    Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire (usually abbreviated as PLRE) is a set of three volumes that describes prominent individuals who lived from 260 AD to 641 AD, whose careers, writings and relations had influence over the outcome of recognizable historical events. These volumes are valuable sources of biographical information, and include citations from literature, inscriptions, and other written sources.

  • Rome and the Provincial Cities

    A H M Jones, Andrew JonesARTICLETijdschrift voor Rechtsgeschiedenis…1971

    ROME AND THE PROVINCIAL CITIES by A. H. M. JONES* During her conquest of Italy Rome generally forced her con- quered enemies to make an unconditional surrender (deditio), whereby they gave up themselves, their city, their land, their water, the temples of their gods, their chattels, in short all things human and divine1). They thereby became dediticii, free persons without rights or property, and their land became public land of the Roman people.…

  • The Senatorial Order

    A H M JonesCHAPTERHistory of Rome Through the Fifth…1970

    These reflections were suggested to Tacitus by a proposal, rejected by Tiberius, to enforce the sumptuary laws of Augustus (see No. 10). Tacitus rightly ascribes the more sober way of life followed by senators in his own day to the gradual change in the membership of the senate by the admission of new members from Italy (the municipalities and colonies) and the provinces. Though membership of the senate was de facto hereditary, the older families…

  • The Foundation of the Principate

    A H M JonesCHAPTERHistory of Rome Through the Fifth…1970

    This long obituary notice was composed by Augustus himself and kept up to date to the year of his death (§4). He ordered it to be engraved on two bronze plaques outside his mausoleum. These have perished, but copies of the Latin original or of the official Greek translation were engraved on temples at Ancyra, Apollonia, and Antioch of Pisidia, and from these it is possible to reconstitute the entire text.

  • The Army

    A H M JonesCHAPTERHistory of Rome Through the Fifth…1970

    Tacitus in this passage gives a useful picture of the distribution of the legions and other forces in the reign of Tiberius. It will be seen that most of the army was stationed on the frontiers—the Rhine, the Danube, and the East. This tendency was accentuated as time went on. The three legions in Spain were reduced to one, Africa normally had one only, and the garrison of Egypt, originally three (see No. 78), had become one by the second century…

  • Economic Affairs

    A H M JonesCHAPTERHistory of Rome Through the Fifth…1970

    This is part of a very long inscription found at Veleia, recording the financial arrangements made by Trajan for the maintenance of poor children in Italy. This was a policy extensively followed by the emperors of the second century and was probably due not only to philanthropy but to a desire to maintain a shrinking population, and in particular to keep up the supply of recruits for the army. A similar private foundation by Pliny for his native …

  • The Equestrian Order

    A H M JonesCHAPTERHistory of Rome Through the Fifth…1970

    The term eques Romanus seems to have been used in two senses. On the one hand, any Roman citizen of free birth for three generations who possessed four hundred thousand sesterces was allowed to use the title, but from these were chosen the six "squadrons"—purely ornamental formations—of equites equo publico. These were commanded by the seviri equitum (see Nos. 30, 32), young men destined for the senate, who until they obtained the quaestorship an…

  • The Emperors

    A H M JonesCHAPTERHistory of Rome Through the Fifth…1970

    Since the office of emperor was an amalgam of powers voted to an individual for life, it ceased to exist when that individual died. A prudent emperor therefore made provision for the succession by having the chief powers, the proconsular imperium and the tribunician potestas, voted to a junior colleague during his own lifetime. When Augustus died, Tiberius was already in possession of these powers and lacked only the name of Augustus, the office …

    When the last king, Tarquinius Superbus, was expelled, it was decided to replace the king, who held office alone for life, with two annual consuls. They held the full royal power, but were limited in their exercise of it first by their annual tenure, after which they could be held to account for any misuse of their power, and secondly by their collegial tenure of power; each could ban any action of the other. The annual tenure and collegiality of…
