Afranius Hannibalianus
Afranius Hannibalianus (fl. 3rd century) was the consul of 292, a praetorian prefect, a senator and a military officer and commander. Biography Believed to belong to a family who originated from the eastern provinces of the Roman Empire, Hannibalianus was a military commander who served under the emperor Probus (r. 276–282). A member of the Equestrian order (as noted by the official reference to him as a ''vir eminentissimus'', which was reserved for the equestrian order), he probably was only adlected to the senatorial order after the death of Probus in 282. He was elevated to the rank of Praetorian prefect of the west in 286 under Maximian, and had led the imperial armies to victory over the Germanic tribes along the Rhine in that year. Hannibalianus held this rank until probably 292, when he was appointed '' consul prior'' alongside Julius Asclepiodotus. Then from 297–298, he served as the ''Praefectus urbi'' of Rome. Hannibalianus was possibly married to Eutropia, who di ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Roman Consul
The consuls were the highest elected public officials of the Roman Republic ( to 27 BC). Romans considered the consulship the second-highest level of the ''cursus honorum''an ascending sequence of public offices to which politicians aspiredafter that of the Roman censor, censor, which was reserved for former consuls. Each year, the Centuriate Assembly elected two consuls to serve jointly for a one-year term. The consuls alternated each month holding ''fasces'' (taking turns leading) when both were in Rome. A consul's ''imperium'' (military power) extended over Rome and all its Roman provinces, provinces. Having two consuls created a check on the power of any one individual, in accordance with the republican belief that the powers of the former King of Rome, 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 Roman Empire, Empire (27 BC), the consuls became mere symboli ...

Flavia Maximiana Theodora
Flavia Maximiana Theodora (died before 337) was a Roman empress as the wife of Constantius Chlorus. Biography Early life She is often referred to as a stepdaughter of Emperor Maximian by ancient sources, leading to claims by historians Otto Seeck and Ernest Stein that she was born from an earlier marriage between Eutropia, wife of Maximian, and Afranius Hannibalianus. This man was consul in 292 and praetorian prefect under Diocletian. Timothy Barnes challenges this view, arguing that all "stepdaughter sources" derive their information from the hypothetical 4th century '' Enmannsche Kaisergeschichte'', which Barnes considers unreliable, while sources he considers to be more reliable refer to Theodora as Maximian's daughter, rather than his stepdaughter. He concludes that she was born to an earlier wife of Maximian, possibly one of Hannibalianus's daughters. Although Julia Hillner agreed with the idea of Theodora being Maximian's biological daughter, she also observed that Barn ...

3rd-century Praetorian Prefects
The 3rd century was the period from AD 201 (represented by the Roman numerals CCI) to AD 300 (CCC) in accordance with the Julian calendar. In this century, the Roman Empire saw a crisis, starting with the assassination of the Roman Emperor Severus Alexander in 235, plunging the empire into a period of economic troubles, barbarian incursions, political upheavals, civil wars, and the split of the Roman Empire through the Gallic Empire in the west and the Palmyrene Empire in the east, which all together threatened to destroy the Roman Empire in its entirety, but the reconquests of the seceded territories by Emperor Aurelian and the stabilization period under Emperor Diocletian due to the administrative strengthening of the empire caused an end to the crisis by 284. This crisis would also mark the beginning of Late Antiquity. While in North Africa, Roman rule continued with growing Christian influence, particularly in the region of Carthage. In Persia, the Parthian Empire was succ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

After the deaths of Carus and his son Numerian on a campaign in Sasanian Empire, Persia, Diocles was proclaimed emperor by the troops, taking the name "Diocletianus".

Diocletian's reign stabilized the empire and ended the Crisis of the Third Century.

List Of 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. Traditionally, two were simultaneously appointed for a year-long term, 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 yea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cassius Dio (consul 291)
Cassius Dio (; 291–297) was a Roman senator who was appointed consul in AD 291. Biography Cassius Dio was either the grandson or great-grandson of his namesake, the historian Cassius Dio, whose family originated in Bithynia. He was appointed '' consul posterior'' in 291 alongside Gaius Junius Tiberianus at quite a young age. This was followed by a posting as Proconsular governor of Africa from approximately 1 July 294 to 1 July 295.Martindale & Jones, pg. 253 Then on 18 February 296, he was appointed ''Praefectus urbi'' of Rome, a position he held until 297. Cassius Dio owned a house on the Palatine Hill called the ''Domus Dionis''. At some stage, he and 12 other senators each contributed 400,000 sesterces, probably for the construction of a building.

Gaius Junius Tiberianus
Gaius Junius Tiberianus (born c. AD 230) was a Roman soldier and senator who was appointed consul twice, first around AD 265, and then in AD 291. Biography According to the notoriously unreliable ''Historia Augusta'', Tiberianus was related in some way to the emperor Aurelian. In AD 249, Tiberianus was a Military tribune attached to the Legio X Gemina, stationed at Vindobona in the province of Pannonia Superior. It is believed that Tiberianus was made consul designate around the year AD 265. This was followed by a second consulship in AD 291, when he was ''consul prior'' alongside Cassius Dio, implying he had a long and distinguished career. Tiberianus also served as ''praefectus urbi'' of Rome from February 18, 291 to August 3, 292. The ''Historia Augusta'' relates an incident where the supposed writer of Aurelian's biography had a discussion with Tiberianus, which has been traditionally dated to during his term as Urban Prefect: Junius Tiberianus, the prefect of the city, an i ...
