Senecio Memmius Afer
Senecio Memmius Afer was a Roman senator active in the last quarter of the first century AD. He was suffect consul for the '' nundinium'' of June to July AD 99 as the colleague of Publius Sulpicius Lucretius Barba. Afer is known primarily from inscriptions. Memmius Afer's origins are disputed. Edward Champlin believes he was "almost certainly African and perhaps from Thugga", while John Grainger suggests that his origins were in Spain. Ronald Syme, noting Afer's tribe was "Galeria", states that it is attested for only one city in North Africa, Hadrumetum, while later members of the gentilicium Memmius "tend to come from Bulla Regia or Gigthis"; on the other hand, Syme states the cognomen Afer is well-attested in Spain, while he counted eighteen instances of the gentilicium Memmius in the Spanish provinces. Afer was the father-in-law of Tiberius Catius Caesius Fronto, the son of the poet Silius Italicus. Two inscriptions, one from Tibur, the other from North Africa, name his son, ...

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] |

List Of Early Imperial Roman Consuls
This is a list of consuls known to have held office, from the beginning of the Roman Republic to the latest use of the title in Imperial times, together with those magistrates of the Republic who were appointed in place of consuls, or who superseded consular authority for a limited period. Background Republican consuls From the establishment of the Republic to the time of Augustus, the consuls were the chief magistrates of the Roman state, and normally there were two of them, so that the executive power of the state was not vested in a single individual, as it had been under the kings. As other ancient societies dated historical events according to the reigns of their kings, it became customary at Rome to date events by the names of the consuls in office when the events occurred, rather than (for instance) by counting the number of years since the foundation of the city, although that method could also be used. If a consul died during his year of office, another was elected to r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Aulus Cornelius Palma Frontonianus
Aulus Cornelius Palma Frontonianus (died AD 118) was a soldier and Roman statesman who was twice consul: first as consul ordinarius in AD 99, with Quintus Sosius Senecio as his colleague; and again in 109, with Publius Calvisius Tullus Ruso as his colleague. Cornelius Palma came from Volsinii in Etruria. His first known post is that of praetorian legate to the proconsular governor of Asia sometime during Domitian's reign. He went on to command a legion from 94 to 97 AD, and became consul in 99. That year, Cornelius Palma went to Hispania to assume the position of governor of Hispania Tarraconensis. A short time later, he became the governor of Syria, and under emperor Trajan annexed Nabatea in AD 106, helping to create the Roman province of Arabia Petraea.

Quintus Sosius Senecio
Quintus Sosius Senecio ( 1st century AD) was a Roman senator who was favored by the emperors Domitian and Trajan. As a result of this relationship, he was twice ordinary consul, an unusual and prestigious honor: first in 99, with Aulus Cornelius Palma Frontonianus as his colleague; and again in 107 as the colleague of Lucius Licinius Sura, who was himself consul for the third time. Career Senecio's origins are unknown. He has been identified as the subject of an inscription where the name of the subject is lost, which provides us his ''cursus honorum''. The earliest office recorded on this inscription was ''quattuorviri viarum curandarum'', one of the four boards that comprised the ''vigintiviri''; membership in one of these was a required first step toward a gaining entry into the Roman Senate. His next recorded office was as quaestor of the senatorial province of Achaea; upon completion of this traditional Republican magistracy he would be enrolled in the Senate. The inscriptio ...

Trajan ( ; la, Caesar Nerva Traianus; 18 September 539/11 August 117) was Roman emperor from 98 to 117. Officially declared ''optimus princeps'' ("best ruler") by the senate, Trajan is remembered as a successful soldier-emperor who presided over one of the greatest military expansions in Roman history and led the empire to attain its greatest territorial extent by the time of his death. He is also known for his philanthropic rule, overseeing extensive public building programs and implementing social welfare policies, which earned him his enduring reputation as the second of the Five Good Emperors who presided over an era of peace within the Empire and prosperity in the Mediterranean world. Trajan was born in Italica, close to modern Seville in present-day Spain, a small Roman ''municipium'' founded by Italic settlers in the province of Hispania Baetica. He came from a branch of the gens Ulpia, the ''Ulpi Traiani'', that originated in the Umbrian town of Tuder. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
