THE LEADERS of the SCHOOLS the Sabinian C. Ateius Capito, Who APPENDIX TWO THE LEADERS OF THE SCHOOLS 1. Biographical Sketch of the Leaders of the Sabinian School The Sabinian C. Ateius Capito, who died in 22 ad, was a jurist of a modest senatorial family. According to Pomponius, he was a tra- ditional jurist and a follower of the jurist Aulus Ofilius. In 5 ad, he held the office of consul suffectus and, from 13 ad, he was as curator aquarum in charge of the water supply. The work of Capito has not survived and is known only through quotations by other jurists.1 After C. Ateius Capito, Massurius Sabinus became head of the Sabinian school, which was named after him. He lived in the early 1st century ad. Because he was not a member of the Senate and did not have a political career, he occupied a special position among the jurists. He did not attain equestrian rank until he was nearly fifty years old. His financial means were so limited that he had to be supported by his students. Nevertheless, Tiberius conferred upon him the ius publice respondendi ex auctoritate principis and, according to Pomponius (D. 1.2.2.48), he was the first to be so honoured. His most important work was a systematic treatise on the ius civile, which is called Libri tres iuris civilis. This work was extensively commented on by Sextus Pomponius, Paul, and Ulpian. These commentaries were entitled Ad Sabinum.2 In the sources, the Sabiniani are also designated as the Cassiani, named after Sabinus’ successor C. Cassius Longinus. This jurist lived in the 1st century ad. A great deal is known about his family background. He was a descendant of one of the murderers of Julius Caesar.3 On his mother’s side, he descended from two renowned jurists; his mother was a daughter of Q. Aelius Tubero and a granddaughter of Servius Sulpicius Rufus. Moreover, his 1 About C. Ateius Capito, see Berger, p. 380; R.S. Rogers, Ateius Capito and Tiberius, in: A. Guarino – L.

Cassius Longinus belonged to the top echelons of the Roman aristocratic elite. After a career as praetor, consul suf- fectus (30 ad), governor of Asia Minor (40–41), and of Syria (45–49), he was exiled under Nero to Sardinia (65). He was recalled by Vespasian, but died on the day he returned. Apart from being a politician, Cassius was also a renowned jurist. His chief work was one on ius civile, which has come down to us in quotations by other authors and partly in excerpts in the Digest from Iavolenus’ Libri ex Cassio.5 Caelius Sabinus succeeded C. Cassius Longinus as head of the Sabinian school. He may already have assumed the leadership of the school when C. Cassius Longinus was in exile in Sardinia. Caelius Sabinus was a consul in 69 ad (Tac., Ann., 1.77) and, according to Pomponius (D. 1.2.2.53), he had much influence in the days of Vespasian (plurimum potuit). Aulus Gellius (4.2.3) stated that he wrote a commentary on the aedilician edict.6 L. Iavolenus Priscus, a jurist who lived in the second half of the 1st century ad, took over the position of Caelius Sabinus as head of the Sabinian school. He was the teacher of Salvius Iulianus.7 He held two legionary commands, one in Dalmatia and the other in Africa. Next, he became legal assessor (iuridi- cus) in Britain and, in 86 ad, he became a consul suffectus. Thereafter, he was governor successively of Germania superior, Syria, and Africa. In Rome, L. Iavolenus Priscus was pontifex. In one of his letters, Pliny the Younger (6.15) states that L. Iavolenus Priscus was a member of the consilium of the emperor Trajan and that he gave legal advice ‘publice’. The latter remark probably refers to Iavolenus having held the ius respondendi.8 His legal responsa were published in his most important work, Epistulae. Furthermore, there are excerpts in the Digest from his Libri ex Cassio and ex Plautio and from an epitome of Labeo’s Posteriores.9 After L. Iavolenus Priscus, Salvius Iulianus led the Sabinian school together with the lesser known Aburnius Valens and Tuscianus. Salvius Iulianus was a very important if not the most important jurist of the 2nd century ad, and 4 Tac., Ann., 16.8. 5 About C. Cassius Longinus, see Berger, p. 382; R.

  • Pliny the Elder and the Problem of Regnum Hereditarium*
    Pliny the Elder and the Problem of Regnum Hereditarium* MELINDA SZEKELY Pliny the Elder writes the following about the king of Taprobane1 in the sixth book of his Natural History: "eligi regem a populo senecta clementiaque, liberos non ha- bentem, et, si postea gignat, abdicari, ne fiat hereditarium regnum."2 This account es- caped the attention of the majority of scholars who studied Pliny in spite of the fact that this sentence raises three interesting and debated questions: the election of the king, deposal of the king and the heredity of the monarchy. The issue con- cerning the account of Taprobane is that Pliny here - unlike other reports on the East - does not only use the works of former Greek and Roman authors, but he also makes a note of the account of the envoys from Ceylon arriving in Rome in the first century A. D. in his work.3 We cannot exclude the possibility that Pliny himself met the envoys though this assumption is not verifiable.4 First let us consider whether the form of rule described by Pliny really existed in Taprobane. We have several sources dealing with India indicating that the idea of that old and gentle king depicted in Pliny's sentence seems to be just the oppo- * The study was supported by OTKA grant No. T13034550. 1 Ancient name of Sri Lanka (until 1972, Ceylon). 2 Plin.

