LSO 487SULP D F ABASC AUG L *’(opus) Sulp(icianum) d(e) f(iglinis) Abasc(anti) Aug(usti) l(iberti)’.Orbicular brick stamp, dated to the period of Trajan (Steinby 90), recorded byMarini as: ‘d f Abasc Aug Sulp’. The Ostian variation consists of a rectangularfor an orbicular stamp shape, to distinguish smaller from the larger bricksproduced (cf. Steinby, LSO ad loc.).

Rome/OstiaP

Setälä (43, 250, 266) registers Abascantus as dominus (i.e. owner) of the landon which the ‘clay district’ of the figlinae Sulpicianae is located, following theformula ‘de figlinis + genitive’ as indicating ownership of the land in question..He thus becomes one of only two freedmen, both Augusti liberti, to qualify asdomini in the brick stamp corpus, although the one-name stamp also implies thathe was a brick producer (officinator) as well as landowner (dominus). Thedominus status of the other Imperial freedman, Agathyrsus Aug. lib. (1321), isconfirmed in several different binominal stamps, characteristic of the secondcentury, in which he is named as owner according to the formula ‘ex pr(aedis) +genitive, along with an officinator who was responsible for the overallorganization of brick production (see Helen 89ff.) The case of Abascantus,however, who only appears on one-name stamps, is more problematic. For the


complex pattern of domini involved in the production of opus Sulpicianumprecisely in the early 2nd C. before AD123, see esp. Steinby 89-92, who allowsthat many on these single-name stamps could be officinatores (cf. the Dressel’slist, CIL 15.1, p.157-6). By AD 138 the emperor was the sole dominus onstamps of the opus Sulpicianum (Steinby 91). The role of Imperial freedmenand slaves in the brick industry in the preceding period merits furtherinvestigation.

Land in the neighbourhood of Rome, including ‘clay district’ land, most of whoseowners in the period after Hadrian were either members of the Imperial family orof the senatorial order, was at a premium. It is strange indeed then to findelsewhere, on a one-name brick stamp of the year 123, a slave, albeit anImperial slave , Anteros Caes. n. ser. (3756), claimed as the dominus of suchland: ‘dol(iare) ex fig(linis) Anterotis Caes(aris) n(ostri) ser(vi)’ (15.810). Onwhat legal basis such ownership could be based, it is difficult to speculate(Setälä 59). Unless, of course, despite the ‘ex figlinis’ formula, the slave wassimply the officinator operating on land belonging to, say the emperor, as onemight assume from his other brick stamps, dated from before and after that year(Bloch, BL 17), e.g. 15.811a-c: ‘dol(iare Anterotis Severi(ani) Caesaris n(ostri)’.That is certainly possible later in the second century, e.g. 15.757: ‘ex praedisAug(usti) nos(tri), ex f(iglinis) Pompei Heli’; and, for a slave, 1063: ‘op(us)dol(iare) ex p(raedis) Dom(itiae) Luc(illae), ex fig(linis) Quartionis’, cf. 1064: ‘exfiglinis Lucillaes, Quartionis’ (see Helen 72-5).

*6-7: ‘qui proc(uravit) in ratione hered(itatium) ad leges praedior(um)’. The alternative nomen accorded to Apate on her tombstone is very unusual;the simplest explanation is that it is derived from that of her husband. Cf. 1344(1): Ulpius Symphorus = Ulpia Helpis quae et Claudia. (On these inscriptions,see esp. Chantraine 89ff., 252, who gives other examples of the phenomenonoutside the Fam. Caes.) After 44 years of marriage, Apate must have beenabout 60 or older when she died. Florus, who reached the senior grade of procurator in a department in Rome,usually some ten years or so after manumission, probably put up this inscriptionlate in Hadrian’s reign or during that of Antoninus. Apate’s son Ulpius Felix, who died at the age of 10 years and took hismother’s (first) nomen, was no doubt born before the manumission of his fatherFlorus by Hadrian and was probably freeborn.

*Regulations governing the gift to the collegium Aesculapi et Hygiae inmemory of her imperial freedman husband, M. Ulpius Capito, by the freebornSalvia Marcellina, and by his imperial freedman brother, P. Aelius Zeno. Theinscription is dated to the latter part of the reign of Antoninus Pius, some fortyyears or more after the manumission of Capito and an unknown period after hisdeath. He was adiutor of Flavius Apollonius, the equestrian procurator apinothecis, a short-lived post involving refitting the imperial art collections, forwhich J. Beaujeu, CRAI 1982, 671–88, proposes a Hadrianic date; cf. AE 1982,17.

