Titus Quinctius Crispinus Valerianus
Titus Quinctius Crispinus Valerianus was a Roman senator, who was active during the reign of Augustus. He was suffect consul in the second half of AD 2 as the colleague of Publius Cornelius Lentulus Scipio. Crispinus Valerianus was of Patrician descent, but his familial connections beyond that are unclear. He could be the biological son of a Valerius who was adopted by Titus Quinctius Crispinus Sulpicianus, one of the alleged lovers of Julia the Elder; or the son of a Quinctius Crispinus and a Valeria; or even the brother of Crispinus Sulpicianus.Syme, ''The Augustan Aristocracy'', p. 158 One certain event in his life is the date of his praetorship, which was in 2 BC; this allows us to infer he acceded to the consulate ''anno suo'', and fixing the year of his birth as 32 BC. We know that he was a member of the Arval Brethren, for inscriptions confirm his presence at their ceremonies from AD 14 through 27., , , He likely died before the end of the reign of Tiberius Tiber ...

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] |
Publius Vinicius
Publius Vinicius was a Roman senator active during the reigns of Emperors Augustus and Tiberius. He was the son of Marcus Vinicius, consul in 19 BC. Vinicius was ordinary consul in AD 2 with Publius Alfenus Varus, and was an imperial legate for Macedonia and Thracia. There he commanded a legion as military tribune under Lucius Calpurnius Piso. Several years after his consulate, Vinicius was proconsular governor of Asia at some point between AD 10 and 15, but probably in AD 10/11. His son Marcus Vinicius was consul in AD 30 and a second time in the year 45.Hermann Dessau, ''Prosopographia Imperii Romani The ', abbreviated ''PIR'', is a collective historical work to establish the prosopography of high-profile people from the Roman empire.

32 BC Births
3 (three) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 2 and preceding 4, and is the smallest odd prime number and the only prime preceding a square number. It has religious or cultural significance in many societies. Evolution of the Arabic digit The use of three lines to denote the number 3 occurred in many writing systems, including some (like Roman and Chinese numerals) that are still in use. That was also the original representation of 3 in the Brahmic (Indian) numerical notation, its earliest forms aligned vertically. However, during the Gupta Empire the sign was modified by the addition of a curve on each line. The Nāgarī script rotated the lines clockwise, so they appeared horizontally, and ended each line with a short downward stroke on the right. In cursive script, the three strokes were eventually connected to form a glyph resembling a with an additional stroke at the bottom: ३. The Indian digits spread to the Caliphate in the 9th ...

Suffect Consuls Of Imperial Rome
A consul held the highest elected political office of the Roman Republic ( to 27 BC), and ancient Romans considered the consulship the second-highest level of the ''cursus honorum'' (an ascending sequence of public offices to which politicians aspired) after that of the censor. Each year, the Centuriate Assembly elected two consuls to serve jointly for a one-year term. The consuls alternated in holding ''fasces'' – taking turns leading – each month when both were in Rome and a consul's ''imperium'' extended over Rome and all its provinces. There were two consuls in order to create a check on the power of any individual citizen in accordance with the republican belief that the powers of the former kings of Rome should be spread out into multiple offices. To that end, each consul could veto the actions of the other consul. After the establishment of the Empire (27 BC), the consuls became mere symbolic representatives of Rome's republican heritage and held very little p ...

Quinctii
The gens Quinctia, sometimes written Quintia, was a patrician family at ancient Rome. Throughout the history of the Republic, its members often held the highest offices of the state, and it produced some men of importance even during the imperial period. For the first forty years after the expulsion of the kings the Quinctii are not mentioned, and the first of the gens who obtained the consulship was Titus Quinctius Capitolinus Barbatus in 471 BC; but from that year their name constantly appears in the Fasti consulares.''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', vol. III, pp. 633, 634 (" Quintia Gens"). As with other patrician families, in later times there were also plebeian Quinctii. Some of these may have been the descendants of freedmen of the gens, or of patrician Quinctii who had voluntarily gone over to the plebs. There may also have been unrelated persons who happened to share the same nomen. Pliny the Elder relates that it was the custom in the Quincti ...

1st-century Romans
The 1st century was the century spanning AD 1 ( I) through AD 100 ( C) according to the Julian calendar. It is often written as the or to distinguish it from the 1st century BC (or BCE) which preceded it. The 1st century is considered part of the Classical era, epoch, or historical period. The 1st century also saw the appearance of Christianity. During this period, Europe, North Africa and the Near East fell under increasing domination by the Roman Empire, which continued expanding, most notably conquering Britain under the emperor Claudius (AD 43). The reforms introduced by Augustus during his long reign stabilized the empire after the turmoil of the previous century's civil wars. Later in the century the Julio-Claudian dynasty, which had been founded by Augustus, came to an end with the suicide of Nero in AD 68. There followed the famous Year of Four Emperors, a brief period of civil war and instability, which was finally brought to an end by Vespasian, ninth Roman emperor, ...

