Gens Sulpicia
The gens Sulpicia was one of the most ancient patrician families at ancient Rome, and produced a succession of distinguished men, from the foundation of the Republic to the imperial period. The first member of the gens who obtained the consulship was Servius Sulpicius Camerinus Cornutus, in 500 BC, only nine years after the expulsion of the Tarquins, and the last of the name who appears on the consular list was Sextus Sulpicius Tertullus in AD 158. Although originally patrician, the family also possessed plebeian members, some of whom may have been descended from freedmen of the gens.''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', vol. III, p. 945 ("Sulpicia Gens"). Praenomina The Sulpicii made regular use of only four praenomina: '' Publius, Servius, Quintus'', and ''Gaius''. The only other praenomen appearing under the Republic is ''Marcus'', known from the father of Gaius Sulpicius Peticus, five times consul during the fourth century BC. The last of the Sulpi ...

List Of Early Imperial 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title in Imperial times, together with those magistrates of the Republic who were appointed in place of consuls, or who superseded consular authority for a limited period.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, 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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gaius Poppaeus Sabinus
Gaius Poppaeus Sabinus was a Roman senator (died AD 35), who served as consul in AD 9 with Quintus Sulpicius Camerinus as his colleague. He enjoyed the friendship of the Emperors Augustus and Tiberius. Sabinus was elected to the consulship, with Quintus Sulpicius Camerinus, in AD 9. They served until the Kalends of July, when they were succeeded by Sabinus' brother, Quintus Poppaeus Secundus, and Marcus Papius Mutilus, authors of the ''lex Papia Poppaea'', a law intended to strengthen and encourage marriage. From 15 until his death in 35, Sabinus served as Governor of the combined provinces of Moesia, Achaea, and Macedonia. During his tenure Sabinus oversaw the resolution of a boundary dispute between the communities of Kierion and Metropolis (mod. Palaiokastro Georgikon), both located in ancient Thessaly. Also during his tenure he ended a revolt in Thrace in 26. Consequently, he was awarded the '' ornamenta triumphalia''. Gaius Poppaeus Sabinus died in late December of 35. He i ...

Quintus Poppaeus Secundus
Quintus Poppaeus Q. f. Q. n. Secundus was consul ''suffectus'' in AD 9, and one of the authors of the ''lex Papia Poppaea''. Background Secundus was descended from a respectable, if undistinguished plebeian family. His father and grandfather were also named ''Quintus'', and from their shared filiation we know that Secundus was the brother of Gaius Poppaeus Sabinus, consul ''ordinarius'' in the same year that Secundus was ''suffectus''. It is unclear which was the elder; typically an elder son would be named after his father, but the cognomen ''Secundus'' suggests that he was the younger brother.''PIR'', vol. III, p. 86 ("P", Nos. 627, 628). Consulship Secundus was appointed consul ''suffectus ex Kalendis Juliis'' together with Marcus Papius Mutilus, succeeding Gaius Poppaeus Sabinus and Quintus Sulpicius Camerinus.''Fasti Capitolini'', . They held the consulship for six months, departing at the end of the year. During their term of office, Papius and Poppaeus authored the l ...

Ancient Rome
In modern historiography, ancient Rome refers to Roman civilisation from the founding of the city of Rome in the 8th century BC to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD. It encompasses the Roman Kingdom (753–509 BC), Roman Republic (509–27 BC) and Roman Empire (27 BC–476 AD) until the fall of the western empire. Ancient Rome began as an Italic settlement, traditionally dated to 753 BC, beside the River Tiber in the Italian Peninsula. The settlement grew into the city and polity of Rome, and came to control its neighbours through a combination of treaties and military strength. It eventually dominated the Italian Peninsula, assimilated the Greek culture of southern Italy (Magna Grecia) and the Etruscan culture and acquired an Empire that took in much of Europe and the lands and peoples surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. It was among the largest empires in the ancient world, with an estimated 50 to 90 million inhabitants, roughly ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Marcus Papius Mutilus
The gens Papia was a plebeian family at ancient Rome. Members of this gens are first mentioned at the time of the Samnite Wars, but do not appear at Rome until the final century of the Republic. Marcus Papius Mutilus was the only member of the family to attain the consulship, which he held in AD 9.''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', vol. III, pp. 115, 116 (" Papia Gens"). Origin The Papii were probably of Samnite origin, and several of this family appear in history in connection with the Samnite Wars and the Social War. Chase lists ''Papius'' among those gentilicia which were of Oscan derivation, in this case from the Oscan cognomen ''Papus'', of which another cognomen, ''Papilus'', appears to be a cognate. However, the Papii themselves maintained that they had come from Lanuvium, an ancient city of Latium, and a coin of the gens alludes to one of the founding myths of Lavinium, a town with which Lanuvium was frequently confounded.''Dictionary of Gre ...

Aulus Vibius Habitus
The gens Vibia was a plebeian family at ancient Rome. Although individuals named ''Vibius'' appear in history during the time of the Second Punic War, no members of this gens are found at Rome until the final century of the Republic. The first of the Vibii to obtain the consulship was Gaius Vibius Pansa in 43 BC, and from then until imperial times the Vibii regularly filled the highest offices of the Roman state. The emperors Trebonianus Gallus and Volusianus each claimed descent from the family.''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', vol. III, p. 1252 (" Vibia Gens"). Origin The nomen ''Vibius'' is a patronymic surname, derived from the praenomen '' Vibius'', which must have belonged to an ancestor of the gens. The name is generally regarded as an '' Oscan'' praenomen, and it is found extensively in Campania, but it was also used in Latium, and appears at Rome from a very early period, being used by the patrician Sestii, and occasionally by members ...
