Aulus Gabinius Secundus (consul 35)
Aulus Gabinius Secundus was a Roman senator and general who was active during the reign of Tiberius. He was suffect consul for the second half of the year 35 as the colleague of Decimus Valerius Asiaticus. Following his consulate, Secundus was appointed ''legatus'' or commander of the army in Germania Inferior. In 41, Secundus led a successful campaign against the Germanic tribe of the Chauci, who had settled on the North Sea coast between the Elbe and Ems rivers. These Germans had made themselves unpopular with the Romans by their raids and their connection with the neighbouring Frisii. The Chauci had also fought on the side of Arminius in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in the year 9, in which the Germans destroyed three Roman legions, a vicious defeat the Romans remembered well. Secundus gained much prestige by recovering the last of the three battle eagles that had been lost in the battle. For this achievement, and Sulpicius Galba's victory against the Chatti that same year, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gaius Rutilius Gallicus
Quintus Julius Cordinus Gaius Rutilius Gallicus was a Roman senator who held several posts in the emperor's service. He was twice suffect consul: for the first time in the ''nundinium'' of September to October 70 AD; and the second time in 85 with Lucius Valerius Catullus Messalinus as his colleague, succeeding the Emperor Domitian. Gallicus was well thought of by both the emperors Claudius and Nero. He was an important supporter of Vespasian in his early period as emperor and was rewarded by being made consul only months after Vespasian's arrival in Rome. Gallicus held a series of further civic and military positions, including three governorships, pontifex, and urban prefect of Rome. Family He was often referred to by the shorter name Gaius Rutilius Gallicus, which Olli Salomies notes was his name prior to his adoption; Gallicus was a member of the gens Rutilia from Augusta Taurinorum, the modern Turin. The general consensus is that the adoptive element is ''Quintus Julius Cor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lucius Acilius Strabo
Lucius Acilius Strabo was a Roman senator active during the first century AD. He was suffect consul for the ''nundinium'' September-October 80 as the colleague of Sextus Neranius Capito. He is known entirely from inscriptions. Acilius Strabo belongs to one of the major branches of the gens Acilia, but one which is not as familiar as the Acilii Glabriones and the Acilii Aviones. Further details about the Acili Strabones are uncertain. Assignment to Cyrenaica Acilius Strabo's first appearance in history is in Tacitus, as praetor. He had been sent by the emperor Claudius to Cyrenaica to resolve property disputes over personal estates that king Ptolemy Apion had bequeathed to the Roman people along with his kingdom. Consequently, some of the landowners objected to his judgments, and in the reign of Nero they petitioned the Roman senate for redress. The Senate responded that they had no knowledge of the instructions Claudius had given Strabo, and passed the petition to the emperor, wh ...

Aulus Marius Celsus
Aulus Marius Celsus was a Roman senator who held several offices in the emperor's service during the first century AD, as well as playing a role in the Year of Four Emperors. He was suffect consul of the ''nundinium'' of July to August 69 as the colleague of Gnaeus Arrius Antoninus. Life Ronald Syme suggests that Marius Celsus was a native of Nemausus in Gallia Narbonensis (modern Nîmes), based on the existence of Gaius Marius Celsus, a magistrate of that city and husband of Pompeia the daughter of Toutodivix. His career began under Nero. Celsus' earliest known appointment was ''legatus legionis'' or commander of the Legio XV Apollinaris, first in Pannonia, then in Asia Minor. Nero designated Celsus suffect consul for a designated ''nundinium'' in 69 before his death. After the suicide of Nero, Galba made him part of his inner circle; Celsus was present, along with Aulus Ducenius Geminus, Urban prefect, when Galba announced Piso Licinianus as his choice for his heir. Then Cel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Quintus Petillius Cerialis
Quintus Petillius Cerialis Caesius Rufus ( AD 30 — after AD 83), otherwise known as Quintus Petillius Cerialis, was a Roman general and administrator who served in Britain during Boudica's rebellion and went on to participate in the civil wars after the death of Nero. He later crushed the rebellion of Julius Civilis and returned to Britain as its governor. Because he probably succeeded Caesius Nasica as commander of Legio IX Hispana, and since brothers are often attested as serving in succession in the same post, Anthony Birley suggests that Cerialis was the younger brother of Nasica, and had been adopted by Petillius Rufus, who was known as praetor in AD 28. However, in his monograph of naming practices in the first centuries of the Roman Empire, Olli Salomies argues that Cerialis was actually the biological son of Petillius Rufus by a woman named Caesia, who may have been the daughter of a Caesius Cerialis, therefore Caesius Nasica would not have been his brother "but a close ...

