Lucius Minicius Natalis Quadronius Verus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A military diploma from AD 139 ( CIL 16, 175 )

Lucius Minicius Natalis Quadronius Verus (* beginning of February approx. 96 in Barcino ) was a Roman senator and military officer of the 2nd century AD. His name is given as Lucius Minicius Natalis in the military diplomas .

Natalis came from Barcino (today's Barcelona ) in the province of Tarraconensis . His father was Lucius Minicius Natalis , suffect consul in 106. Natalis began his career ( cursus honorum ) as a mint master . He then served in three legions ( Legio I Adiutrix in Dacia approx. 115, Legio XI Claudia in the province of Moesia ( Moesia ) approx. 115 and Legio XIIII Gemina in Carnuntum approx. 116/117, probably at the time when his father was governor there war) as a military tribune . As a candidate of the Emperor Hadrian Natalis held then the Bursary (ca. 121/122). Since Hadrian did not need his quaestors during his first big trip, which he began in the summer of 121, Natalis was able to accompany his father as a legate to the province of Africa , where the Carthaginian diocese was entrusted to him. He then received the people's tribunate (approx. 125/126) as the emperor's candidate . Natalis later served as praetor (127 or 128). In 129, Natalis won the chariot race in Olympia . Approx. 130/131 he took over the command of the Legio VI Victrix in Britain as a legate . After his return he became praefectus alimentorum and at the same time curator of the Via Flaminia .

Through military diplomas, e.g. T. are dated July 18 and August 22, 139, it is documented that Natalis 139 was together with Lucius Claudius Proculus Cornelianus suffect consul; the two presumably held this office from July 1st to August 31st. The suffect consulate was the high point of his career. He then took over the office of administrator of public works and religious institutions in Rome ( curator operum publicorum et aedium sacrorum ) and was bequeathed to the province of Moesia inferior (Lower Moesia ) between 140 and 144 . The end of his career was the proconsulate in the province of Africa (around 154). After his death he bequeathed a fortune of 100,000 sesterces to the colonists of Barcino, the proceeds of which were to be paid out to the officials every year.