*The identity of the dedicand Charito in (1) and (2) is confirmed by the age-at-death of 35 years given in both inscriptions. This age-figure would correspondwith his final rank as an intermediate clerical tabularius at Tarsus in Cilicia,revealed by an oblique reference to the Imperial service in (2): pivstin e[con


tabouvlh” crhvmato” Aujsonivou. He was born in Sardinia and died in Italy.From the family details in (1), he was slave-born, as was evidently his sisterCharitine, and must have been manumitted at an extremely early age for oneadmitted to the Imperial service. If P. Aelius Africanus in (1) served as freedman under two successiveemperors, the inscription has to be dated at the earliest to AD 138. Charito, whowas freed by Trajan, must therfore have been manumitted at least 21 yearspreviously, at the age of 14, or probably younger, if his death occurred at allrecently before his monument was erected. This would be another instance ofextraordinarily early manumission of Augustorum liberti in the period before 161.See under 1140 (Ulpius Agilis* ).

*Sherwin White (2) 391. Nothing else is known of Sempronius Senecio apartfrom his equestrian status. He is unlikely to have been a procurator, althoughthe case could have arisen in a provincial context, as did the other two casesbefore this consilium of Trajan. The reluctance of some of the heirs to proceedwith the prosecution focused on the Imperial freedman Eurythmus because ofhis procuratorial office, as did the disarming reply of Trajan: ‘nec ille Polyclitusest nec ego Nero’. Nevertheless, we have another equestrian–Imperialfreedman pair in trouble.

The mint workers in (2) & (3), who are designated simply as ‘lib.’ or ‘s(er)’,must be assumed to be freedmen and slaves of the emperor; cf. their overseer,Felix Aug. lib./l. (1) & (3), who is himself recorded simply as ‘lib.’ in (2).However, it has not been considered necessary to list all of them individually inthe catalogue under their separate names, although they are recorded in theIndex of Names. Of the individual names, seven appear twice belonging todifferent persons (Epaphroditus, Eutychus, Felix, Helius, Mamas, Telesphorus,Zosimus), and one three times (Primigenius). The 25 officinatores (16 freedmen; 9 slaves) in (2) are manual workers in ageneral sense at the mint; (as distinct from nummularii found elsewhere, cf.6.298 = D 1636; 8461 = D 1637). In (3), on the other hand, the workers aregrouped according to their technical functions, in descending order of status, assignatores (die-engravers: 12 freedmen; 5 slaves), suppostores (those who castthe metal beneath the dies: 18 freedmen; 11 slaves), and malliatores (those who


struck or stamped the coins: 14 slaves, no freedmen, and 3 who are non-imperial workers: Sallustius Hermes & Mevius Cerdo —possibly freeborn—andAsclepios Felicis [ser.?]). See esp. Boulvert (1) 264ff. + nn.; Melville Jones192–4.

1263 Lycormas (freedman of Trajan; PIR2 L 459) (1) Pliny, Ep. 10. 63 (to Trajan)scripsit mihi, domine, Lycormas libertus tuus ut, si qua legatio a Bosporovenisset urbem petitura, usque in adventum suum retineretur. et legatioquidem, dumtaxat in eam civitatem, in qua ipse sum, nulla adhuc venit, sed venittabellarius Sauromatae , quem ego usus opportunitate, quam mihi casusobtulerat, cum tabellario qui Lycormam ex itinere praecessit mittendum putavi, utposses ex Lycormae et regis epistulis pariter cognoscere, quae fortasse pariterscire deberes.

(2) ib. 67 (to Trajan)legato Sauromatae regis, cum sua sponte Nicaeae, ubi me invenerat, biduosubstitisset, longiorem moram faciendam, domine, non putavi, primum quodincertum adhuc erat, quando libertus tuus Lycormas venturus esset ... (2) haecin notitiam tuam perferenda existimavi, quia proxime scripseram petisseLycormam, ut legationem, si qua venisset a Bosporo, usque in adventum suumretinerem. ...

AD 111

*For commentary, see Sherwin-White (2) 648–9. Lycormas is not called‘procurator’ by Pliny in either letter, simply as ‘libertus tuus’. He may thereforehave been on a special assignment in the Bosporan region and not an official ofthe provincial administration of Bithynia-Pontus at all. The tone of the Imperialfreedman’s letter to the senatorial governor, as reported in (1): ‘scripsitut...legatio usque in adventum suum retineretur’, is not as peremptory as it mightseem; cf. (2) ‘petisse Lycormam’. Pliny, however, reports the request to Trajanand gives reasons for not complying. He does not treat Lycormas as one of hisown staff responsible to him—an interesting reflection of the formal relationshipbetween officials of different sectors in the Imperial provincial administration andtheir separate links with the emperor, particularly where Imperial property andother interests were involved.