Gaius Dillius Vocula
Gaius Dillius Vocula (died 70 AD) was a Roman commander of the Legio XXII Primigenia during the Batavian revolt. Defending Castra Vetera, he was murdered by rebellious Roman troops. An inscription found at Rome, commissioned by his wife Helvia Procula, provides details of his ''cursus honorum''. His first recorded office was a commission as a military tribune; although the inscription identifies the unit as "Legio I", there were two active c. 60 with that number: Legio I Germanica, and Legio I Minervia. Then came an appointment as a ''quattuorviri viarum curandarum'', one of the four magistracies that comprised the ''vigintiviri''; membership in one of these four was a preliminary and required first step toward a gaining entry into the Roman Senate. Next was the traditional Republican magistracy of quaestor, which he served in the public province of Bithynia and Pontus; upon completion of this magistracy Vocula would be enrolled in the Senate.Richard Talbert, ''The Senate of Imperi ...

Aulus Vitellius Germanicus
Aulus Vitellius (; ; 24 September 1520 December 69) was Roman emperor for eight months, from 19 April to 20 December AD 69. Vitellius was proclaimed emperor following the quick succession of the previous emperors Galba and Otho, in a year of civil war known as the Year of the Four Emperors. Vitellius was the first to add the honorific cognomen ''Germanicus'' to his name instead of ''Caesar'' upon his accession. Like his direct predecessor, Otho, Vitellius attempted to rally public support to his cause by honoring and imitating Nero who remained widely popular in the empire. Originally from Campania, likely from Nuceria Alfaterna,Suetonius, Vitellius, 4. he was born to the Vitellia gens, a relatively obscure family in ancient Rome. He was a noble companion of Tiberius' retirement on Capri and there befriended Caligula. He was elected consul in 48, and served as proconsular governor of Africa in either 60 or 61. In 68, he was chosen to command the army of Germania Inferior by emper ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Publius Sulpicius Scribonius Rufus
Publius Sulpicius Scribonius Proculus (died AD 67) was a Roman senator, who was active during the reign of Nero. He was suffect consul in the ''nundinium'' of September to October 56 as the colleague of his brother Publius Sulpicius Scribonius Rufus. Both brothers were denounced by the ''delator'' Gaius Paccius Africanus to the emperor Nero, who summoned the men to Achaia under false pretenses. Once they arrived, they were charged under the ''lex maiestas'', and forced to commit suicide. Lives The lives of the brothers are only known in part. M.A. Speidel notes that the origins of the Sulpicii Scribonii are not known, but they are likely from Italy. The father of the two men is identified as the senator Scribonius Proculus, whom the emperor Caligula had murdered. Their '' cursi honori'' is known only from his consulate on. Tacitus records that, when faced with a riot in Puteoli in the year 58 that one senator was unable to subdue, the emperor assigned a cohort to Proculus and Ru ...

He was suffect consul in the ''nundinium'' of November to December 56 with Publius Clodius Thrasea Paetus as his colleague. Avitus is the only known member of his family known to have held the consulship. Prior to becoming consul, Avitus is known to have been governor of the imperial province of Gallia Aquitania, in an unknown year. However, his tenure as governor of Germania Inferior is better known, which he held from 58 to the year 60. Tacitus records his military activities in the year 58. After the Frisii unsuccessfully attempted to migrate into the province and settle on some uninhabited lands, the Ampsivarii, one of the Germanic tribes, likewise attempted to relocate there. Avitus' official response was to command them to submit to Roman rule; unofficially he told their king Boiocalus, an old personal friend, that he was willing to cede to them the lands to live on.
