Latin Language
Latin (, or , ) is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin was originally a dialect spoken in the lower Tiber area (then known as Latium) around present-day Rome, but through the power of the Roman Republic it became the dominant language in the Italian region and subsequently throughout the Roman Empire. Even after the fall of Western Rome, Latin remained the common language of international communication, science, scholarship and academia in Europe until well into the 18th century, when other regional vernaculars (including its own descendants, the Romance languages) supplanted it in common academic and political usage, and it eventually became a dead language in the modern linguistic definition. Latin is a highly inflected language, with three distinct genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), six or seven noun cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative, and vocative), five declensions, four v ...

Gaius Caristanius Fronto
Gaius Caristanius Fronto was a Roman soldier and equites whom Vespasian promoted to the Roman Senate for his loyalty to the latter in the Year of Four Emperors (AD 69). He was appointed suffect consul in AD 90 as the colleague of Quintus Accaeus Rufus. In the words of G.L. Cheesman, Caristanius Fronto came of a family "of Italian origin, but had never risen into prominence there. One of its members was presumably enrolled in the army during the civil wars, and included among the veterans settled in the ' colonia' at Antioch", that is Antioch in Pisidia Other inscriptions there attest to an ancestor with a similar name, Gaius Caristanius Fronto Casesianus Julius. Casesianus Julius was the representative of Publius Sulpicius Quirinius, the titular duumvir of the ''colonia'', and Cheesman surmises that Casesianus Julius participated in the war against the Homonadesians who had settled in the Taurus Mountains between Attaleia and Ikonion, a war that Quirinius brought to a suc ...
