  Aemilianus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aemilianus was born into an obscure family from the Roman province of Africa.
Aemilianus was sent to replace him, serving as governor for both Moesia and Pannonia.
Aemilianus was not impressed and continued his march, trusting in the value of his veteran legions.

 Roman Emperors - DIR Aemilius Aemilianus
Aemilianus, commander of the Pannonian legions, did his best to encourage his troops, who did not dare resist the successful barbarians, and reminded them of their Roman honor.
Indeed, Aemilianus could never have contemplated investing Rome, and, given what had just transpired in Moesia, it seems doubtful that he would have chosen to leave that province denuded of defenders or that his troops would have acquiesced in such a move.
The epigraphic and numismatic evidence for Aemilianus' reign is unremarkable.

 T. Gracchus and the Amicitas of Aemilianus
When Scipio Aemilianus Africanus served as consul in 146 and besieged Carthage in the final Punic War, a junior officer under his command was his 18 year old nephew, the younger Tiberius Gracchus.
Aemilianus Scipio Africanus served as consul in 146, censor in 142, and again as consul in 134.
As a member of the amicitas of Aemilianus he would naturally have sought their advice on whether to run for the office of tribunus plebis and their advice on any legislation he might propose.

The result was that Aemilianus, perceiving that you, Maximus, not to speak of others, were strongly moved by what had occurred, and that his words had created a serious scandal, began to be alarmed and to seek for some safe refuge from the consequences of his rashness.
Knowing this, Aemilianus' advocates, only a short time ago, poured forth with all their usual loquacity a flood of drivelling accusations, many of which were specially invented for the purpose of flening my character, while the remainder were such general charges as the uninstructed are in the habit of levelling at philosophers.
But as for you, Aemilianus, and ignorant boors of your kidney, in your case the fortune makes the man. You are like barren and blasted trees that produce no fruit, but are valued only for the timber that their trunks contain.

 The Theatrics of Anger in Apuleius's Apologia
For in contrast to Aemilianus, Apuleius claims for himself the life of letters and the title of 'philosopher'--so much so that he imagines his own trial to be at the same time the defense of philosopy as a whole (para.
And it was this marriage that was the cause for Aemilianus of all this excessive torment and all this distress; hence arose all the frenzied madness and insanity of this trivial accusation.
It is precisely by mismanaging the dramatic conventions that Aemilianus exposes the fiction of his performance, and as the imitative aspect of his anger becomes patent by contrast to its rhetorical context, Aemilianus is open to ridicule, the ultimate mark of the failed performance.

 Apuleius, Defense, Part Five
You speak nonsense, Aemilianus, and nothing of what you say is even likely, unless Crassus happened not to return to his room, but as is his custom proceded straight to the hearth.
I wished Aemilianus to suffer a loss and Crassus to be prostituted by the disgrace of his testimony.
May he always heap up before your eyes unavoidable apparitions of the dead, shades, lemures, ghosts, wandering spirits: all the things that you encounter in the night, all the horrors of the tomb, all the terrors of the grave, from which, by your age (and most deservedly so), you are not far away.

Capit.) Some modern writers call him Mamilianus instead of Aemilianus, for transcribers are not agreed as to the correct reading of the Capitoline marbles, which are broken into three fragments in the place where his name is mentioned under the year of his son's consul­ship.
Of his father nothing is known, but it may be inferred with much probability that M. Drusus Aemilianus belonged to the Aemilia gens, and was adopted by some M. Livius Drusus.
It is possible, however, that M. Livius Drusus, the grandfather, had by different wives two sons named Marcus, and that one of them was the son of Aemilia, and was called, from his mother, Aemi­lianus.

Apuleius states that had Sicinius Aemilianus found any real charges, the latter never would have been so stupid as to bring these charges against Apuleius seeing as how Aemilianus had been mixed up in a case where he had charged that his own uncle's will was a forgery.
Apuleius states that Aemilianus ought not to be discussing another's poverty at all considering the inheritance left to him by his father.
Sicinius Aemilianus, Pudentilla's brother-in-law, whose family inheritance as passed to his brother's sons was under the control of Pudentilla and whose interests in the original dowry given to his family by Pudentilla clearly has legal basis for disputing Pudentilla's present dowry and will.

 CAMWS 2003: John A. Stevens
Cicero's depiction of Aemilianus' psychic progress as a physcial entry into the Temple of Jupiter also corresponds to his larger purposes: to situate the morality tale in familiar Roman imagery.
When Aemilianus first describes the position of Africanus, as he appears to him, he says that he was pointing out Carthage to him, de excelso et pleno stellarum, illustri et claro quodam loco (11).
He must ascend to the position of his grandfather to see "the path of the fates", that is, his own future, which Africanus is viewing (eius temporis ancipitem video quasi fatorum viam, 12, corresponding in Rome to a view of the sacra via, perhaps).

But I admit feeling surprise that Aemilianus and Rufinus should be annoyed at the lady's decision, when those who were actually suitors for her hand acquiesce in her preference for myself.

The courtesy of Aemilianus, a habit with him, probably a function of the gentleness of his upbringing, in no way affected the totality of the bondage in which his girls were kept, whereas one need not thank a slave, one may, of course, if one wishes, thank them.
From the point of view of the girl, since she knows she is in a collar, being treated with courtesy can sometimes be more frightening than being treated with rudeness or cruelty, or, as is more often the case, with gentle, intimate, absolutely unqualified authority.
Being a slave she knows that a master's invitation to remove a garment is equivalent to a cateGorical command to strip.
