controversial relationship with the Jewish queen Berenice.
