Gaius Pomponius Bassus Terentianus
Gaius Pomponius Bassus Terentianus (fl. 2nd century AD) was a Roman military officer and senator. Biography Pomponius Bassus Terentianus was a member of the second century '' gens Pomponia'' by adoption and of '' gens Terentia'' by birth, as his ''cognomen'' Terentianus suggests. A successful imperial candidate for the post of '' quaestor provinciae'' early in his career, he was later appointed either ''curator rei publicae'' of Aquinum or Urvinum Mataurense. In around AD 185, Terentianus was possibly the Legatus and '' Iuridicus'' of Hispania Citerior. In either 186 or 187, Terentianus was the proconsular governor of Lycia et Pamphylia. This was followed by a posting as ''Legatus Augusti pro praetore'' of Pannonia Inferior between 187 and 189.

Lucius Pomponius Bassus
The gens Pomponia was a plebeian family at ancient Rome. Its members appear throughout the history of the Roman Republic, and into imperial times. The first of the gens to achieve prominence was Marcus Pomponius, tribune of the plebs in 449 BC; the first who obtained the consulship was Manius Pomponius Matho in 233 BC.''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', vol. III, p. 493 ("Pomponia Gens"). Origin In the latter part of the Republic, it was common for various gentes to claim descent from the founding figures of Rome; the companions of Aeneas, Romulus, or those who came to Rome in the time of the kings. The Pomponii claimed to be descended from Pompo, one of the sons of Numa Pompilius, the second King of Rome, whose image appears on some of their coins. Several other gentes also claimed Numa as their ancestor. ''Pompo'', asserted as the name of the ancestor of the Pompilii, does indeed appear to have been an ancient praenomen of Sabine origin. It was the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

J.-C. - 284 ap. J.-C.)' (Istanbul: Institut Français d'Études Anatoliennes-Georges Dumézil, 1989), p. 197 Although being a proconsular legate was a posting which could result in a number of influential contacts, fifteen years passed until Bassus acceded to the consulate.
