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] |
Auguste Allmer
Louis Christophe Auguste Allmer (8 July 1815 – 27 November 1899) was a 19th-century French historian and epigrapher. He contributed with Paul Dissard to change a fledgling science by confronting archaeological evidence and providing a reference documentation. Biography Like his father, he became tax collector in 1835 for the Ministry of Finance, among others in Saint-Priest (Rhône). Then, when he retired in 1868, he devoted himself to epigraphy and archeology. He was particularly interested in Roman remains unearthed by the drilling of the PLM line in Lyon. In his time he was one of the leading specialists of Latin epigraphy, in the tradition of Léon Renier. On 2 April 1875, he was made a chevalier of the Légion d'honneur as author of significant work in the field of archeology. From 1876, he became correspondent member of the Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres. Two years later, the city of Lyon appointed him a curator of its museums of epigraphy, numismatics ...

3rd-century Romans
The 3rd century was the period from 201 ( CCI) to 300 ( CCC) Anno Domini (AD) or Common Era (CE) in the Julian calendar.. In this century, the Roman Empire saw a crisis, starting with the assassination of the Roman Emperor Severus Alexander in 235, plunging the empire into a period of economic troubles, barbarian incursions, political upheavals, civil wars, and the split of the Roman Empire through the Gallic Empire in the west and the Palmyrene Empire in the east, which all together threatened to destroy the Roman Empire in its entirety, but the reconquests of the seceded territories by Emperor Aurelian and the stabilization period under Emperor Diocletian due to the administrative strengthening of the empire caused an end to the crisis by 284. This crisis would also mark the beginning of Late Antiquity. In Persia, the Parthian Empire was succeeded by the Sassanid Empire in 224 after Ardashir I defeated and killed Artabanus V during the Battle of Hormozdgan. The Sassan ...

Lucius Virius Lupus Iulianus
Lucius Virius Lupus Iulianus (fl. 3rd century AD) was a Roman military officer and senator who served as ''consul ordinarius'' in 232 alongside Lucius Marius Maximus. Biography Probably the son of Virius Lupus, suffect consul before AD 196, and a member of the third century ''gens Virii'', Iulianus had a long career serving in the Roman empire. His earliest known appointment was as one of the '' sevir equitum Romanorum'' of the annual review of the equites at Rome; this was followed by his appointment as the ''triumvir capitales'', or overseer of prisons and executions, which was one of the four magistracies that comprised the ''vigintiviri''.Mennen, p. 131 This was the least desirable of the four, for men who held that office rarely had a successful career: Anthony Birley could find only five ''tresviri capitales'' who went on to be governors of consular imperial provinces.

Sextus Catius Clementinus Priscillianus (fl. 3rd century AD) was a Roman military officer and senator who was appointed consul in AD 230.

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] |
Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (Latin: áːɾkus̠ auɾέːli.us̠ antɔ́ːni.us̠ English: ; 26 April 121 – 17 March 180) was Roman emperor from 161 to 180 AD and a Stoic philosopher. He was the last of the rulers known as the Five Good Emperors (a term coined some 13 centuries later by Niccolò Machiavelli), and the last emperor of the Pax Romana, an age of relative peace and stability for the Roman Empire lasting from 27 BC to 180 AD. He served as Roman consul in 140, 145, and 161. Marcus Aurelius was born during the reign of Hadrian to the emperor's nephew, the praetor Marcus Annius Verus, and the heiress Domitia Calvilla.