Marcus Servilius
Marcus Servilius was a Roman senator who was active during the reigns of the emperors Augustus Caesar Augustus (born Gaius Octavius; 23 September 63 BC – 19 August AD 14), also known as Octavian, was the first Roman emperor; he reigned from 27 BC until his death in AD 14. He is known for being the founder of the Roman Pr ... and Tiberius. He was Roman consul, ordinary consul in AD 3 as the colleague of Lucius Aelius Lamia (consul 3), Lucius Aelius Lamia. Servilius was the son of Marcus Servilius, plebeian tribune in 43 BC. Both were descended from Gaius Servilius Geminus (prisoner of war), Gaius Servilius Geminus the praetor, who had renounced his Patrician (ancient Rome), patrician status.Syme, "Servilius Nonianus", p. 409 The consul Servilius married the daughter of the Nonia gens, Nonius whom Mark Antony proscribed over the possession of a gem.

Lucius Aelius Lamia (consul 3)
Lucius Aelius Lamia (before 43 BC – AD 33) was a Roman Senator who held a number of offices under Augustus and Tiberius. He was consul in the year AD 3 with Marcus Servilius as his colleague. Lucius was the son of Lucius Aelius Lamia, a loyal partisan of Cicero who was made praetor in 43 BC but died before completing his term. His connection with the prominent Aelii Tuberones (including Aelia Paetina, second wife of the emperor Claudius) is not known. It is unlikely his father was the same man as Lucius Aelius Tubero, the possible great-grandfather of Aelia Paetina. Career Only one of his offices before acceding to the consulate is known: Lucius was '' tresviri monetalis'', the most prestigious of the four boards that form the ''vigintiviri'', in 9 BC together with Publius Silius. After he stepped down from the consulate, Lucius served as ''legatus propraetor'' or governor of Germania, then Pannonia. Towards the beginning of Tiberius' reign the sortition awarded Luc ...

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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The ''gens Alfena'' or ''Alfenia'' was a Roman family, known from the first century BC to the first century AD. The gens is known chiefly from five individuals, three of whom attained the consulship. Three shared the cognomen ''Varus'', and may have been closely related.''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', William Smith, Editor Members * (Publius) Alfenus Varus, a jurist and pupil of Servius Sulpicius Rufus. * Publius Alfenius Varus, perhaps the son of the jurist, consul in AD 2. * Alfenus or Alfenius Varus, perhaps a descendant of the jurist, a general in the service of Aulus Vitellius in AD 69. *Lucius Alfenus Senecio, consul and Roman governor of Britain in the early third century. *Lucius Alfenus Avitianus, consul ''suffectus'' in an uncertain year around AD 210–220; he was a member of the Arval brethren, and served as governor of Arabia Petraea during the reign of Caracalla.

Tiberius
Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus (; 16 November 42 BC – 16 March AD 37) was the second Roman emperor. He reigned from AD 14 until 37, succeeding his stepfather, the first Roman emperor Augustus. Tiberius was born in Rome in 42 BC. His father was the politician Tiberius Claudius Nero and his mother was Livia Drusilla, who would eventually divorce his father, and marry the future-emperor Augustus in 38 BC. Following the untimely deaths of Augustus' two grandsons and adopted heirs, Gaius and Lucius Caesar, Tiberius was designated Augustus' successor. Prior to this, Tiberius had proved himself an able diplomat, and one of the most successful Roman generals: his conquests of Pannonia, Dalmatia, Raetia, and (temporarily) parts of Germania laid the foundations for the empire's northern frontier. Early in his career, Tiberius was happily married to Vipsania, daughter of Augustus' friend, distinguished general and intended heir, Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa. They had a son, Drusus Jul ...

Roman Senate
The Roman Senate ( la, Senātus Rōmānus) was a governing and advisory assembly in ancient Rome. It was one of the most enduring institutions in Roman history, being established in the first days of the city of Rome (traditionally founded in 753 BC). It survived the overthrow of the Roman monarchy in 509 BC; the fall of the Roman Republic in the 1st century BC; the division of the Roman Empire in AD 395; and the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476; Justinian's attempted reconquest of the west in the 6th century, and lasted well into the Eastern Roman Empire's history. During the days of the Roman Kingdom, most of the time the Senate was little more than an advisory council to the king, but it also elected new Roman kings. The last king of Rome, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, was overthrown following a coup d'état led by Lucius Junius Brutus, who founded the Roman Republic. During the early Republic, the Senate was politically weak, while the various executive magistr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
