Marcus Manlius Vulso (consular Tribune 420 BC)
Marcus Manlius Vulso was a consular tribune of the Roman Republic in 420 BC. Manlius belonged to the Manlia gens, an ancient and influential patrician family. Manlius was the son of a Gnaeus Manlius Vulso, who should probably be identified with the consul of 474 BC or an otherwise unattested son of the consul. If the consul is his father then Aulus Manlius Vulso, the decemviri of 451 BC, would have been his brother. Filiations indicate that Publius Manlius Vulso, consular tribune in 400 BC, was the son of Manlius. Consular tribune In 420 BC Manlius was elected as consular tribune together with Lucius Furius Medullinus, Aulus Sempronius Atratinus and either Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus or his brother Titus Quinctius Poenus Cincinnatus (see their individual articles for discussion in regards to identification). This was the first time Manlius held '' imperium'' but his colleagues were all experienced holders, having all been consulars previously. For reasons unknown the e ...

Tribuni Militum Consulari Potestate
A consular tribune was putatively a type of magistrate in the early Roman Republic. According to Roman tradition, colleges of consular tribunes held office throughout the fifth and fourth centuries BC during the so-called "Conflict of the Orders". The ancient historian Livy offered two explanations: the Roman state could have needed more magistrates to support its military endeavours; alternatively, the consular tribunate was offered in lieu of the ordinary consulship to plebeians so to maintain a patrician lock on the consulship. Modern views have challenged this account for various reasons. No consular tribune ever celebrated a triumph and appointment of military dictators was unabated through this period. Furthermore, the vast majority of consular tribunes elected were patrician. Some modern scholars believe the consular tribunes were elected to support Rome's expanded military presence in Italy or otherwise to command detachments and armies. More critical views believe t ...

Vestal Virgin
In ancient Rome, the Vestal Virgins or Vestals ( la, Vestālēs, singular ) were priestesses of Vesta, virgin goddess of Rome's sacred hearth and its flame. The Vestals were unlike any other public priesthood. They were chosen before puberty from a number of suitable candidates, freed from any legal ties and obligations to their birth family, and enrolled in Vesta's priestly college of six priestesses. They were supervised by a senior vestal but chosen and governed by Rome's leading male priest, the ; in the Imperial era, this meant the emperor. Successful acolytes vowed to serve Vesta for at least thirty years, to study and practise her rites in service of the Roman State, and to maintain their chastity throughout. As well as their obligations on behalf of Rome, Vestals had extraordinary rights and privileges, some of which were granted to no others, male or female. The Vestals took it in turns to supervise Vesta's hearth, so that at least one Vestal was stationed there at a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Titus Quinctius Capitolinus Barbatus (consul 421 BC)
Titus Quinctius Capitolinus Barbatus was a consul of the Roman Republic in 421 BC. Quinctius belonged to the Quinctia gens, one of the early Republics most influential patrician families. Quinctius was the son of Titus Quinctius Capitolinus Barbatus, a six time consul, and nephew of the famous dictator Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. Consulship In 421 BC Quinctius was elected as consul together with Numerius Fabius Vibulanus. The year saw war against the Aequi and great military success for Quinctius's colleague Fabius, who celebrated an ovatio (minor triumph) for his victories. The year also saw the consuls overseeing the institution of a new law increasing the number of Quaestors from two to four.Chronograph of 354 (Capitolino et Vivullano) Consular tribune In 405 BC, sixteen years after his consulship, Quinctius was elected as one of the Consular tribunes as the most senior member of the consular college.

Numerius Fabius Vibulanus
__NOTOC__ Numerius (or Gnaeus) Fabius Vibulanus ( 421–407 BC) was a Roman senator and military commander. As consul in 421 BC, he campaigned successfully against the Aequi, for which he was awarded an ovation. During his term in office, Fabius and his colleague, Titus Quinctius, also carried a law which increased the number of quaestors from two to four. Fabius was later a consular tribune in 415 and 407 BC. In 407 BC, Fabius and the other tribunes oversaw the loss of Verrugo to the Volscians. Censor? Fabius could have been one of the unknown censors who completed the '' lustrum'' in between 417 and 404 BC as suggested by the classicist Jaakko Suolahti. Suolahti, drawing from the fact that the census described in 403 is numbered ''lustrum XVI'' and counting from ''lustrum X'' which was held in 459 BC only gives us four pairs of censors (in 443, 435, 430 and 418 BC), thus a missing ''lustrum XV''.

List Of Roman Republican 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] |

Livy
Titus Livius (; 59 BC – AD 17), known in English as Livy ( ), was a Ancient Rome, Roman historian. He wrote a monumental history of Rome and the Roman people, titled , covering the period from the earliest legends of Rome before the traditional founding in 753 BC through the reign of Augustus in Livy's own lifetime. He was on familiar terms with members of the Julio-Claudian dynasty and a friend of Augustus, whose young grandnephew, the future emperor Claudius, he exhorted to take up the writing of history. Life Livy was born in Patavium in northern Italy (Roman Empire), Italy, now modern Padua, probably in 59 BC. At the time of his birth, his home city of Patavium was the second wealthiest on the Italian peninsula, and the largest in the province of Cisalpine Gaul (northern Italy).

Chronograph Of 354
The ''Chronograph of 354'' (or "Chronography"), also known as the ''Calendar of 354'', is a compilation of chronological and calendrical texts produced in 354 AD for a wealthy Roman Christian named Valentinus by the calligrapher and illustrator Furius Dionysius Filocalus. The original illustrated manuscript is lost, but several copies have survived. It is the earliest dated codex to have full page illustrations.

Other versions of the names ("Philocalus", "Codex-Calendar of 354", "Chronography of 354") are occasionally used. The text and illustrations are available online. Amongst other historically significant information, the work contains the earliest reference to the celebration of Christmas as an annual holiday or feast, on , although unique historical dates had been mentioned much earlier by Hippolytus of Rome during 2 ...

Quaestor
A ( , , ; "investigator") was a public official in Ancient Rome. There were various types of quaestors, with the title used to describe greatly different offices at different times. In the Roman Republic, quaestors were elected officials who supervised the state treasury and conducted audits. When assigned to provincial governors, the duties were mainly administrative and logistical, but also could expand to encompass military leadership and command. It was the lowest ranking position in the ' (course of offices); by the first century BC, one had to have been quaestor to be eligible for any other posts. In the Roman Empire, the position initially remained as assistants to the magistrates with financial duties in the provinces, but over time, it faded away in the face of the expanding imperial bureaucracy. A position with a similar name (the ') emerged during the Constantinian period with judicial responsibilities. Etymology ''Quaestor'' derives from the Latin verb ', ' ...

Sextus Pompilius
Sextus is an ancient Roman ''praenomen'' or "first name". Its standard abbreviation is Sex., and the feminine form would be Sexta. It is one of the numeral ''praenomina'', like Quintus ("fifth") and Decimus ("tenth"), and means "sixth".

Similar names were used among the Sabellians. The ''gens'' name Sextius is a related form.E.T. Salmon, ''Samnium and the Samnites'' (Cambridge University Press, 1967, 2010), pp. 53, 156.
