Lucius Valerius Messalla Thrasea Priscus
Lucius Valerius Messalla Thrasea Priscus (died c. 212) was a Roman senator active during the reigns of Commodus and Septimus Severus. Life Thrasea Priscus was a member of the second century gens Valeria. It is possible he was the son of Lucius Vipstanus Poplicola Messalla, who may have been a '' praetor designatus'' but died before he acceded to the consulate, by his wife Helvidia Priscilla. If so, Thrasea Priscus altered his ''gentilicum'' to reflect his descent through the Vipstani from the republican Valerii. He was appointed consul in 196 as the colleague of Gaius Domitius Dexter. After stepping down from the consulate, Thrasea Priscus may have held the office of ''curator aquarum'' (or supervisor of aqueducts) in Rome, around 198. Thrasea Priscus may have been a partisan of Publius Septimius Geta, the brother and rival of the emperor Caracalla. He became one of the victims of the earliest purges of Caracalla, being struck down in the emperor's presence after the murder of Get ...

Agnomen
An ''agnomen'' (; plural: ''agnomina''), in the Roman naming convention, was a nickname, just as the '' cognomen'' was initially. However, the ''cognomina'' eventually became family names, so ''agnomina'' were needed to distinguish between similarly named persons. However, as the ''agnomen'' was an additional and optional component in a Roman name, not all Romans had an ''agnomen'' (at least not one that is recorded). Pseudo-Probus uses the hero of the Punic Wars, Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus, as an example: Marius Victorinus further elucidates: Africanus, Creticus and the likes are also known as victory titles. For example, Gaius Marcius Coriolanus earned his from the capture of Corioli. Etymology Latin ''agnōmen'' (also spelled ) comes from ''ad'' "to" and ''nōmen'' "name". Caligula As a minimum, a Roman ''agnomen'' is a name attached to an individual's full titulature after birth and formal naming by the family. True Roman nicknames, fully replacing the ...

Gaius Vipstanus Messalla Gallus
(Gaius) Vipstanus Messalla Gallus (c. 10 BC – aft. 60) was a Roman senator. Life He was ''consul suffectus'' in the '' nundinium'' of July-December 48 as the colleague of Lucius Vitellius. J. Devrecker has offered the argument that the elements in his name ought to be set out as Gaius Messalla Vipstanus Gallus.Devrecker"C. Messalla Vipstanus Gallus, ou l'histoire d'un nom" ''Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik'', 22 (1976), pp. 203-206 Gallus has been identified as the proconsul of Asia for the term 59/60. Based on the elements of his ''cognomen'' Messalla, Ronald Syme suggested that Vipstanus Messalla Gallus was the son of Lucius Vipstanus Gallus and a postulated Valeria Messallia, paternal granddaughter of Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinus. He succeeded as ''consul suffectus'' Lucius Vipstanus Poplicola Messalla, who completed his consulate in July 48, and who has been suggested to have been his brother, also based on the elements of his ''cognomeni'' Poplicola ...

Lucius Vipstanus Messalla (orator)
Lucius Vipstanus Messalla (c. 45 – c. 80) was a Roman military officer, senator, and a noted orator. He appears as a character in Tacitus' '' Dialogus de oratoribus''. Biography Vipstanus Messalla is presumed to be the son of Gaius Vipstanus Messalla Gallus, suffect consul in 48. The younger Messalla was a '' tribunus militum'' in 69, stationed with the legion VII Claudia in Moesia which entered the civil war against the emperor Vitellius. He was temporarily in command of the legion in September and October 69, after the legion's legate was forced to flee for his life; later, Messalla wrote an account of the campaign. Messalla was a friend of the historian Tacitus, who used Messalla's account of the campaign in his own work ''Histories''. Tacitus described Messalla as an outstanding orator; in AD 70, Vipstanus Messalla, who was not yet of senatorial age, defended his older half-brother, the notorious informer Marcus Aquilius Regulus in the Curia Julia. Massalla's family's p ...

Lucius Valerius Messalla (consul 214)
Lucius Valerius Messalla (fl. 3rd century) was a Roman senator. Life Messalla, a member of the third century gens Valeria, was possibly the son of Lucius Valerius Messalla Thrasea Priscus and speculatively his wife Coelia Balbina, since the ''cognomen'' Balbinus appears in their great-grandson's name. He apparently did not suffer any repercussions following the purge that saw his father put to death on the orders of the emperor Caracalla in 212, and in fact he was appointed '' consul prior'' in 214, alongside Gaius Octavius Appius Suetrius Sabinus. It is believed this Messalla was the Valerius Messalla who was the proconsul of Asia sometime between 236 and 238. If so, there must have been some political circumstance that resulted in such a lengthy gap between his consulship and the proconsular governorship. Christian Settipani has speculated, due to the combination of both's ''nomina'' and ''cognomina'', that Messalla married Claudia Acilia Priscilliana, daughter of Tiberius Cla ...
