Proculus
Proculus (died c. 281) was a Roman usurper, one of the "minor pretenders" according to ''Historia Augusta'', who would have taken the purple against Emperor Probus in 280. This is now disputed. Probably Proculus had family connection with the Franks, to whom he turned in vain when his bid for imperial power was failing. He was a native of Albingaunum (modern Albenga in Liguria in north-west Italy). Though he was accounted a noble, his ancestors had been brigands and were the source of his vast wealth. Proculus was able to arm 2000 slaves of his own latifundia after seizing imperial office in the West. He was married to a woman named Vituriga, who was given the nickname "Samso" for her capabilities (considered "unwomanly" by the fourth century author of ''Historia Augusta''),''huic uxor virago, quae illum in hanc praecipitavit dementiam, nomine Samso, quod ei postea inditum est, nam antea Vituriga nominata est.'' and at the time of his usurpation, he had one son, Herennianus, ag ...

Proculus (praenomen)
:''This page is about the Latin praenomen. For the 3rd-century usurper, see Proculus. For any of several saints named Proculus, see Saint Proculus (other).'' Proculus is a Latin praenomen, or personal name, which was most common during the early centuries of the Roman Republic. It gave rise to the patronymic gentes Proculeia and Procilia, and later became a common cognomen, or surname. The feminine form is ''Procula''. The name was not regularly abbreviated. Use ''Proculus'' was an uncommon name, but was occasionally used by both patrician and plebeian families. Those known to have used it included the Betutii, Geganii, Julii, Sertorii, and Verginii; and naturally Proculus must once have been used by the ancestors of the gentes Proculeia and Procilia. Other families which later used the name as a cognomen may originally have used it as a praenomen. The scholar Varro described ''Proculus'' as an archaic praenomen, which was no longer in general use by the first ce ...

Proculus (jurist)
Proculus (fl. 1st century CE) was an ancient Roman jurist who founded a distinctive tradition of the interpretation of Roman law. His followers were known as the "Proculiani", or Proculeans, after him. The full name of Proculus is unknown. He apparently wrote at least eight books of legal epistles. Passages from his writings are repeatedly cited in legal digests, where his opinion is given in matters of dispute. Proculus appears to have developed the interpretations of the earlier jurist Marcus Antistius Labeo, on whose work he is said to have written a commentary.William Smith, ''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities'', 1870, p. 541. Though Proculus did not always agree with Labeo, the two were usually paired in contrast with an alternative tradition identified with Ateius Capito and Masurius Sabinus, who founded the rival Sabinian school of interpretation, which was typically more conservative and rigid. The most famous topic of disagreement concerned the ownership of ma ...

Proculus Julius
Proculus Julius is a figure in the legendary history of the Roman Kingdom. His reported visitation by King Romulus, Rome's putative founder and first ruler, shortly after the king's disappearance convinces the people of Rome to accept Romulus' divinity and the claims by the senate that he had been taken up by the gods in a whirlwind. Livy's account In the Augustan-era historian Livy's ''From the Founding of the City'', Romulus is attending a public review of the army at Palus Caprae when a sudden, violent storm envelops him in mist. When it clears, the King is gone. The nobles sitting near him claimed that he had been carried into the sky by a divine force. The commoners present hail their now lost king and proclaim him a god. Despite this, Livy relates that there was among a few people found the suspicion that the nobles had killed and dismembered him. Proculus is described by Livy as being a trusted authority on "magnae rei" (great/supernatural events). He tells the ...

Proculus Of Bologna
Saint Proculus of Bologna or Saint Proculus the Soldier (died c. 304 AD) is an Italian saint. He is said to have been a Roman officer who was martyred at Bologna under Diocletian. Traditional Narrative Saint Proculus is a patron of Bologna. There are two distinct legends. Proculus (sometimes called ''Proculus Soldato'') was a soldier, active in spreading Christianity. In the time of the Diocletian, one Marinus was sent to Bologna to enforce the emperor's edict. Enraged at his cruelties, Proculus went to his house and killed Marinus with an axe. He was himself subsequently beheaded, and the martyr carried his head to the location where a church would later be dedicated to him. The second account concerns a bishop of Terni, who, attempting to flee persecution from the Goths, came to Bologna where he was subsequently decapitated. The Bolognese have held Proculus in veneration from very ancient times. His remains are preserved in the church of San Procolo in Bologna. He is depi ...

Proculus (prefect Of Constantinople)
Proculus (died in Constantinople, November 16, 393) or Proklos () was Eparch of Constantinople during the reign of Theodosius the Great (r. 379–395. An epigram on the pedestal of an obelisk at the hippodrome of Constantinople records his success in setting the obelisk upright. A Latin translation of the epigram by Hugo Grotius is given by Fabricius.'' Bibl. Graec.'' vol. ix. p. 368. Biography Proculus was the son of Eutolmius Tatianus. He held the posts of governor of Palestine and of Phoenicia; between 383 and 384 he was ''Comes Orientis''. During this time, his name was carved on the Commemorative stela of Nahr el-Kalb. In 388, shortly before leaving for a campaign in the West against the usurper Magnus Maximus, Emperor Theodosius I appointed him ''praefectus urbi'' of Constantinople. In 392 he fell into disgrace: the general and statesman Rufinus, jealous of the power of Proculus and of his father (who was praetorian prefect of the East), used his influence to launch a ...

San Procolo, Bologna
San Procolo is an early Gothic-style, Roman Catholic church and former monastery-hospital located on Via Massimo D'Azeglio #52 in central Bologna, region of Emilia Romagna, Italy. History The church was erected by Benedictine Monks from the Abbey of Monte Cassino by 1087. It was dedicated to the martyred soldier Proculus of Bologna. The church and adjacent monastery remained under Benedictine rule, until 1796, when Napoleon suppressed the Benedictine order in Bologna. The Benedictine order, in addition to its contemplative activities, maintained a hostel for pilgrims. In 1297, an adjacent hospital was converted into a hospital, run by nuns of the order of ''Santa Maria degli Angioli'' or ''degl'Innocenti'', for the abandoned children. In the early 19th century, the ''Ospizio degli Esposti'' was moved from elsewhere in Bologna to this monastery. Architecture A major reconstruction of the church started at the end of the 14th century under a Bartolomeo Gillij. A new façade was a ...

History A church at the site was present by 13th century. The façade is in rough stone with a central rose window and two large side windows. Three other open windows along the sides on Via Pandolfini.
