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] |
Sextus Julius Severus
Gnaeus Minicius Faustinus Sextus Julius Severus was an accomplished Roman general of the 2nd century. He also held the office of suffect consul in the last three months of 127 with Lucius Aemilius Juncus as his colleague. Biography Julius Severus was born in Colonia Claudia Aequum, Dalmatia, today Čitluk, a small village in modern-day Bosnia-Herzegovina. He served as Governor of Moesia; he was appointed Governor of Britain around 131. In 133 and to circa 135 he was transferred to 14th legate of Judaea, to help suppress the Bar Kokhba revolt there. Because of his military reputation, historians have seen him as a troubleshooter, sent to troublesome provinces to bring peace through war and his presence has been taken as indication of unrest in Britain at the time. There is no archaeological evidence to suggest fighting in Britain under his governorship although a reference by the orator Fronto to many soldiers dying in Britain under Hadrian's reign may refer to trouble at this ...

Marcus Pontius Laelianus (consul 163)
Marcus Pontius Laelianus Larcius Sabinus was a Roman senator and general who held a series of offices in the emperor's service. He was suffect consul for the ''nundinium'' of July-August 145 as the colleague of Quintus Mustius Priscus. Laelianus is primarily known through inscriptions. Origins and family According to Anthony Birley, the origin of Laelianus is indicated by his tribe, ''Pupina'', whose members are found only in Italy "with the single exception of Baeterrae in Narbonensis, where he served twice." Birley suggests that his origins lie in Gallia Narbonensis, although an Italian origin "is slightly more likely." In his monograph on Roman naming practices of the period, Olli Salomies writes that Laelianus is "probably" a son of the Pontius Laelianus mentioned in the ''Testamentum Dasumii''.Salomies, ''Adoptive and Polyonymous Nomenclature in the Roman Empire'' (Helsinki: Societas Scientiarum Fennica, 1992), p. 142 Other members of his family include: a son, Marcus ...

Marcus Servilius Fabianus Maximus
Marcus Servilius Fabianus Maximus was a Roman senator, who was active during the reigns of Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius. He was suffect consul in a ''nundinium'' in mid-158 with Quintus Jallius Bassus as his colleague. A native of North Africa, Maximus was the younger brother of Marcus Servilius Silanus suffect consul in 152, and a relative of Quintus Servilius Pudens, brother-in-law of emperor Lucius Verus. Career His ''cursus honorum'' is partially known from an inscription set up in Rome. His first recorded office was ''quattuorviri viarum curandarum'', one of the magistracies that comprised the ''vigintiviri''; membership in one of these four boards was a preliminary and required first step toward a gaining entry into the Roman Senate. This was followed with his commission as military tribune with Legio I Minervia, stationed at ''Bonna'' (modern Bonn), in Germania Inferior. Maximus returned to Rome where he was elected quaestor, which he served at the city of Rom ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Marcus Iallius Bassus Fabius Valerianus
Marcus Iallius or Jallius Bassus was a Roman senator, general, and literary figure who held several offices in the imperial service during the mid-second century AD. He was suffect consul around the year 159. Bassus is known primarily from inscriptions. His full name was Marcus Iallius Bassus Fabius Valerianus. Bassus was from Alba Helviorum (modern Joyeuse, Ardèche), where two inscriptions record his ''cursus honorum''. These inscriptions give his father's name as ''Marcus''; he might be the Marcus Iallius Bassus who was buried at Alba Helviorum. He was probably closely related to the ''Quintus'' Iallius Bassus who was consul in 158. Bassus' senatorial career began with his adlection ''inter tribunicios'', that is as having held the office of plebeian tribune. After his accession to praetor, he was commissioned ''legatus legionis'', or commander of a legion, but its name was not preserved on either inscription; Géza Alföldy dates his command from around the year 153 to 156, ...

Lucius Julius Statilius Severus
Lucius ( el, Λούκιος ''Loukios''; ett, Luvcie) is a male given name derived from ''Lucius'' (abbreviated ''L.''), one of the small group of common Latin forenames (''praenomina'') found in the culture of ancient Rome. Lucius derives from Latin word ''Lux'' (gen. ''lucis''), meaning "light" (< ''*leuk-'' "brightness", Latin verb ''lucere'' "to shine"), and is a of the name . Another etymology proposed is a derivation from ''Lauchum'' (or ''Lauchme'') meaning " |
Titus Pomponius Proculus Vitrasius Pollio
Titus Pomponius Proculus Vitrasius Pollio (died before 180) was a Roman senator, who held several imperial appointments during the reign of Marcus Aurelius. He was suffect consul in an undetermined ''nundinium'' around 151; he was a consul ''ordinarius'' in the year 176 with Marcus Flavius Aper as his colleague. Life Pollio was born into a family of Patrician rank. Although the name of his mother is unknown, his father is Titus Vitrasius Pollio, consul around 137 in the reign of Hadrian. The older Pollio's paternal grandfather was Gaius Vitrasius Pollio, who served as a Procurator of Egypt under Claudius (41-54) and whose father of the same name was also procurator of Egypt during the reign of Tiberius. Two inscriptions, one from Rome, the other from Leon, provides us the details of his ''cursus honorum''. Pollio's career began in his teens as one of the ''tresviri monetalis'', the most prestigious of the four boards that comprise the ''vigintiviri''; assignment to this boa ...

