Titus Imperator numbers
« on: October 30, 2009, 12:34:46 pm »
Does anyone have a listing of the dates and events associated with Titus' IMP XIIII and IMPXV appellations.  Both are listed as 79AD but do we have a month and day?

Hi!

Dietmar Kienast, Römische Kaisertabellen, has listed IMP XIV under '2nd half 78' and IMP XV under '2nd half 79'. Events were:
dies imperii June 24 AD 79
PONTIFEX MAXIMUS after June 24, on inscriptions sometimes earlier
PATER PATRIAE after July 1
Eruption of Vesuvius August 24. 79

Bestt regards

In a military diploma dated 8 Sept. 79, now in BM and published in Journal of Roman Studies 16, 1926, Titus is still IMP XIIII.

Therefore it would appear that news of his IMP XV reached Rome after 8 Sept. 79.
