  Ancient Rome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Roman Republic was established around 509 BC, according to later writers such as Livy, when the king was driven out, and a system based on annually elected magistrates was established in its place.
The transference of the anthropomorphic qualities to Roman Gods, and the prevalence of Greek philosophy among well-educated Romans, brought about an increasing neglect of the old rites, and in the 1st century BC the religious importance of the old priestly offices declined rapidly, though their civic importance and political influence remained.
Roman religion in the empire tended more and more to center on the imperial house, and several emperors were deified after their deaths.

 Roman naming convention - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
In the Roman naming convention used in ancient Rome, male names typically contain three proper nouns which are classified as praenomen (or given name), nomen gentile (or Gens name) and cognomen.
During the Roman Republic and Empire, the cognomen is inherited from father to son, serving to distinguish a family within a Gens.
When a Roman man was adopted into another family (a common event due to the small number of children most families had), his adopted name would become the adopted father's full name, plus his own family name in a declined form.

Roman Names.—Towards the end of the republic free-born Romans were distinguished by three names and two (or even four) secondary indications.
Thus a Roman is called Coins; Julius is his gentile name (of the Julian clan); Caesar is a kind of hereditary nickname A Greek is Thucydides (the name usually derived from the grandfather), the son of Olorus, of the deme of Halimusia.
The cognomen (" surname ") was the name given to a Roman citizen as a member of a fanzilia or branch of the gens, whereby the family was distinguished from other families belonging to the same gens.

 Behind the Name: Roman Names
In everyday use, a Roman would be known by a combination of his praenomen and nomen, or by his cognomen.
During the time of the early Roman Republic there may have been feminine praenomina, but by the time of the later Republic and Empire women were simply known by the feminine form of their father's nomen.
In the later Roman Empire the feminine form of the cognomen was also given to the daughter.

 Roman naming convention : Nomen
During the Roman Republic and Empire, the cognomen is inherited from father to son, serving to distinguish a family within a Gens.
In the beginning, the praenomen and nomen constituted a Roman's full name and were followed by the so-called filiation (a patronymic or indication of paternity).
The filiation (patronimicus) consisted of the Latin word for "son" filius (abbreviated by the letter f.) preceded by the abbreviation of the father's praenomen, which was understood in the genitive.

Yet even the Romans argued about the legal and moral issue of whether the child of a female slave was considered her own.
According to the Roman principle, ius civile, the child would belong to the owner of the mother who beared that child, but unless she was given in usufruct, the child then belonged to the owner of the usufruct.

 Roman Nomenclature
Roman citizens (male) had a complex system of names, which distinguished them from all other peoples of the ancient world, who mostly used a personal name with a patronymic.
All Romans had two names (1 and 2 below) and most three as well: these are the three names (tria nomina) by which those who were (or tried t pass themselves off as) Roman citizens can be distinguished in the absence of any other evidence.
Slaves set free by Romans (“freedmen”, “liberti”) themselves normally became Roman citizens: they would take the praenomen and gentilicum of their former owner (“patron”), and keep their old personal name as cognomen: freedmen who belonged to a woman take her father’s praenomen and gentilicum.

 Dead Romans: Coins   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Roman coins offer a unique view into ancient Roman life because they were used by almost everyone on a daily basis, from the emperor down to the Head Count.
It's easy to see why Roman coins were often struck off-center so that part of the design was lost off the edge of the coin, or the coin did not have a uniform thickness.
Roman coins were being minted in Greece, Spain, Gaul, Lugdunum, Pergamum, and the East.

Roman law did not require marriage documents, or tabulae nuptiales, and though they were common in the classical period in the West, almost all surviving examples are from the East.
But Romanisation was by no means complete: the opening date of this document retains some local flavour, as Roman consular dating is followed by the month and year according to the Babylonian calendar and then by the number of years after the foundation of the nearby colony Antoniniana Edessa.
In documents of the Roman period, there were Roman touches, but these were not matters of strict law (they included dates and stipulations) and they probably mattered little to the women, who were concerned only that their documents were effective.

Tiberius Claudius Nero was born on 16 November 42 BC to Tiberius Nero and Livia Drusilla.
But during his boyhood the old Roman Republican system of rule by Senate and magistrates; which had been tottering for decades, was finally toppled and replaced by an autocracy under the able and ambitious Octavian (later known as Augustus).
The elevation of Germanicus was perhaps nothing more than a show to placate the Roman populace and remove Germanicus from Rome; Germanicus died in 19 and, on his deathbed, accused the governor of Syria, Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso, of murdering him.

Romans were addressed by one name in informal situations.
Roman women, even those from wealthy families, typically did not use a praenomen at all, but rather only a nomen and cognomen (see below).
There are hundreds of praenomina known, but there were only around 17 or so praenomina commonly used by the Roman upper class.

During the siege, the episode known as the Rape of Lucrece took place, sparking the revolt of the Romans and the Founding of the Roman Republic in 509 B.C. Tarquinius Superbus was forced to flee to the Etruscan town of Caere (modern Cerveteri).
He and his staff compiled lists of all Roman citizens, recording their name, age, ancestry, families, wealth as well as which one of the three tribes of Rome they belonged to.
If the initial purpose of the census, the counting of the people, was to allow for the military strength of Rome to be assessed, then it was naturally the censor, during the time of conscription, were in charge of assigning men, according to their status, to the various types of infantry or cavalry.

Such a cognomen must, as among the Romans, have distinguished the several familiae contained in one gens.
The Etruscans in the Roman historians generally bear only one name, as Porsenna, Spurinna, which apparently confirms the opinion of Varro ; but on many urns in the tombs of Etruria such names terminating in no, are frequently preceded by i\.
From this comparison of the three original tribes, it is clear that when the Romans became united into one nation, they chiefly followed the custom of the Sabines, and perhaps that of the Latins.

 Roman naming convention : Nomen
The Roman Naming Convention documents the creation and use of names in the ancient Roman language of Latin.
There is inscriptional evidence to show that in the earliest period there were female versions of the praenomina and that women's names presumably consisted of a praenomen and nomen followed by filiation.
In the beginning, the praenomen and nomen constituted a Roman's full name and were followed by the so-called filiation (a patronymic or indication of paternity).

In the Roman West, the situation appears to be somewhat different.
Although some women of free birth went into midwifery as a profession, the bulk of them were probably of servile origin or the daughters of women of the lower classes.
50.13.1 gives a list of people for whom provincial governors were to hear suits on contracts for wages; at 50.13.1.2 the midwife is given equal access to the official because she is regarded as practicing medicine just as doctors do (quae utique medicinam exhibere videtur).

He concluded that the four veteran Roman legions (24, §2) were posted on the lower slopes of Armecy, facing west-south-west, and that the hill to which the Helvetii retreated was on the further side of the valley through which runs the road from Toulon-sur-Arroux to Luzy.
He says that it is not certain that a Roman army had never before crossed the northern frontier of the Province, and that if one had, Ariovistus would not have cared; for all that mattered to him was that Caesar should not invade his province, - the territory which he had won from the Sequani.
