Marcus Calpurnius Seneca

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The military diploma of 134 AD

Marcus Calpurnius Seneca or Marcus Calpurnius Seneca Fabius Turpio Sentinatianus (full name form Marcus Calpurnius Marci filius Galeria Seneca Fabius Turpio Sentinatianus ) was a member of the Roman knighthood ( Eques ) living in the 2nd century AD .

His full name and tribes are known through two inscriptions found in the province of Baetica ; he was registered in the Tribus Galeria . Seneca probably came from what is now Villalba del Alcor . The inscriptions also indicate that he was first Primus Pilus in the Legio I Adiutrix and then procurator of the fiscal district of Lusitania et Vettonia .

A military diploma proves that Seneca was prefect of the Roman fleet stationed in Ravenna ( classis praetoria Ravennas ); he presumably held this office from 127/129 to 132. Another diploma proves that he was Prefect of either the Ravenna fleet or the Misenum fleet . A third diploma, dated September 15, 134, proves that he was 134 prefect of the fleet stationed in Misenum ( classis praetoria Misenensis ).
