| 释义 |
For the Christian traveller and historian, see Sextus Julius Africanus. For others with this name, see Africanus. Julius Africanus was a celebrated orator in the reign of Nero,[1] and seems to have been the son of the Julius Africanus, of the Gallic state of the Santoni, who was condemned by Tiberius in 32 AD.[2] Quintilian, who had heard Julius Africanus, spoke of him and Domitius Afer as the best orators of their time. The eloquence of Africanus was chiefly characterized by vehemence and energy.[3][4] Pliny the Younger mentions a grandson of this Julius Africanus, who was also an advocate and was opposed to him upon one occasion.[5] He was consul suffectus in 108 AD.{{citation needed|date=January 2017}} There is a persistent belief in some quarters that Africanus was actually an African. However, being the son of a Gallic chief he was a member of a Celtic tribe.{{citation needed|date=September 2012}} This confusion probably arises from an incorrect belief that the Roman cognomen Africanus means from Africa (i.e. born in Africa) rather than the correct meaning of famous relation to Africa.{{citation needed|date=September 2012}} The name Africanus originated with Scipio Africanus, who defeated Carthage (in North Africa) during the Second Punic War.{{citation needed|date=September 2012}} References1. ^{{Citation | last = Smith | first = William | author-link = William Smith (lexicographer) | contribution = Africanus, Julius | editor-last = Smith | editor-first = William | title = Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology | volume = 1 | pages = 56 | publisher = | place = Boston | year = 1870 | contribution-url = http://www.ancientlibrary.com/smith-bio/0065.html }} {{SmithDGRBM}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Julius Africanus}}{{AncientRome-bio-stub}}2. ^Tacitus, Annales vi. 7 3. ^Quintilian, x. 1. § 118, xii. 10. § 11, comp. viii. 5. § 15 4. ^Dial. de Orat. 15 5. ^Pliny the Younger, Epistulae vii. 6 4 : Ancient Roman rhetoricians|Imperial Roman consuls|1st-century Romans|Julii |
