Marcus Staberius Felix Primillanus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marcus Staberius Felix Primillanus was a highly decorated legal scholar ( iuris peritus ) probably of the later 4th century AD.

According to a pagan tombstone erected by his brothers, he died at the age of 36. The epitaph contains utterances that praise lawyers in various superlatives: as the most excellent ( de primis iustissimus ) and most upright as well as the most educated ( piissimus humanissimusque ) lawyer of the time. The inscription was found in the monastery near the church of Santa Maria in Aracoeli on the Capitol , but has since disappeared. It is preserved through a copy by the humanist Cyriacus of Ancona .
