A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), (search)
he consilium of the consul Ducenus Verus, who was probably a consul suffectus, and is nowhere named except in Dig. 31. s. 29. The numerous attempts of learned men to identify Ducenus with recorded consuls are without ground, and most of their conjectures refer to too late a period, unless Celsus the father attained to an unusual age. Thus Wieling (Jurisprudentia Restituta, p. 351) and Guil. Grotius (De Vitis Jurisp. 2.2.2) make Ducenus the same as L. Cejonius Commodus Verus, who was consul A. D. 106. Others are for L. Annius Verus, consul A. D. 121. Ant. Augustinus (De Nominibus Propriis Pandectarum, 100.3, p. 259, n. [g.]) seems to think he might have been the Juventius Verus, who was consul for the third time A. D. 134. Heineccins (Hist. Jur 104.241, n.) is for Decennius Geminus who was consul suffectus A. D. 57, and whose cognomen might have been Verus. It was in the council of Ducenus Verus that the opinion of Celsus the father was given upon an important point, and was adopted a

following year he succeeded Cerealis as governor of Britain, where he distinguished himself by the conquest of the Silures, and maintained the Roman power unbroken until superseded by Agricola in A. D. 78. In the third consulship of Nerva (A. D. 97) Frontinus was nominated curator aquarum, an appointment never conferred, as he himself informs us, except upon the leading men of the state (de Aq. 1; comp. 102); he also enjoyed the high dignity of augur, and his death must have happened about A. D. 106, since his seat in the college was bestowed upon the younger Pliny soon after that period. From an epigram in Martial we might conclude that he was twice elevated to the consulship; but since his name does not appear in the Fasti, we are unable to determine the dates, although, as stated above, we may infer that this honour was bestowed upon him, for the first time at least, before his journey to Britain, since the generals despatched to command that province were generally consulars.

A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Marcia'na (search)
Marcia'na the sister of Trajan, who, if we may believe the panegyric of Pliny (Paneg. 84), was a woman of extraordinary merits and virtue. She was the mother of Matidia, who was the mother of Sabina, the wife of the emperor Hadrian [MATIDIA], but we do not know the name of her husband. We learn from Pliny that she received from the senate the title of Augusta, which we also find upon coins and inscriptions; and after her death she was enrolled among the gods, and is therefore called Diva on coins and inscriptions. The year of her death is uncertain; but it appears from one inscription that she was alive in A. D. 106, and from another that she had ceased to live in A. D. 115. It was in honour of her that Trajan gave the name of Marcianopolis to a city in Lower Moesia, on the Euxine. (Eckhel, vol. vi. p. 467, &c.)

he centre of which was placed the column of Trajan, the height of which marked the height of the earth which had been removed. The inscription on the column fixes the date at the year A. D. 11 2, the sixth consulship of Trajan. Apollodorus was Trajan's architect. Trajan constructed the port of Ancona, on the ancient mole of which there still stands a triumphal arch, dedicated to Trajan, his wife, and his sister. The inscription on the bridge of Alcantara over the Tagus belonged to the year A. D. 106, but though the inscription was in honour of Trajan, it states that the bridge was made at the common expense of the several towns which are there mentioned. Under the reign of Trajan lived Sextus Julius Frontinus, C. Cornelius Tacitus, the Younger Plinius, and various others of less note. Plutarch, Suetonius, Epictetus, survived Trajan. The jurists Juventius Celsus, and Neratius Priscus, were living under Trajan. The authorities for part of the reign of Trajan are very defective. Till
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Tuti'lius (search)
Tuti'lius a rhetorician, whose daughter Quintilian married. (Plin. Ep. 6.32; Quint. Inst. 3.1.21, where Tutilius should be read instead of Rutilius.) [QUINTILIANUS, p. 635a.] L. TU'TIUS CEREA'LIS, consul under Trajan A. D. 106 with L. Ceionius Commodus Verus (Fasti). Pliny speaks of Tutius Cerealis a consularis in one of his letters (Ep. 2.11); but as the letter was written in A. D. 99, it must refer to some other person of the same name, unless we suppose that the consul of the year 106 had held the same dignity previously.
