Servius (praenomen)
Servius (), feminine Servia, is a Latin ''praenomen'', or given name, personal name, which was used throughout the period of the Roman Republic, and well into imperial times. It was used by both patrician and plebeian families, and gave rise to the patronymic ''Servilia (gens), gens Servilia''. The name was regularly abbreviated Ser. Servius was never one of the most common praenomina; about ten other names were used more frequently. Most families did not use it, although it was a favorite of the Cornelia gens, ''gens Cornelii'' and the Sulpicia gens, ''gens Sulpicii'', two of the greatest patrician houses at Rome. The name gradually became less common towards the end of the Republic, but was still used in imperial times. Origin and meaning of the name The original meaning of Servius was forgotten by the late Republic. Chase derives the name from the verb ''servo'', ''to keep'' or ''preserve''. This seems consistent with other Latin praenomina, such as ''Sertor (praenomen), Sertor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

In the later dialogue '' Brutus'', Cicero praised the artistry of his legal learning as well as his eloquence.

The consuls tried to raise troops against the Aequi and the Volsci, traditional enemies of Rome. The tribunes used their veto to block the levy.

Servius Cornelius Maluginensis (consular Tribune 386 BC)
Servius Cornelius Maluginensis was a politician and general of the Roman Republic. He was elected consular tribune seven times in 386, 384, 382, 380, 376, 370, and 368 BC.

The cognomen ''Maluginensis'' is the first recorded among the Cornelii; it was first borne by Servius Cornelius, also the first consul of the gens. Servius was the son of Publius Cornelius Maluginensis, consular tribune in 404, and the grandson of Marcus Cornelius Maluginensis, consul in 436.

Servius The Grammarian
Servius, distinguished as Servius the Grammarian ( or ), was a late fourth-century and early fifth-century grammarian. He earned a contemporary reputation as the most learned man of his generation in Italy; he authored a set of commentaries on the works of Virgil. These works, ("Exposition on Three Works of Virgil"), ("Commentaries on Virgil"), ("Commentaries on the Works of Vergil"), or ("Commentaries on the Poems of Virgil"), constituted the first incunable to be printed at Florence, by Bernardo Cennini, in 1471. In the ''Saturnalia'' of Macrobius, Servius appears as one of the interlocutors; allusions in that work and a letter from Symmachus to Servius indicate that he was not a convert to Christianity. Name The name Servius also appears as Seruius owing to the unity of the Latin letters V and U from antiquity until as late as the 18th century. Many medieval manuscripts of Servius's commentaries give him the praenomen Marius or Maurus and the cognomen Honoratus. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Servius Cornelius Lentulus Maluginensis
Servius Cornelius Lentulus Maluginensis (died AD 23) was a Roman statesman, who flourished during the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius. He was ''flamen dialis'', and consul ''suffectus'' in AD 10. Descent Descended from the patrician Cornelia gens, Cornelius' father and grandfather were both named ''Gnaeus'', and they belonged to the family of the Cornelii Lentuli, which first appears in Roman history during the fourth century BC.''Fasti Capitolini'', . Their relationship to other prominent members of the family is not immediately apparent. It is possibly that Cornelius' father was a quaestor in 29 BC; he also might be the same person with Gnaeus Cornelius Lentulus Augur. The surname ''Maluginensis'' was borne by the most ancient branch of the Cornelii, but had long since vanished from use; in Imperial times old cognomina were frequently revived. Career Cornelius' chief notability is for having been appointed ''flamen dialis'', the high priest of Jupiter, at the direction of Au ...
