Ronald
Syme speculates that the Sex. Vettulenus Cerialis memorialized with his wife Lusia Galla in an inscription recovered at Venafro was Cerialis' father and mother; if that is the case, his father served as a soldier, and his career was capped as" primus pilus" of Legio XI.
Following his tenure as suffect consul, Cerealis was appointed governor of the imperial province of Moesia from the year 81 to 84.
The sortition allotted him the prestigious public province of Asia for 87/88.
During his office, he was confronted with an uprising led by a false Nero at the time of Domitian's Dacian War, but Cerealis failed to suppress the pretender.
It is not known if Civica was involved in a conspiracy against the emperor Domitian or if his failure was due to his reluctance to act.
In either case, Cerealis was arrested and executed on Domitian's orders.
Cerealis is known to have an older brother, Sextus Vettulenus Cerialis, suffect consul in either AD 72 or 73.
It is not known if Cerealis was married, or, if he was, whether he had any children.
Marcus Vettulenus Civica Barbarus
Marcus Vettulenus Civica Barbarus was a Roman senator of the second century.
A member of the Patrician class, he held the office of" consul ordinarius" in 157 with another patrician, Marcus Metilius Aquillius Regulus, as his colleague.
Barbarus was also a member of the" sodales Antoniniani", a religious fraternity which attended to the cult of the emperor Antoninus Pius.
The Vettuleni were an Italian family, likely from Sabinum.
Barbarus himself was the half- brother of Lucius Aelius, the biological father of the Emperor Lucius Verus; they shared the same mother, Ignota Plautia.
While the identity of Lucius Aelius' father is certain( Lucius Ceionius Commodus, the" consul ordinarius" of 106), the authorities differ on the identity of Barbarus' father.
Ronald
Syme notes that a Greek inscription from Argos that attests to his filiation as" Sex. f.", and his tribe as" Quirna", but little more is known of his father.
Géza
Alföldy asserts he was the son of Sextus Vettulenus Civica Pompeianus, the" consul ordinarius" of 136, while Anthony Birley states Civica Pompeius was another half- brother of Barbarus and their shared father was Sextus Vettulenus Civica Cerialis, the" consul ordinarius" of 106.

Syme speculates that the Sex. Vettulenus Cerialis memorialized with his wife Lusia Galla in an inscription recovered at Venafro was Cerialis' father and mother; if that is the case, his father served as a soldier, and his career was capped as" primus pilus" of Legio XI.
Edward Dabrowa lists Cerialis" amongst the Sabine people who, due to Vespasian, gained high ranks and were admitted to the Roman political elite."
Based on the most commonly accepted interpretation of an acephalous inscription from Carthage, Nero conferred many honors on him.
However, his first attested office was as legate or commander of Legio V Macedonica around the year 67.
He held this commission through the First Jewish – Roman War to the end of the siege of Jerusalem in 70.
Cerialis impressed Vespasian with his courage and his success in numerous military actions.
After the fall of Jerusalem, Cerialis was appointed governor of Judea and legate of Legio X Fretensis.
He held both offices until at least AD 71; Cerialis is named in a military diploma dated 28 April 75 and in an inscription dated 7 February 78.
Subsequent offices he held include governor of Moesia from 74 to least as late as 78, and proconsul of Africa in 83- 84.
Cerialis had at least one brother, Gaius Vettulenus Civica Cerealis, suffect consul in either 72 or 73 according to Syme, or between 73 and 76, according to Gallivan.
Sextus Vettulenus Civica Cerialis
Sextus Vettulenus Civica Cerialis was a Roman senator of the early second century.
He was ordinary consul in AD 106 as the colleague of Lucius Ceionius Commodus.
Nothing further is known of his career.
Cerialis is considered the son of Sextus Vettulenus Cerialis, general and suffect consul in either 72 or 73.
The younger Cerialis was married twice.
By his first wife, whose name is not known, he had at least one son, Sextus Vettulenus Civica Pompeianus, consul in 136.
By his second wife, whose name has been surmised as Ignota Plautia, Cerialis had another son, Marcus Vettulenus Civica Barbarus, consul in 157.
Papias (admiral)
Papias was a Roman admiral in the 1st century BC.
During the Roman civil wars he participated in Sicilian revolt under the command of Sextus Pompeius.
Appian mentions Papias several times in his work" The Civil WarsEmphylia", Ἐμφύλια), when he describes the fight over Sicily.
In the summer of 36 BC Papias attacked the fleet of Lepidus transporting his invasion army from Africa to Lilybaeum( Marsala) in the southwest of Sicily.
Though he managed to inflict heavy losses on the fleet of Lepidus, he ultimately failed to prevent his army from landing.