AD 126 *Menophilus, who rose to to the rank of adiutor proc(uratoris), wasmanumitted at the age of 26 or even younger, given his age at death of 35, andthe date of the inscription, 9 years after the death of Trajan, who manumittedhim. Early manumission is unusual for those in the administration, but less so


for those in the domestic service, as was Menophilus. More unusual is the factthat his father, also named Menophilus, a freedman of Hadrian, was manumittedlater than his son, and thus presumably unusually late, if, as is reasonable toassume, there was a 15-20 year gap in their ages.

At that age Gregorius, if in the imperialadministrative service, should be still a slave (see Weaver, art. cit. 80-81). Theinscription could be dated as late as the middle of Hadrian’s reign, c. AD 130.

Puteoli: IA B H I

This interpretation is preferred to that of Solin (Puteoli 11, 1987, 38–40 = AE1988, 296) that Gregorius is the son of another Nicephorus, freedman andhomonym of the Imperial freedman M. Ulpius Nicephorus, and that theinscription be dated to c. AD 170. Supernomina of the ‘detached’ type (signa), which appear separately from thename of the dedicated at the head or elsewhere in an inscription, which can beof a non-funerary kind, are of eastern origin and appear late in the 2nd C. Chantraine (382) reads lines 2-3: ‘Gregorio / M. Ulp. Nicephori Aug. lib.prox(imo) [!] comm(entariorum)’, apparently ignoring the case of ‘Nicephori’ andpresumably also of ‘lib(erti)’, and continues with ‘prox(imo)’ in apposition to‘Gregorio’. He considers (384) that Gregorius here is an early example of asignum, in this case taken to distinguish a son from a father with the samecognomen. He does not consider the early age of the son in relation to hismanumission and the occupational post involved, nor the status of the father.With a single name, the latter might be taken as still a slave, while his son hasbeen favoured with early freedom and significant promotion. If, however,Nicephorus père too is an (imperial) freedman, it has to be assumed that he hasomitted his nomen (and status indication) while the mother, Ulpia Profutura,nevertheless retains hers.

3–5: ‘qui pr(ocuravit) ad anabolicum Alex(andreae), item (quipr[ocuravit]) in provincia Cilic(ia)’. On this descending procuratorialcareer, see S. Demougin, Historia 26, 1977, 381–4. It is unlikely, however,that the second last post, ‘in provincia Cilicia’ was that of a freedmanprocurator provinciae, adjunct to the equestrian procurator. PerhapsOptatus was procurator in charge of a vectigal there; cf. (T. Flavius)Eutactus (5) (814). On the procuratorship ad anabolicum, see ...On the question of Optatus’ nomen, he is more likely to have been manumittedby Trajan (or Nerva) than by one of the Flavian emperors. Assuming that hismother Fla(via) Satura was an Imperial freedwoman, his younger brotherCorinthus, who was freeborn, must have been born at the earliest in AD 70, afterhis mother’s manumission, but just as likely ten or twenty years later, i.e. AD80–90. If Optatus himself was born not more than four or fiveyears before hisbrother and was freed at the regular age of 30, he could not have been


manumitted much before AD100 nor become a fully fledged freedmanprocurator before 110. His preferred nomen is thus ‘Ulpius’, and the date of hisinscription is late Trajanic or even Hadrianic.

*Favoured by Trajan with early manumission and with advancement in theImperial domestic service, Phaedimus remarkably (and perhaps notfortuitously?) died in Cilicia at the same time and place as the emperor himself(Dio 68.33; HA Hadr. 4.7). The early manumission and death of Hypnus, thefreedman of Phaedimus (1) (1228 above), at precisely the same age asPhaedimus (2) at 28 years, however, is purely fortuitous.

*Several irregularities about the nomenclature of Primitivus and hisfreedwoman–spouse Secundilla make the readings in lines 2–3 suspect: hispraenomen Quartus (Quartius?), not ‘Marcus’; her nomen ‘Quartia’, not ‘Ulpia’;and the unusual form and order of his status indication ‘libert. Augg.’; cf.Hirschfeld, CIL ad loc.; Chantraine 80 n. 82, 227, 288 n. 28; Boulvert (2) 67 n.388 (who considers his praenomen to be derived from the nomen of hissupposed former master ‘Quartius’). In the latter case, an agnomen ‘Quartianus’


would be expected. It is not explained why the freedwoman of an Imperialfreedman of multiple Augusti takes the nomen ‘Quartia’ unless Primitivus washimself first freed by a ‘Quartius’. This is unparalleled in the Fam. Caes.material. On the general question of Augustorum liberti prior to AD 161, seecommentary and references at 1547: P. Aelius Felix (9).