Titus Flavius Longinus Quintus Marcius Turbo
Titus Flavius Longinus Quintus Marcius Turbo was a Roman senator who held a series of offices in the emperor's service. He was suffect consul for one of the '' nundinia'' in the years 149 through 151. Longinus is known primarily from inscriptions. Authorities agree that Longinus was the birth son of Titus Flavius Longinus, a decurion of a city in Dacia, and was later adopted by the prefect of the Praetorian Guard, Quintus Marcius Turbo. Nevertheless, Longinus remained a member of the equestrian order until he was adlected into the Senate. Career His ''cursus honorum'' can be reconstructed from an inscription. While still an equestrian, Longinus was prefect, or commander, of an unspecified ala; his adlection followed this. He advanced through the traditional Republican magistracies: quaestor, aedile, and praetor. After stepping down from the last magistracy, Longinus was commissioned ''legatus legionis'' or commander of Legio I Adiutrix, stationed on the Danube frontier; Géza A ...

Quintus Fuficius Cornutus
Quintus Fuficius Cornutus was a Roman senator active in the first half of the second century AD, who held a number of offices in the emperor's service. He was suffect consul for the ''nundinium'' April-June AD 147 with Aulus Claudius Charax as his colleague. Cornutus is known only from inscriptions. Career His ''cursus honorum'' can be reconstructed from an incomplete inscription found at Casalbordino, near Vasto in Italy. The location of this monument led Géza Alföldy to surmise that Cornutus' home was at this village, or neighboring Frentanum where Cornutus was known to own estates. Restoration of the inscription assumes it recorded which of the four boards of the ''vigintiviri'' Cornutus held, namely the ''quattuorviri viarum curandarum'', which oversaw the maintenance of the roads of the city of Rome. More certain is that he was a military tribune, and that while holding that commission Cornutus saw combat where his achievements led to him being awarded ''dona militaria'', ...

Gaius Prastina Messalinus
Gaius Prastina Messalinus was a Roman senator, active during the reign of Antoninus Pius. He was consul in the year 147 with Lucius Annius Largus as his colleague. Messalinus is known entirely from inscriptions. His full name is Gaius Ulpius Pacatus Prastina Messalinus. Géza Alföldy dismisses the possibility that Messalinus was the descendant of a man given Roman citizenship during the reign of the emperor Trajan, and instead argues that Messalinus was a relative of that emperor. Although his name clearly demonstrates polyonymy, it does not appear in Olli Salomies' monograph on those names. Nevertheless, the most common form of polyonymic names would lead one to suspect Messalinus was adopted by a member of the Ulpii, likely named "Gaius Ulpius Pacatus"; an alternative explanation is that "Gaius Ulpius Pacatus" may be his maternal grandfather. A third item of interest is his ''cognomen'' "Messalinus", which suggests a connection to one branch of the ''gens'' Valeria. The ''cursu ...

Tiberius Claudius Saturninus
The gens Claudia (), sometimes written Clodia, was one of the most prominent patrician houses at ancient Rome. The gens traced its origin to the earliest days of the Roman Republic. The first of the Claudii to obtain the consulship was Appius Claudius Sabinus Regillensis, in 495 BC, and from that time its members frequently held the highest offices of the state, both under the Republic and in imperial times.''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', vol. I, p. 762 ("Claudia Gens"). Plebeian Claudii are found fairly early in Rome's history. Some may have been descended from members of the family who had passed over to the plebeians, while others were probably the descendants of freedmen of the gens. In the later Republic, one of its patrician members voluntarily converted to plebeian status and adopted the spelling "Clodius". In his life of the emperor Tiberius, who was a scion of the Claudii, the historian Suetonius gives a summary of the gens, and says, "as t ...

Lucius Minicius Natalis Quadronius Verus
Lucius Minicius Natalis Quadronius Verus (born in Barcino, AD 96) was a Roman statesman and military leader who served as the Proconsul of Africa from 153 to 154. He was the first known Olympic champion to have been born in the Iberian Peninsula. Early life Minicius was born in February 96. His father, Lucius Minicius Natalis, originally a plebeian, achieved significant civilian and military positions in Numidia, Dacia, and Pannonia during the reigns of Trajan and Hadrian, for which accomplishments the older Minicius was adlected into the Senate. Minicius was raised in Barcino, modern-day Barcelona, in Hispania Tarraconensis. His first public office of note was as one of the ''tresviri monetales'', the most prestigious of the four boards that comprise the ''vigintiviri''; assignment to this board was usually allocated to patricians or favored individuals, and as the son of one of Trajan's successful generals, the second rationale best fits Minicius' case.
