PRINCIPATUS DEVRİ KILIKIA KÖKENLİ ROMA SENATÖRLERi

Abstract

Abstract

Only four senators are known to be from Cilicia from about 250 senators who have taken up career in the Principate from Asia Minor. They are Q. Pompeius Falco from Hierapolis Castabala, his origin is not clear, C. Iulius [...]iulianus who is a native of Magarsos, Hemerius and his son from Tarsos. Q. Pompeius Falco, who begun his career as decemviri stlitibus iudicandis at the end of first Century A.D., attained Asia Proconsularis, that is top of the senatorial career, in 124/125. When Falco’s carrer is examined, it is seen that he has functioned in the emperor’s provinces as legatus Augusti pro praetore. Only preliminary stage of Iulius’career is known, his cursus inscription is dated to second century A.D. But, that Iulius has worked as IV vir viarum curandorum and tribunus militum indicate that he might have had a birillant career, if he had had luck to go on his career. Hemerius, who carried out local magistracy as Cilikarches, gymnasiarchos, demiurgos etc., was accepted to Senatus in consular rank by Caracalla or Elagabalus. His son also accepted to Senatus with him. But there is not another document connected with the son of Hemerius other than that belongs to his father. The scarcity of the senators from Cilicia is probably due to the fact that it had been difficult to establish Roman rule in the area and especially in Cilicia Tracheia to the lack of sufficient economic resources. On the other hand, the fact that the Senatus had two senators from Tarsus, a culturally and economically developed city, could be linked to Rome’s not having a centrally determined policy regarding the selection of senators and their distribution in certain regions and cities
