Lucius Neratius Marcellus
Lucius Neratius Marcellus (''fl''. 1st century – 2nd century AD) was an imperial Roman military officer and senator who held a number of posts in the Emperor's service. Marcellus was elected consul twice, first under Domitian in 95AD and again under Hadrian in 129. His life provides several examples of how patronage operated in early Imperial Rome. He was a consul in 95AD, succeeding the Emperor Domitian, and again in 129. He served as a military tribune with the Legio XII Fulminata. He is the first person attested to have held the position of recorder of the minutes of the Senate. He was Governor of Britannia from 101 to 104. This was a period when the under-garrisoned province was under pressure from restless tribes. Marcellus supervised a stabilization of the situation which included a withdrawal from the Antonine Wall to what was later to become the line of Hadrian's Wall. Early life The origins of the gens Neratia lie in the Italian town of Saepinum, located in S ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
List Of Roman Republican 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title in Imperial times, together with those magistrates of the Republic who were appointed in place of consuls, or who superseded consular authority for a limited period.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] |
Lucius Corellius Neratius Pansa
Lucius Corellius Neratius Pansa was a Roman senator, who was active during the reign of Hadrian. He was ordinary consul in AD 122 as the colleague of Manius Acilius Aviola. Other than holding the office of consul, Pansa is only known for being the subject of a letter of Pliny the Younger. Pansa was a member of the gens Neratia, which could boast of consuls before Pansa. Ronald Syme has argued that he was the son of Lucius Neratius Marcellus, consul in 95 and again in 129, and his first wife Corellia Hispulla, the daughter of Quintus Corellius Rufus, suffect consul in 78. An alimentary table dated to 101 listing estates near Beneventum (modern Benevento) records land owned by one Neratius Corellius and Nertarius Marcellus in close connection, further strengthening Syme's argument. In the letter Pliny wrote to Hispulla, he remarks how Pansa will grow up to be like his grandfather in fame and character, then states that the time has come now to send the boy off to school and reco ...

Corellia Hispulla
The fictional universe of the ''Star Wars'' franchise features multiple planets and moons. While only the feature films and selected other works are considered canon to the franchise since the 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm by The Walt Disney Company, some canon planets were first named or explored in works from the non-canon ''Star Wars'' expanded universe, now rebranded ''Star Wars Legends''. In the theatrical ''Star Wars'' films, many scenes set on these planets and moons were filmed on location rather than on a sound stage. For example, the resort city of Canto Bight located on the planet Cantonica, seen in '' Star Wars: The Last Jedi'' (2017), was filmed in Dubrovnik, Croatia. ''Star Wars'' canon astrography The ''Star Wars'' galaxy contains several broad sub-regions. Their exact definitions fluctuated somewhat during the ''Legends'' continuity, but were later formally updated by the new canon continuity when Disney purchased Lucasfilm. The new canon map is bro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lucius Domitius Apollinaris
Lucius Domitius Apollinaris was a Roman senator of the late first century. He is best known for his literary activities, as an acquaintance of Pliny the Younger and a patron of the poet Martial. He was appointed suffect consul in the ''nundinium'' of July to August 97 with Sextus Hermentidius Campanus as his colleague. Martial dedicated three of the books of his epigrams to Apollinaris: the fourth, seventh, and eleventh. Life The family origins of Apollinaris lie in Vercellae in Northwestern Italy. Thanks to the ingenuous identification of Apollinaris with the subject of a headless inscription found in Asia Minor by Werner Eck, we know most of the earliest steps of his ''cursus honorum''. Apollinaris' first recorded republican magistracy was quaestor, which was followed by plebeian tribune, and praetor. Then he was appointed one of the nine ''curatores viarum'', or curator of the public roads, in Italy. This was followed by two terms of service as ''legatus legionis'' or comman ...

