Lucius Novius Crispinus Martialis Saturninus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lucius Novius Crispinus Martialis Saturninus was a Roman politician living in the 2nd century AD . Individual stations of his career, which he completed in the first half of the 2nd century, are known through two inscriptions. His career is in the two inscriptions as cursus inversus , d. H. in descending order. In other inscriptions his name is given as Lucius Novius Crispinus .

The two inscriptions prove that Crispinus exercised the following civil and military functions (in this order): sevir equitum Romanorum , quattuorvir viarum curandarum , military tribune of Legio VIIII Hispana , quaestor in the province of Macedonia , tribune ( tribunus plebis ), praetor , legatus Augusti iuridicus Asturiae et Gallaeciae , Legatus legionis of the Legio I Italica and governor ( proconsul ) of the province of Gallia Narbonensis . Several inscriptions also prove that he was governor ( Legatus Augusti pro praetore ) of the province of Africa around 147/150 .

Further inscriptions, which are dated to 149/150, prove that Saturninus was already referred to as consul designatus during the governorship in Africa ; he is therefore likely to have started his consulate around 150/151.
