Topic: Julius Saturninus


  
  Julius Saturninus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Julius Saturninus was a Gaul by birth (others have him as a Moor) and was a friend of Emperor Probus.
After Probus had left Syria for the Rhine in 280, unruly soldiers and the people of Alexandria forced a reluctant Saturninus to accept imperial office.
Before Probus could respond to the threat, Saturninus was dead, killed by his own troops.

 Saturninus, pars III   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Saturninus had also set up a new permanent court to hear such cases.
We can also speculate that the purge of Saturninus extended even to the graves of his ancestors, and that Saturninus' own grave was desecrated.
The charge of murdering Saturninus he dismissed as absurd, referring to Hortensius' argument that the murderer had been Scaeva, a slave of Q. Croton who was given his freedom as a reward.

 Gaius Rabirius - LoveToKnow Watches
Nearly forty years after the death of L. Appuleius Saturninus, Titus Labienus (whose uncle had lost his life among the followers of Saturninus on that occasion) was put up by Caesar to accuse Rabirius of having been implicated in the murder.
Caesar's real object was to warn the Senate against interference by force with popular movements, to uphold the sovereignty of the people and the inviolability of the person of the tribunes.
Rabirius was condemned, and the people, to whom the accused had exercised the right of appeal, were on the point of ratifying the decision, when Metellus Celer pulled down the military flag from the Janiculum, which was equivalent to the dissolution of the assembly.

Of all the senators involved in the incident, Rabirius was selected perhaps because he was in the habit of displaying Saturninus' pickled head as a centerpiece at his dinner parties.
At the time Saturninus was murdered Rabirius was however not a Senator but a member of the order of Equites.
There was also to be the other figure in the affair, Julius Caesar, whose growing political influence among the people made him a potential target of an SCU as well.

Saturninus was a 'new man' brought into the senate by Vespasian.

 Saturninus
Saturninus proposed a new agrarian bill, giving land to Marius' veterans of the Cimbri campaign in Cisalpine Gaul, establishing Latin colonies in Sicily, Macedonia and Achaea, and granting citizenship to those Italians who had sent troops to fight in the German campaigns.
Saturninus arranged for the assassination of G. Memmius who was the Senate's candidate for consul.
So to say that Saturninus and Glaucia "seized the Capitoline" as the Senate later charged is probably inaccurate, instead the plebeian followers gathered in the sanctuary of the house of their tribunus plebis that happened to be on the Capitoline.

 Gaius Marius (c. 157-86 B.C.)
Saturninus was tribune for the second time, and Glaucia was praetor; given the poverty of surviving sources, it is extremely difficult to understand either their political aims or Marius' relationship to them.
At the tribunician elections for 99, Saturninus was reelected together with a pretender who, already heavily discredited, claimed to be the son of Tiberius Gracchus.
Through Marius' action Saturninus and Glaucia were captured on the Capitol and imprisoned in the Senate house; then a mob stripped off the roof and stoned them to death.

Apart from the revolt of Saturninus, Probus' main reason for travelling east was a desire to reconquer Mesopotamia.

As the Deified Julius was cutting down a wood at Munda and preparing a place for his camp, coming across a palm tree, he caused it to be spared as an omen of victory.
One man proposed that the name of the month of August be transferred to September, because Augustus was born in the latter, but died in the former; another, that all the period from the day of his birth until his demise be called the Augustan Age, and so entered in the Calendar.
But though a limit was set to the honours paid him, his eulogy was twice delivered: before the temple of the Deified Julius by Tiberius, and from the old rostra by Drusus, son of Tiberius; and he was carried on the shoulders of Senators to the Campus Martius and there cremated.

Caesar was born (by Caesarean section according to an unlikely legend) of Aurelia and Gaius Julius Caesar, a praetor.
Caesar heard the news in Ravenna, and knew that he had to make a choice between prosecution and rebellion; preferring the dignity of war over the humiliation of unfriendly politics, Caesar chose to rebel, quoting his favorite poet Menander, 'the die is cast' (alea iacta est).
The young general, Julius Caesar, was making quite a name for himself in Gaul, which is mostly what we now call France.

In 279 Probus moved to the east to deal with the rebellion of Julius Saturninus the governor of Syria who had declared himself emperor.
The problem was solved before Probus arrived because Saturninus was killed either by his own soldiers or assassins sent by Probus.
Another reason for going east was Probus' ambition to re-conquer Mesopotamia but he abandoned the idea and signed a truce with the Persian king Bahram II.

Julius Saturninus has more to say on this subject:when the proscription was over and Marcus Lepidus, in an address to the House, justified the severe measures that had been taken but encouraged the hope that greater leniency would now be shown, since enough blood had been shed, Augustus spoke in a quite opposite sense.
He therefore decreed that the Senate should meet here whenever declarations of war or claims for triumphs were considered; and that this should be both the starting point for military governors, when escorted to their provinces, and the repository of all triumphal tokens when they returned victorious.
Since official negligence had allowed the Calendar, reformed by Julius Caesar, to fall into confusion, he put it straight again; and while doing so renamed the month of Sextilis 'August' (although he had been born in September), because it was during Sextilis that he had won his first consulship and his most decisive victories.

 Re: SCU
With Saturninus there is a great deal of confusion over what happened.
Saturninus and a praetor entered the Senate under consul Marius's protection, and the Senate murdered him there, then supporters of the Senate attacked Saturninus' followers.
Saturninus' name indicates that he lived on the Capitoline, as patricians could not, and the house of a tribunus plebis was the place where his supporters would gather.