Marcus Hirrius Fronto Neratius Pansa
Marcus Hirrius Fronto Neratius Pansa was a Roman senator who held several posts in the emperor's service. He was appointed suffect consul in either AD 73 or 74. Pansa is known primarily through epigraphic inscriptions. The origins of the gens Neratia lie in the Italian town of Saepinum in the heart of Samnium. The name of Pansa's father, beyond the ''gentilicum'' Neratius, is not known, although experts agree that Lucius Neratius Priscus was his brother. Experts also believe Pansa acquired the name elements "Marcus Hirrius" from his adoptive father, a member of the gens Hirrii; this adoption occurred before the creation of the earliest surviving inscription bearing his name.Olli Salomies, ''Adoptive and polyonymous nomenclature in the Roman Empire'', (Helsinski: Societas Scientiarum Fenica, 1992), p. 117 Career Pansa's career in the emperor's service is not fully recorded. His earliest known office was Lycia from 70 to 72, prior to its federation with Pamphylia. A fragmentary i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lucius Neratius Priscus (consul 87)
Lucius Neratius Priscus was a Roman senator who held several posts in the emperor's service. He was suffect consul for the ''nundinium'' September–December AD 87 as the colleague of Gaius Cilnius Proculus. Priscus is known almost entirely from inscriptions recovered from Saepinum. Based on G. Camodeca's restoration of one inscription, his career can to some extent be recovered. Priscus was adlected ''inter praetorios'' into the Roman Senate by Vespasian and Titus in either 73 or 74, most likely for his loyalty during the Year of Four Emperors. During the reign of Domitian, he served as ''prefectus aerarium Saturni'' from the year 84 to 86. Following his consulship, Priscus was ''legatus pro praetor'', or governor, of the imperial province of Pannonia, which Werner Eck dates from 91 to 94. Although the name of his wife is not known, it is known that Priscus had two sons, Marcellus and Priscus. Marcellus was adopted by Priscus' childless older brother, Marcus Hirrius Fronto Nerat ...

Lucius Neratius Priscus
Lucius Neratius Priscus was a Roman Senator and leading jurist, serving for a time as the head of the Proculeian school. He was suffect consul in the ''nundinium'' of May–June 97 as the colleague of Marcus Annius Verus. Family The origins of the gens Neratia lie in the Italian town of Saepinum in the heart of Samnium; Priscus' father was the homonymous suffect consul of the year 87. He is known to have a younger brother, Lucius Neratius Marcellus, who was adopted by their uncle Marcus Hirrius Fronto Neratius Pansa who was suffect consul in either 73 or 74 and co-opted into the Patrician class; Marcellus became suffect consul two years before Priscus, and ordinary consul in 129. The existence of a son with the identical name and consul in either 122 or 123, inferred from the existence of the possible governor of Pannonia Inferior, was disproved by a 1976 paper written by G. Camodeca, whose findings were embraced by Ronald Syme. Career Most of Priscus' advancement through th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Samnium
Samnium ( it, Sannio) is a Latin exonym for a region of Southern Italy anciently inhabited by the Samnites. Their own endonyms were ''Safinim'' for the country (attested in one inscription and one coin legend) and ''Safineis'' for the The language of these endonyms and of the population was the Oscan language. However, not all the Samnites spoke Oscan, and not all the Oscan-speakers lived in Samnium. Ancient geographers were unable to relay a precise definition of Samnium's borders. Moreover, the areas it included vary depending on the time period considered. The main configurations are the borders it had during the ''floruit'' of the Oscan speakers, from about 600 BC to about 290 BC, when it was finally absorbed by the Roman Republic. The original territory of Samnium should not be confused with the later territory of the same name. Rome's first Emperor, Augustus, divided Italy into 11 regions. Although these entities only served administrative purposes, and were identified ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Saepinum
Saepinum (modern Altilia, near Sepino) was a Samnite town located c. south of the modern Campobasso in south central Italy. Saepinum was on the ancient road from Beneventum to Corfinium. History The position of the original town is on the mountain far above the Roman town, and remains of its walls in Cyclopean masonry still exist. It was captured by the Romans in 293 BC. The city walls (in ''opus reticulatum'') of the Roman town were erected by Tiberius before he became emperor, and are dated to between 2 BC and 4 AD by an inscription. Within the city walls are remains of a theatre and other buildings, including temples of Jupiter and Apollo. There still exists, by the gate leading to Bovianum, an important inscription of about 168 AD, relating to the ''tratture'' (see Apulia) in Roman days, forbidding the natives to harm the shepherds who passed along them. The presence of tombs from the 4th century within the city walls suggests that the city had been largely abandoned by ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Neratia (gens)
The gens Neratia or Naeratia was a plebeian family at ancient Rome, some of whom subsequently became patricians. The first of the gens to appear in history occur in the time of Augustus, but they did not rise to prominence until the time of Vespasian, when Marcus Neratius Pansa became the first to obtain the consulship. The Neratii married into the Roman imperial family in the fourth century. Origin The nomen ''Neratius'' is classified by Chase with a group of names, ending in ''-atius'', either because they were derived from cognomina ending in ''-as'' or ''-atis'', indicating cognomina derived from place names, or from passive participles ending in ''-atus''. Members Neratii Pansae et Prisci * Marcus Hirrius Fronto Neratius Pansa, probably the adoptive father of Marcellus, was consul ''suffectus'' about AD 75. He had been governor of Lycia, and was probably made a patrician in 73 or 74; he passed this status to Marcellus. * Lucius Neratius Priscus, probably the father of ...
