词条 | Aulus Platorius Nepos |
释义 |
LifeIt is unclear where he was born and raised, but because he was explicitly described as a friend of the emperor Hadrian before his accession, and both share the same tribe (Sergia), Birley states that it is "not improbable" that Nepos came from Southern Spain; he notes that the nomen Platorius is attested in Baetica.[3] In the final years of the 1st century Nepos served as tribune of Legio XXII Primigenia at Mainz under the eye of the governor of Germania Superior, who brought him to the attention of Trajan, who, in turn, directly supported his candidacy for senatorial offices.[2] Nepos likely became praetor in 111, then curator of the three roads in Etruria in 112-3 before becoming legate of Legio I Adiutrix during Trajan's Parthian campaigns.[4] Upon Hadrian assuming the imperial throne, Nepos was made governor of Thracia, then suffect consul in the spring of 119. Shortly afterwards he was made governor of Germania Inferior, and while governor received Hadrian during his tour in 121. He accompanied Hadrian to Britain in 122, when he was made governor of that province, and oversaw the construction of Hadrian's Wall. He probably brought Legio VI Victrix with him from the continent to assist in the construction and perhaps to replace Legio IX Hispana which had left around 108.[5] His tenure as governor of Roman Britain is securely dated by two military diplomas, one dated to 17 July 122, and the other to 15 September 124.[3] Nepos sought no further office after his time in Britain. Bricks bearing his name, and dated to 134, show he owned a brickworks near Rome. At some point Nepos held the augurate.[6] The Historia Augusta twice records how Hadrian came to dislike his old friend, which Birley attempts to explain, for the Historia is considered an unreliable source.[7] Birley suggests that A. Platorius Nepos Calpurnianus, curator of the Tiber in 161, was his son.[8] References1. ^Werner Eck and Andreas Pangerl, "Neue Diplome mit den Namen von Konsuln und Statthaltern," Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik, 187 (2013), p. 282 {{s-start}}{{s-off}}{{s-bef|before=Hadrian III,2. ^1 Birley, The Fasti of Roman Britain, (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1981) p. 102 3. ^1 Birley, Fasti, p. 101 4. ^Birley, Fasti, p. 103 5. ^Birley, Fasti, pp. 103f 6. ^Birley, Fasti, p. 104 7. ^Birley, Fasti, pp. 104f 8. ^Birley, Fasti, p. 105 and Publius Dasumius Rusticus|as=ordinary consuls}}{{s-ttl|title=Suffect consul of the Roman Empire|years= AD 119|regent1=Hadrian III}}{{s-aft|after=Marcus Paccius Silvanus Quintus Coredius Gallus Gargilius Antiquus, and Quintus Vibius Gallus|as=suffect consuls}}{{s-bef|before=Quintus Pompeius Falco}}{{s-ttl|title=Roman governors of Britain|years=c.122-c.124}}{{s-aft|after=possibly Trebius Germanus}}{{s-end}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Platorius Nepos, Aulus}} 8 : 1st-century Romans|2nd-century Romans|Roman governors of Thracia|Suffect consuls of Imperial Rome|Roman governors of Britain|Roman governors of Germania Inferior|Augurs of the Roman Empire|Platorii |
