Deux hommages en l’honneur de deux chevaliers en Afrique Proconsulaire : Caecilius Secundus et L. Sempronius Ianuarius

Abstract

Two Latin inscriptions recently discovered in Tunisia pertain to two equestrian officers. The first, totally unpublished from Bisica Lucana, refers to Caecilius Secundus who had an abbreviated military career commending just one unit. The second – having already been the subject of a brief study – relates to L. Sempronius Ianuarius who was procurator of the ratio patrimonii in Africa Proconsularis. I thus reject previous according to which he was ducenarian procurator in Rome.
