A Solidus of Valentinian II from Scotch Street, Carlisle

The Northern Counties to AD 1000
The Fall of Sejanus
Numeri Barcariorum
RIB 601 is a sandstone altar which was discovered in 1794 in the churchyard at Halton-on-Lune, three miles upstream of Lancaster. The stone, which is broken on its right-hand side, records a dedication made to Mars by a certain Sabinus and the men of a Numerus Barcariorum. It has been generally assumed that this is the same unit as the Numerus Barcariorum Tigrisiensium placed in the Notitia Dignitatum at ARBEIA (South Shields); this reference in …

Irregular Legionary Commands
Tacitus writes that, by insisting that legionary legates who had not so far held the praetorship should immediately proceed to that office, Asinius Gallus ‘altius penetrare et arcana imperii temptari’. In C.Q. N.S. xvi (1966), 327, I suggested that this demand of Gallus’ was probably probing dangerously deeply into and perhaps threatening to wreck the carefully worked-out imperial promotions system, the working of which has been examined by Birle…
Three Notes on Tacitus Annales 1 and 2
The Starting-Dates of Tacitus' Historical Works
In recent years, the starting-dates of both the Historiae and the Annales of Tacitus have been criticized. In the case of the Historiae , Hainsworth has claimed that Tacitus chose to start his narrative with the events of A.D. 69, because for various reasons the events of A.D. 68 were an embarrassment to him. Syme has suggested, in the case of the Annales , that by starting with the accession of Tiberius, Tacitus has barred himself from a proper …
The Debate On Augustus (Tacitus, Annals I 9-10)
Tacitus And Verginius Rufus
In his historical writings, Cluvius Rufus evidently found cause to criticize Verginius Rufus for his conduct on a particular occasion ‘Scis, Vergini, quae historiae fides debeatur; proinde, si quid in historiis meis legis aliter ac velles, rogo igmoscas’. From his reply, it is clear that Verginius automatically understood Cluvius to be referring to an event to which he himself (Verginius) attached great significance: ‘Tune ignoras, Cluvi, ideo me…
Elections Under Tiberius
The first point that Tacitus makes is the confusion that surrounded these elections. Tiberius' policy was in no way as well denned here as it apparently was in the case of the praetorship elections: De comitiis consularibus, quae turn primum illo principe ac deinceps fuere, vix quicquam firmare ausim: adeo diversa non modo apud auctores, sed in ipsius orationibus reperiuntur
Three Problems in Tacitus' Annals. I
Does Tacitus, in his relation of Tiberius' accession, really prejudice our interpretation of the rest of the reign? Further, is the disposal of Agrippa Postumus contrived to serve as an ominous opening for the reign ? x) It is true that in chapter 5, where the death of Augustus and Tiberius' accession are narrated, there is an uncomfortable feeling of intrigue. This is because of the popular rumour concerning Augustus* supposed reconciliation wit…
