Julius Licinus
Julius Licinus was a Gallic freedman, who worked as a procurator for the Roman emperor Augustus in Gaul. He became rather infamous for the amount of wealth he extracted from Gaul and for his methods in doing so.Anthony A. Barrett: ''Herod, Augustus, and the Special Relationship: The Significance of the Procuratorship.'' In: David Jacobson, Nikos Kokkinos: ''Herod and Augustus: Papers Presented at the IJS Conference, 21st-23rd June 2005''. Brill, 2008, , pp294–295/ref>Paula James: ''Understand Roman Civilization: Teach Yourself''. Hachette, 2012, , p167/ref> Licinus was captured and enslaved by Julius Caesar during the Gallic Wars. Later Caesar freed him and under Augustus he was assigned the position of a procurator for all of Gaul or parts of it. The exact dates for his appointment are not known, but by the time Augustus visited Gaul in 16/15 BC Licinus had been in office for a number of years and already garnered a somewhat dubious reputation. Cassius Dio described him as having ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gens Claudia
The gens Claudia (), sometimes written Clodia, was one of the most prominent patrician houses at ancient Rome. The gens traced its origin to the earliest days of the Roman Republic. The first of the Claudii to obtain the consulship was Appius Claudius Sabinus Regillensis, in 495 BC, and from that time its members frequently held the highest offices of the state, both under the Republic and in imperial times.''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', vol. I, p. 762 ("Claudia Gens"). Plebeian Claudii are found fairly early in Rome's history. Some may have been descended from members of the family who had passed over to the plebeians, while others were probably the descendants of freedmen of the gens. In the later Republic, one of its patrician members voluntarily converted to plebeian status and adopted the spelling " Clodius". In his life of the emperor Tiberius, who was a scion of the Claudii, the historian Suetonius gives a summary of the gens, and says, " ...

Gens Porcia
The gens Porcia, rarely written Portia, was a plebeian family at Ancient Rome. Its members first appear in history during the third century BC. The first of the gens to achieve the consulship was Marcus Porcius Cato in 195 BC, and from then until imperial times, the Porcii regularly occupied the highest offices of the Roman state.''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', vol. III, p. 498 ("Porcia Gens"). Origin The nomen ''Porcius'' was derived from ''porcus'', a pig. It belongs to a class of gentilicia derived from the names of common animals and objects, such as ''Asinius'', ''Ovinius'', ''Caprarius'', and ''Taurus''. The Porcii were reputed to have come from the ancient city of Tusculum in Latium. This tradition was alluded to in a speech given by the emperor Claudius. Praenomina The chief praenomina of the Porcii were '' Marcus'' and ''Lucius'', two of the most common names throughout Roman history. The Porcii Catones favoured ''Marcus'', almost to t ...

Sariolena Gens
The gens Sariolena was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. They were of senatorial rank, and Lucius Sariolenus Naevius Fastus obtained the consulship in the time of Antoninus Pius.. Origin The nomen ''Sariolenus'' belongs to a class of gentilicia derived from other names using the suffix ''-enus''. The root of the name should be ''Sariolus'', perhaps a diminutive of '' Sarius''. Praenomina The only praenomina associated with the Sarioleni are ''Lucius'', '' Publius'', ''Quintus'', and ''Titus'', all of which were among the most common names throughout Roman history. Branches and cognomina There is no evidence that the Sarioleni were ever divided into distinct families, and all of their cognomina seem to have been personal, rather than inherited. Many belonged to freedmen, whose surnames had been their personal names prior to their manumission. Among other cognomina, ''Vocula'', a diminutive of ''vox'', a voice, seems to have been bestowed on the senator Sariolenus beca ...
