Philosopher
A philosopher is a person who practices or investigates philosophy. The term ''philosopher'' comes from the grc, φιλόσοφος, , translit=philosophos, meaning 'lover of wisdom'. The coining of the term has been attributed to the Greek thinker Pythagoras (6th century BCE).. In the classical sense, a philosopher was someone who lived according to a certain way of life, focusing upon resolving existential questions about the human condition; it was not necessary that they discoursed upon theories or commented upon authors. Those who most arduously committed themselves to this lifestyle would have been considered ''philosophers''. In a modern sense, a philosopher is an intellectual who contributes to one or more branches of philosophy, such as aesthetics, ethics, epistemology, philosophy of science, logic, metaphysics, social theory, philosophy of religion, and political philosophy. A philosopher may also be someone who has worked in the humanities or other sciences whi ...

Lucius Egnatius Victor
(Lucius) Egnatius Victor (fl. 3rd century) was a Roman military officer and senator who was appointed suffect consul for an uncertain ''nundinium'' prior to 207. Biography Egnatius Victor was a member of the second and third century ''gens Egnatia'', which most likely originated in Etruria, although Numidian and Bithynian origins have also been suggested. It has been conjectured that he was the son of Aulus Egnatius Priscillianus, a Roman philosopher. Before AD 207, Egnatius Victor was appointed suffect consul, since in 207 he was the ''Legatus Augusti pro praetore'' in Pannonia Superior, which was a proconsular posting. Egnatius Victor possibly married a daughter of Quintus Hedius Rufus Lollianus Gentianus, and he was probably the father of Lucius Egnatius Victor Lollianus (suffect consul around 225/230) and Egnatia Mariniana, who became the wife of the future emperor Valerian and the mother of the emperor Gallienus Publius Licinius Egnatius Gallienus (; c. 218 – September ...

Quintus Egnatius Proculus (suffect Consul 219)
Quintus Egnatius Proculus (fl. 3rd century) was a Roman senator. Biography Egnatius Proculus was a member of the second and third century ''gens Egnatia'', and it has been speculated that he was the son of Aulus Egnatius Priscillianus, a Roman philosopher. It is certain that he was appointed suffect consul sometime in a ''nundinium'' in the late second or early third century; however, it has been speculated that he was appointed suffect consul in a ''nundinium'' around 219. Some unknown time after his appointment as suffect consul, it is postulated that he was the same Egnatius Proculus who was appointed ''legatus Augusti consularis ad corrigendum statum liberarum civitatium provinciae Achaiae'' (or imperial legate responsible for correcting the state of affairs in the province of Achaea). Egnatius Proculus was possibly the brother of Aulus Egnatius Proculus and Lucius Egnatius Victor. It is possible that he married a daughter of Lucius Marius Perpetuus.Mennen, pg. 101 It is spec ...

Marcus Egnatius Postumus
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 r ...