Later on August 11 of the same year he led the fleet of Sextus Pompeius into the battle of Mylae against Agrippa.
During course of the battle Papias' own ship was sunk, but he managed to swim to another ship of his fleet being nearby and continued the battle.
However Pompeius, who observed the battle from the shore, ordered a withdrawal after he recognized that the battle seemed to tilt in Agrippa's favour and that he had reinforcements arriving as well.
Papias managed an orderly retreat of the fleet into the shoals, where the larger and heavier ships of Agrippa's fleet did n't dare to follow them.
Later Papias' ships slipped away and sailed eastward.
Ignota Plautia
Ignota Plautia was a Roman woman of senatorial rank whom Classical scholars believe lived in the late first century and early second century AD, but about whom no direct evidence of her existence has yet been found.
Ronald Syme comments about her situation, "Plautia exemplifies a common phenomenon in the history of Imperial Rome; a fragment of knowledge rescued from the waters of oblivion, but a figure of consequence in the social and political history of the time."
Edmund Groag first suggested her existence to explain otherwise baffling and contradictory statements about the familial relationships of senators related to the Antonine dynasty, taking her name from Avidia Plautia, daughter of Gaius Avidius Nigrinus, suffect consul in 110.
Syme later identified more of her husbands and children, wryly commenting that while "it would be refreshing to discover aspects of social life not revealed in the correspondence of Pliny (divorce has no place in his decorous pages)
", he admits the alternative to accepting Plautia's existence
was to assume "Hadrian, freshly married to Vibia Sabina, chose to seduce the wife of Ceionius Commodus.
" More recently, Anthony Birley accepted her existence by placing her in his family tree of the relatives of Lucius Aelius Caesar, where she appears as the daughter of Lucius Aelius Lamia Plautius Aelianus, suffect consul in 80.
Plautia is believed to have married three different men, by whom she had at least four children:
Richard Popkin
Richard Henry Popkin (December 27, 1923 – April 14, 2005) was an academic philosopher who specialized in the history of enlightenment philosophy and early modern anti-dogmatism.
His 1960 work "The History of Scepticism from Erasmus to Descartes" introduced one previously unrecognized influence on Western thought in the seventeenth century, the Pyrrhonian Scepticism of Sextus Empiricus.
Popkin also was an internationally acclaimed scholar on Christian millenarianism and Jewish messianism.
Sextus of Chaeronea
Sextus of Chaeronea( fl. c. 160 AD) was a philosopher, a nephew or grandson of Plutarch, and one of the teachers of the emperor Marcus Aurelius.
The Suda identifies Sextus of Chaeronea as being the same person as Sextus Empiricus, in which case Sextus would be a Pyrrhonist.
This is not generally considered to be correct, although it is plausible.
Some historians infer that due to his relationship with Plutarch that Sextus was a Platonist.
Others infer that Sextus as a Stoic due to an ambiguous mention of Sextus as one of the teachers of Marcus Aurelius in the" Historia Augusta."
The Suda also says that Sextus of Chaeronea was so high in the favour of Marcus Aurelius that he sat in judgement with him.
Two works are mentioned:" Ethics", and" Inquiries", but whether they were by Sextus of Chaeronea or Sextus Empiricus is unknown.
Philostratus describes how even when Marcus was an old man, in the latter part of his reign, he received instruction from Sextus, who was teaching in Rome: The Emperor Marcus was an eager disciple of Sextus the Boeotian philosopher, being often in his company and frequenting his house.
Lucius, who had just come to Rome, asked the Emperor, whom he met on his way, where he was going to and on what errand, and Marcus answered," it is good even for an old man to learn; I am now on my way to Sextus the philosopher to learn what I do not yet know."
And Lucius, raising his hand to heaven, said," O Zeus, the king of the Romans in his old age takes up his tablets and goes to school"
The date of this encounter is most likely 177- 8, before Marcus' last departure for war.
Marcus is also said to have" show[ n] off" his philosophy before Sextus.
In his" Meditations", Marcus speaks of Sextus in glowing terms, and we discover the type of education he received from Sextus: Apuleius pays tribute to Sextus and Plutarch at the beginning of" The Golden Ass".
He is possibly the Sextus listed along with Plutarch, Agathobulus and Oenomaus in the" Chronicle" of Jerome as flourishing in the 3rd year of Hadrian's reign( 119 AD).
Sextus Cocceius Vibianus
Sextus Cocceius Vibianus was a Roman Senator in 204.
He was the son of Sextus Cocceius Severianus and Caesonia.
He was also the grandson of Sextus Cocceius Severianus, Proconsul of Africa.
He married and had a daughter, who married Quintus Anicius Faustus Paulinus( born c. 180), Legate of Moesia Inferior between 229 and 230 or c. 230 to 232, and had issue.
