Triarius Maternus
Triarius Maternus, otherwise known as Triarius Maternus Lascivius was a Roman Senator who was '' consul ordinarius'' in 185 CE with Atticus Bradua as his colleague. Life Triarius Maternus was a member of a noble family whose members achieved the consulate throughout the Antonine era. It is surmised that he was the son of Aulus Junius Rufinus (''consul ordinarius'' in 153) and a Pomponia whose father was Quintus Pomponius Maternus (suffect consul in 128). His ''praenomen'' is unknown while his ''agnomen'' Lascivius is only attested in the ''Historia Augusta'', and may be a fictional addition by the author based upon the events of 193 CE. Prior to his consulate in 185, he was attested as a ''iuridicus'' of Asturia. Triarius Maternus was eventually caught up in the aftermath of the assassination of the emperor Commodus and the accession of Pertinax. According to the ''Historia Augusta'', the Praetorian Guard, unhappy with the elevation of Pertinax, tried to bring Triarius to their ...

Roman Empire
The Roman Empire ( la, Imperium Romanum ; grc-gre, Βασιλεία τῶν Ῥωμαίων, Basileía tôn Rhōmaíōn) was the post- Republican period of ancient Rome. As a polity, it included large territorial holdings around the Mediterranean Sea in Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, and was ruled by emperors. From the accession of Caesar Augustus as the first Roman emperor to the military anarchy of the 3rd century, it was a Principate with Italia as the metropole of its provinces and the city of Rome as its sole capital. The Empire was later ruled by multiple emperors who shared control over the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire. The city of Rome remained the nominal capital of both parts until AD 476 when the imperial insignia were sent to Constantinople following the capture of the Western capital of Ravenna by the Germanic barbarians. The adoption of Christianity as the state church of the Roman Empire in AD 380 and the fall of th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Praetorian Guard
The Praetorian Guard (Latin: ''cohortēs praetōriae'') was a unit of the Imperial Roman army that served as personal bodyguards and intelligence agents for the Roman emperors. During the Roman Republic, the Praetorian Guard were an escort for high-rank political officials ( senators and procurators) and were bodyguards for the senior officers of the Roman legions. In 27 BC, after Rome's transition from republic to empire, the first emperor of Rome, Augustus, designated the Praetorians as his personal security escort. For three centuries, the guards of the Roman emperor were also known for their palace intrigues, by which influence upon imperial politics the Praetorians could overthrow an emperor and then proclaim his successor as the new '' caesar'' of Rome. In AD 312, Constantine the Great disbanded the and destroyed their barracks at the Castra Praetoria. In the Roman Republic In the period of the Roman Republic (509–27 BC) the Praetorian Guard originated as bodygua ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
3rd-century Romans
The 3rd century was the period from 201 ( CCI) to 300 ( CCC) Anno Domini (AD) or Common Era (CE) in the Julian calendar.. In this century, the Roman Empire saw a crisis, starting with the assassination of the Roman Emperor Severus Alexander in 235, plunging the empire into a period of economic troubles, barbarian incursions, political upheavals, civil wars, and the split of the Roman Empire through the Gallic Empire in the west and the Palmyrene Empire in the east, which all together threatened to destroy the Roman Empire in its entirety, but the reconquests of the seceded territories by Emperor Aurelian and the stabilization period under Emperor Diocletian due to the administrative strengthening of the empire caused an end to the crisis by 284. This crisis would also mark the beginning of Late Antiquity. In Persia, the Parthian Empire was succeeded by the Sassanid Empire in 224 after Ardashir I defeated and killed Artabanus V during the Battle of Hormozdgan. The Sassanids ...

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] |

Aulus Triarius Rufinus
Aulus (abbreviated A.) is one of the small group of common forenames found in the culture of ancient Rome. The name was traditionally connected with Latin ''aula'', ''olla'', "palace", but this is most likely a false etymology. ''Aulus'' in fact probably derives from Etruscan ''Aule'', ''Avle'', ''Avile'', of unknown meaning. Aulus may refer to: * Aulus Agerius or Numerius Negidius (a name for the plaintiff in a lawsuit) * Aulus Atilius Calatinus * Aulus Avilius Flaccus * Aulus Ofilius * Aulus Caecina Alienus * Aulus Caecina Severus (suffect consul 1 BC) * Aulus Caecina Severus (writer) * Aulus Cornelius Celsus * Aulus Cornelius Cossus * Aulus Cremutius Cordus * Aulus Didius Gallus * Aulus Didius Gallus Fabricius Veiento * Aulus Gabinius * Aulus Gellius * Aulus Hirtius - consul after Caesar * Aulus Licinius Archias * Aulus Licinius Nerva Silianus * Aulus Metellus or Aule Metele * Aulus Paulinus - fictional governor of Britain in Chelmsford 123 * Aulus Persius Flaccus * Aulus P ...

Gaius Julius Erucius Clarus Vibianus
Gaius Julius Erucius Clarus Vibianus (died 197 CE) was a Roman politician and senator. He was '' consul ordinarius'' with Quintus Pompeius Sosius Falco in early 193, during the reign of Pertinax. Life Vibianus came from an Italian family or from one of the Western provinces. He was the son of Gaius Erucius Clarus, consul in 170 CE, who belonged to the powerful equestrian family of the Erucii. His paternal grandfather, Sextus Erucius Clarus, was consul in 146 CE, and before that City Prefect of Rome. His great-grandfather, who was consul ''suffectus'' in 117 CE, was the brother (or perhaps half-brother) of Gaius Septicius Clarus. His mother was Pomponia Triaria, the sister of Triarius Maternus, the consul of 185 CE. Initially appointed to the consulate by the emperor Commodus, in the aftermath of the emperor's assassination, it was alleged by the conspirators that Commodus had planned to murder Vibianus and his colleague Falco on 1 January 193, and replace them with himself ...

Pertinax
Publius Helvius Pertinax (; 1 August 126 – 28 March 193) was Roman emperor for the first three months of 193. He succeeded Commodus to become the first emperor during the tumultuous Year of the Five Emperors. Born the son of a freed slave, Pertinax became an officer in the army. He fought in the Roman–Parthian War of 161–166, where his success led him to be promoted to higher positions in both the military and political spheres. He achieved the rank of provincial governor and urban prefect. He was a member of the Roman Senate, serving at the same time as the historian Cassius Dio. Following the death of Commodus, Pertinax was proclaimed emperor. He attempted to institute several reform measures, although the short duration of his reign as emperor prevented the success of those attempts. One of those reforms, the restoration of discipline among the Praetorian Guard, led to conflict that eventually culminated in Pertinax's assassination by the Guard. Pertinax would ...

Roman Senate
The Roman Senate ( la, Senātus Rōmānus) was a governing and advisory assembly in ancient Rome. It was one of the most enduring institutions in Roman history, being established in the first days of the city of Rome (traditionally founded in 753 BC). It survived the overthrow of the Roman monarchy in 509 BC; the fall of the Roman Republic in the 1st century BC; the division of the Roman Empire in AD 395; and the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476; Justinian's attempted reconquest of the west in the 6th century, and lasted well into the Eastern Roman Empire's history. During the days of the Roman Kingdom, most of the time the Senate was little more than an advisory council to the king, but it also elected new Roman kings. The last king of Rome, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, was overthrown following a coup d'état led by Lucius Junius Brutus, who founded the Roman Republic. During the early Republic, the Senate was politically weak, while the various executive magistr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