    MICHAEL F. PAVKOVIČ SINGULARES LEGATI LEGIONIS: GUARDS OF A LEGIONARY LEGATE OR A PROVINCIAL GOVERNOR? aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 103 (1994) 223–228 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 223 SINGULARES LEGATI LEGIONIS: GUARDS OF A LEGIONARY LEGATE OR A PROVINCIAL GOVERNOR? In a recent article Dr. N.B.Rankov discusses the famous inscription of Ti.Claudius Maximus from the village of Grammeni near Philippi in Macedonia. Rankov pays particular attention to the rank of singularis legati legionis, interpreted by Prof. M.P.Speidel in his commentary as a guardsman of the legionary commander. Rankov is likewise concerned with the implications that can be drawn from the existence of such guards for the legionary legates.1 The substance of Rankov's argument is that mention of singulares legati legionis does not mean that Claudius Maximus was a bodyguard of the legate in his capacity as legionary commander but rather that the legate was at the time serving as a temporary governor for the province of Moesia.2 Rankov's hypothesis rests on two basic assumptions. The first is that there were extraordinary circumstances which caused the legate to be raised temporarily to the rank of governor. He places this unusual situation in the year A.D. 85 when the Dacians invaded the province and killed the consular governor, Oppius Sabinus.3 Rankov then argues that the governor's death meant heavy casualties amongst his guards, the singulares, which in turn necessitated the formation of a new guard unit for the acting governor. Claudius Maximus was chosen for service in the new guard, but the legionary legate was only an ad hoc governor, retaining his rank, and hence Maximus is styled singularis legati legionis.4 This leads us to Rankov's second premise, which concerns those officers with the right to singulares.

  • Calendar of Roman Events
    Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th.

  • Pliny the Younger and the Role of the Governor in Imperial Communication
    Pliny the Younger and the Role of the Governor in Imperial Communication Examining the pattern of official communication within the province of Bithynia-Pontus during the governorship of Pliny the Younger reveals how that structure served to make the governor a central “gatekeeper” for information being conveyed to the emperor. Most studies of imperial communication have either explored the practicalities of the imperial post (cursus publicus) (Kolb 2001; Riepl 1913, 123-240) or the system of imperial petition and response with its necessary bureaucracy (Honoré 1981; Hauken 1998). Such focuses, however, neglect the role of the governor himself as an agent of communication. The letters of the younger Pliny to Trajan provide a treasure trove of data with which to examine the role of the legatus Augusti in communication. Here a theoretical model is useful in reconstructing the ways in which emperor, governor, other imperial officials, and provincials communicated. Network theory, as explained by Wasserman and Faust (1994, 4-5), can serve this purpose and employs two basic axioms, that (1) “actors and their actions are viewed as interdependent” and (2) “relational ties (linkages) between actors are channels for transfer or ‘flow’ of resources.” Constructing a network model of communications out of Pliny’s correspondence allows us to identify the most direct—and therefore efficient and effective— means of forwarding business to the emperor. Such a model of communications efficiency has several important ramifications. First, an imperial governor would have generally possessed a very direct and efficient line of communication to the emperor because of his senior status and access to the cursus publicus (for which, see Casson 1974, 182-4; Williams 1990, 105-6).

  • Julius Caesar
    Working Paper CEsA CSG 168/2018 ANCIENT ROMAN POLITICS – JULIUS CAESAR Maria SOUSA GALITO Abstract Julius Caesar (JC) survived two civil wars: first, leaded by Cornelius Sulla and Gaius Marius; and second by himself and Pompeius Magnus. Until he was stabbed to death, at a senate session, in the Ides of March of 44 BC. JC has always been loved or hated, since he was alive and throughout History. He was a war hero, as many others. He was a patrician, among many. He was a roman Dictator, but not the only one. So what did he do exactly to get all this attention? Why did he stand out so much from the crowd? What did he represent? JC was a front-runner of his time, not a modern leader of the XXI century; and there are things not accepted today that were considered courageous or even extraordinary achievements back then. This text tries to explain why it’s important to focus on the man; on his life achievements before becoming the most powerful man in Rome; and why he stood out from every other man. Keywords Caesar, Politics, Military, Religion, Assassination. Sumário Júlio César (JC) sobreviveu a duas guerras civis: primeiro, lideradas por Cornélio Sula e Caio Mário; e depois por ele e Pompeius Magnus. Até ser esfaqueado numa sessão do senado nos Idos de Março de 44 AC. JC foi sempre amado ou odiado, quando ainda era vivo e ao longo da História. Ele foi um herói de guerra, como outros. Ele era um patrício, entre muitos. Ele foi um ditador romano, mas não o único.

One can well imagine how a sunny-tempered man of elegant tastes and universal humanity must have won easily the regard of a great number of friends’; so E. T. Merrill wrote of Pliny over a century ago.1 Such sentiments on the ebullient style and sunny personality of Pliny have perdured for decades, even up to the present.2 And why not? A reputation for optimism and even naiveté should not be so easily overcome for one who admits to a weakness for praising his friends too excessively (Ep. 7.28) and writes an entire letter for the sole purpose of demonstrating his unwillingness to say anything negative about someone (8.22.4).
