Sedatus
Sedatus (Latin: ''SEDATVS'') was a guardian deity (''genius'') of the Breuci and the Latobici. Originally Celtic, Sedatus is known to have been worshipped during the Roman Empire as late as the 2nd-century AD as indicated by a votive stone dedicated to this god by the First Cohort of the Breuci. Sedatus may have been the namesake of the '' Sedatii'', a Gallo-Roman family active in the mid 2nd-century AD.

Sedatia Gens
The gens Sedatia, occasionally written Sedata, was a plebeian family at ancient Rome, which flourished from the first to the third century. The only member of this gens known to have held a seat in the Roman senate was Marcus Sedatius Severianus, consul ''suffectus'' in AD 153.'' Fasti Ostienses'', . The Sedatii were an influential mercantile family, whose wealth was based on commerce along the Loire, and had interests in Ostia. The social and political rise of the Sedatii parallels the decline of the aristocratic Julii, who had been the leading class in Roman Gaul since the time of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. The likely marriage of Gaius Sedatius Severus and Julia Rufina might have contributed to the ascendency of winemakers and landowners, who became the leading class in Gaul until the Flavians. Origin The Sedatii seem to have been a Gallic family, which probably obtained Roman citizenship some time during the early Empire. The nomen ''Sedatius'' seems to be derived from ...

Latin Language
Latin (, or , ) is a classical language belonging to the Italic languages, Italic branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin was originally a dialect spoken in the lower Tiber area (then known as Latium) around present-day Rome, but through the power of the Roman Republic it became the dominant language in the Italy (geographical region), Italian region and subsequently throughout the Roman Empire. Even after the Fall of the Western Roman Empire, fall of Western Rome, Latin remained the common language of international communication, science, scholarship and academia in Europe until well into the 18th century, when other regional vernaculars (including its own descendants, the Romance languages) supplanted it in common academic and political usage, and it eventually became a dead language in the modern linguistic definition. Latin is a fusional language, highly inflected language, with three distinct grammatical gender, genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), six or seven ...

Genius (mythology)
In Roman religion, the genius (; plural ''geniī'') is the individual instance of a general divine nature that is present in every individual person, place, or thing. Much like a guardian angel, the genius would follow each man from the hour of his birth until the day he died. For women, it was the Juno spirit that would accompany each of them. Nature Each individual place had a genius ('' genius loci'') and so did powerful objects, such as volcanoes. The concept extended to some specifics: the genius of the theatre, of vineyards, and of festivals, which made performances successful, grapes grow, and celebrations succeed, respectively. It was extremely important in the Roman mind to propitiate the appropriate genii for the major undertakings and events of their lives. Thus man, following the dictates of his heart, venerated something higher and more divine than he could find in his own limited individuality, and brought to "this great unknown of himself" offerings as a god; th ...

Breuci
This is a list of ancient tribes in the ancient territory of Illyria ( grc-gre, Ἰλλυρία; la, Illyria). The name ''Illyrians'' seems to be the name of a single Illyrian tribe that was the first to come into contact with the ancient Greeks, causing the name Illyrians to be applied to all people of similar language and customs. The locations of Illyrian tribes/peoples prior to the Roman conquest are approximate, as sometimes many wholly different locations are given by ancient writers and modern authors (as in the case of the Enchelei). After the Great Illyrian Revolt, the Romans deported,J. J. Wilkes, ''The Illyrians'', 1992, , p. 217. split, and resettled Illyrian tribes within Illyria itself and to Dacia, sometimes causing whole tribes to vanish and new ones to be formed from their remains, such as the Deraemestae and the Docleatae, some of them mixed with Celtic tribes (see Celticization). Many tribal names are known from Roman and the number of their , formed of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Latobici
The Latobici or Latovici (Gaulish: ''Latobicoi'') were a Celtic tribe dwelling in Pannonia Superior, around present-day Drnovo (Slovenia), during the Roman period. Name They are mentioned as ''Latovici'' by Pliny (1st c. AD), as Λατόβικοι (''Latóbikoi'') by Ptolemy (2nd c. AD), and as ''Latobici'' on an inscription from Neviodunum (modern Drnovo) dated to 117–130 AD. CIL 03:10804., s.v. ''Latobici''. The ethnonym ''Latobici'' is a Latinized form of the Gaulish ''Latobicoi'', which derives from the stem *''lāto''-, meaning 'furor, ardour' (cf. Old Irish ''láth'', Welsh ''lawd''), probably after the name of the Celtic god '' Latobios'' (*''Lātu-biyos'' 'Furious Striker'). Pierre-Yves Lambert has proposed to translate ''Latobici'' as 'the lineage of Latobios'. A homonym tribe, the Latobrigi (or Latobici), dwelled further northwest near the Helvetii. Whether they were actually related or even identical remains debated. Geography The Latobici dwelled near the Krk ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
