Publius Martius Verus
Publius Martius Verus was a Roman senator and general. He was twice consul. Verus played a major role in the suppression of the revolt of Avidius Cassius by remaining loyal to the emperor Marcus Aurelius. Life Verus came from the Roman colony of Tolosa in Gallia Narbonensis.Géza Alföldy, ''Konsulat und Senatorenstand unter den Antoninen'' (Bonn: Habelt Verlag, 1977), p. 317 His first recorded post was as ''legatus legionis'' or commander of Legio V Macedonica in 162, during the Roman–Parthian War. Upon the resolution of that conflict, Verus was appointed suffect consul in 166 with Marcus Vibius Liberalis. That same year he was made governor of Roman Cappadocia, which post he held upon the revolt of Avidius Cassius. Following the defeat and death of Avidius Cassius, in 175 Verus was replaced as governor of Cappadocia by Gaius Arrius Antoninus, and made governor of Avidius Cassius' former province, Syria, apparently to aid in re-establishing Imperial control of that province ...

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] |
Quintus Servilius Pudens
Quintus Servilius Pudens was a Roman senator active during the second century AD. He was ordinary consul for the year 166 with Lucius Fufidius Pollio as his colleague, and he was proconsular governor of Africa around 180. Pudens is known only through surviving inscriptions. Pudens may be related to Marcus Servilius Silanus, consul in 152 and 188, and both may be related to the consul of 189, Quintus Servilius Silanus. Pudens is confidently known to have married Ceionia Plautia, daughter of Lucius Aelius, the adopted son of the emperor Hadrian. His mansion in Rome has been located; the associated baths have been found and excavated in part. There appear to have been two Servilii Pudentes living about the same time: an inscription attests that a man of the same name was ''prefectus frumenti dandi'', '' juridicus'' of Regio VIII Aemilia, and governor of Crete and Cyrenaica. Géza Alföldy notes that ''juridici'' for the districts of Italy did not come into existence until 166, an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ancient Roman Generals
Ancient history is a time period from the beginning of writing and recorded human history to as far as late antiquity. The span of recorded history is roughly 5,000 years, beginning with the Sumerian cuneiform script. Ancient history covers all continents inhabited by humans in the period 3000 BCAD 500. The three-age system periodizes ancient history into the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age, with recorded history generally considered to begin with the Bronze Age. The start and end of the three ages varies between world regions. In many regions the Bronze Age is generally considered to begin a few centuries prior to 3000 BC, while the end of the Iron Age varies from the early first millennium BC in some regions to the late first millennium AD in others. During the time period of ancient history, the world population was already exponentially increasing due to the Neolithic Revolution, which was in full progress. While in 10,000 BC, the world population stood a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Roman Governors Of Cappadocia
This is a list of known governors of the Roman province of Cappadocia. It was created in AD 17 as an imperial consular province by the Emperor Tiberius, following the death of king Archelaus. The Pontic and Armenian territories were split off by Diocletian during his reorganization of the empire during the 290s, and the province was reduced to the region of Cappadocia proper. In the late 330s, the eastern half of the province was split off to form the provinces of Armenia Prima and Armenia Secunda. In 371, emperor Valens split off the south-western region around Tyana, which became Cappadocia Secunda under a ''praeses'', while the remainder became Cappadocia Prima under a ''consularis''. In the period 535-553, under emperor Justinian I, Cappadocia Prima and Secunda were reunited under a proconsul, and eventually this province became the ''themata'' of Anatolikon and Armeniakon sometime during the seventh century. Many of the dates listed are approximate dates the office was held. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Titus Flavius Claudianus
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.
