Roman Consul
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 litt ...

Marius Cordus
The gens Maria was a plebeian family of Rome. Its most celebrated member was Gaius Marius, one of the greatest generals of antiquity, and seven times consul.''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', vol. I, p. 949 ("Maria Gens"). Origin As a nomen, ''Marius'' is probably derived from the Oscan praenomen ''Marius'', in which case the family may be of Sabine or Sabellic background, although in this form the name is Latinized, and the family cannot be proven to have originated anywhere other than Rome. Praenomina The Marii of the Republic used the praenomina '' Marcus, Gaius, Lucius, Quintus'', and '' Sextus. Publius'' and ''Titus'' are found in imperial times. Branches and cognomina The Marii of the Republic were never divided into any families, though in course of time, more especially under the emperors, several of the Marii assumed surnames. The only cognomen found on coins is ''Capito''. Members * Quintus Marius, ''triumvir monetalis'' between 189 a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Titus Vestricius Spurinna
Titus Vestricius Spurinna (c. 24 – after 105 AD) was a Roman senator, consul, and a friend and role model of Pliny the Younger.Jo-Ann Shelton, ''The Women of Pliny's Letters'' (Routledge, 2013), p. 131. He was consul at least twice, the first time possibly in 72, and the second in the year 98 as the colleague of the emperor Trajan. Spurinna is one of the correspondents in Pliny's ''Letters'', and had literary interests of his own, including writing lyric poetry. Pliny says dinner parties at his home were often enlivened by scenes from Roman comedy. Pliny admired Vestricius Spurinna for his active but orderly life as a septuagenarian. He enjoyed conversation, reading and writing, exercise, and bathing. His diet was simple but good, and he enjoyed the full use of his faculties, remaining both physically and mentally vigorous. Life "The origins of Vestricius Spurinna is nowhere documented," writes Ronald Syme, then a few lines later states he was "presumably a Transpadane". Sym ...

Lucius Nonius Calpurnius Asprenas
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 Lucas. Another etymology proposed is a derivation from Etruscan ''Lauchum'' (or ''Lauchme'') meaning " |

Marcus Cluvius Rufus
Marcus Cluvius Rufus was a Roman consul, senator, governor, and historian who was mentioned on several occasions by Tacitus, Suetonius, Cassius Dio, Josephus and Plutarch. Career Cluvius was consul ''suffectus'' prior to AD 65; from how those Roman historians mention him he could have held the fasces during the reign of Claudius, but Paul Gallivan believes that in "all probability Cluvius' consular date should be Neronian." He had been involved in the conspiracy to assassinate Caligula, but it is not known to what degree. As an ex-consul during the early part of Nero's reign, Cluvius knew many members of the emperor's inner circle, He appeared as the emperor's herald at the games in which Nero made his appearance. During the year of the four emperors, Cluvius was governor of Hispania. Tacitus said "Spain was under the government of Cluvius Rufus, an eloquent man, who had all the accomplishments of civil life, but who was without experience in war." Nobody had been endan ...

Lucius Junius Quintus Vibius Crispus
Lucius Junius Quintus Vibius Crispus (sometimes known as Quintus Vibius Crispus) was a Roman senator and ''amicus'' or companion of the Emperors, known for his wit. He was a three-time suffect consul. Family Crispus came from a family of the equestrian order, a member of the '' gens Vibia''. According to Tacitus, Crispus was born in Vercellae. According to Olli Salomies, Crispus was born Quintus Vibius, and adopted by a Lucius Junius some time before his second consulate. His brother was Lucius Vibius Secundus; if Crispus was the younger brother, that would not only indicate his father's name was Lucius Vibius, but offer an explanation for his adoptive status. Quintus Vibius Secundus, suffect consul in 86, is considered his son. It is unknown if Crispus is related to Lucius Vibius Sabinus, father of the Roman empress Vibia Sabina. Life Crispus' life before he achieved the consulate for the first time, during the reign of Nero, is known only indirectly. Tacitus, in his ''Hi ...

Aulus Ducenius Geminus
Aulus Ducenius Geminus was a Roman senator active in the first century AD. Geminus is best known as Galba's appointment as Urban prefect of Rome during the Year of Four Emperors.Tacitus, ''Histories'', i.14 Geminus had family connections with Patavium; he is one of three consular Ducenii that Ronald Syme identifies as a native of that town. The other two are Gaius Ducenius Proculus, consul in 87, and Publius Ducenius Verus, consul in 96. Life Most of Geminus' career is known from an acephalic inscription (one where the name of the subject is missing) recovered from Epidaurus in Greece; Werner Eck has argued that the subject of this inscription is Geminus."Miscellanea prosopographica" '' |
Pompeius Paullinus
Pompeius Paullinus was a Roman senator, who was active during the reigns of Claudius and Nero. He was suffect consul during a '' nundinium'' in either the year 53 or 54. According to Pliny the Elder, Paullinus was the son of Pompeius Paulinus, an '' eques'' from Arelate.''Naturalis Historia'', XXXIII.143 He may have been the brother of Pompeia Paulina who was the wife of the philosopher and statesman Seneca. Paullinus is best known for his tenure as governor of Germania Inferior, which has been attested by a mention in Tacitus, Pliny the Elder, and an inscription recovered from Cologne which has been dated to the year 56. The evidence points to his tenure as extending from 55 to 57; he was succeeded by Lucius Duvius Avitus in the year 58. Ronald Syme surmises that while Paullinus was governor of Germania Inferior, Pliny and the future emperor Titus both served as military tribunes. From his time in that province Pliny later recalled that Paullinus brought with him 12,000 pounds ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Marcus Aponius Saturninus
Marcus Aponius Saturninus was a Senator of Imperial Rome who was the child of wealthy senatorial parents, who owned property in Egypt. He is mentioned in the '' Acta Arvalia'' in the year 57 AD; classicist Ronald Syme suggests that he was made a member of the Arval Brethren due to the influence of Annaeus Seneca. Saturninus is mentioned as being present in 66 for sacrifices on the Capitol with the emperor Nero. Tacitus calls him a consul, but the date of his office is uncertain. He may have been consul in 55; Classical scholar Paul Gallivan at the University of Tasmania has argued that Saturninus was suffect consul between 63 and 66, by which time he was recorded as becoming ''promagister''. Saturninus served as the governor of Moesia in 69, which may have been an appointment of Galba. He repulsed the Sarmatians, who had invaded the province, and was in consequence rewarded by a triumphal statue at the commencement of Otho's reign.
