pens in January, A. D. 94, the ninth also refers to the same epoch, but may, as Clinton supposes, have been written in A. D. 95. The whole of these were composed at Rome, except the third, which was written during a tour in Gallia Togata. The tenth book was published twice: the first edition was given hastily to the world; the second, that which we now read (10.2), celebrates the arrival of Trajan at Rome, after his accession to the throne (10.6, 7, 34, 72). Now, since this event took place A. D. 99, and since the twenty-fourth epigram of this book was written in honour of the author's fifty-seventh birthday, we are thus supplied with the data requisite for fixing the epoch of his birth; and since at the close of the book (10.104) he had been thirty-four years at Rome, we can thence calculate the time when he left Spain. The eleventh book seems to have been published at Rome, early in A. D. 100, and at the close of the year he returned to Bilbilis. After keeping silence for three years

Sene'cio, C. So'sius consul suffectus, A. D. 98, and consul A. D. 99, 102, 107, is probably the same person who was a friend of the younger Pliny (Plin. Ep. 1.13), and whom Plutarch addresses in several of his lives. (Thescus, 1, Demosth. 1, Brut. 1.

f Domitian (Agricola, 100.45). In the reign of Nerva. A.D. 97. Tacitus was appointed consul suffectus, in the place of T. Virginius Rufus, who had died in that year. Tacitus pronounced the funeral oration of Rufus, " and it was," says Plinius, " the completion of the felicity of Rufus to have his panegyric pronounced by so eloquent a man." (Plin. Ep. 2.1.) Tacitus had attained oratorical distinction when Plinius was commencing his career. He and Tacitus were appointed in the reign of Nerva (A. D. 99) to conduct the prosecution of Marius, proconsul of Africa, who had grossly misconducted himself in his province. Salvius Liberalis, a man of great acuteness and eloquence, was one of the advocates of Marius. Tacitus made a most eloquent and dignified reply to Liberalis. Tacitus and Plinius were most intimate friends. In the collection of the letters of Plinius, there are eleven letters addressed to Tacitus. In a letter to his friend Maximus (9.23), Plinius shows that he considered his fr

Nerva died in January A. D. 98, and was succeeded by Trajan, who was then at Cologne. He did not come to Rome for some months, being employed in settling the frontiers on the Rhine and the Danube. It was apparently about this time that the Chamavi and Angrivarii drove the Bructeri from their lands on the Rhine, and destroyed the greater part of them, the Romans being witnesses of the bloody combat, and seeing with indifference, or even pleasure, the mutual slaughter of their enemies. In A. D. 99 Trajan did not take the consulship, though it was usual for an emperor to hold this office in the year which followed his elevation. One of the consuls of this year was C. Sosius Senecio, whom Plutarch addresses in the beginning of his life of Romulus, and in several of his moral essays. Trajan entered Rome on foot, amidst the rejoicings of the Romans, accompanied by his wife Pompeia Plotina. This lady is highly commended by Plinius the younger for her modest virtues, and her affection to M
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.
