Glossary

 

archon
Term that designates a governor in general. When it is not used in a technical sense, it denotes members of the aristocracy, high officers of the byzantine empire and it is even used for independent princes.

Mestrius Florus
Mestrius Florus was a senator and in Otho’s suite at Brixellum (Otho 14.2-3); he had also fought for Otho (unwillingly, he says) at Bedriacum, but he was close to Vespasian (who would correct his Latin pronunciation, Suet. Vesp. 22). Mestrius Florus’ proconsulship of Asia is attested on inscriptions and a letter from Ephesus and coins from Smyrna dating to the reign of Domitian (c. 87/8 or 88/9 CE)

proconsul, -lis
A quite high ranking official, vir spectabilis according to the rank of the senate, who was inequable only to the Domestikos of the Scholae and to the Magister Militum per Orientem. The proconsul usually served as a governor of the Imperial provinces (i.e. in Asia Minor the provinces of Asia and Cappadocia). The office was demoted from the 9th century onwards and the term was in use until the 12th century meaning a dignity.

procurator
Administrator of a roman Province deriving from the class of equites. He was controlled directly by the Emperor and his legati Augusti pro praetore.

unguentarium
Small vessel, usually made of glass, of elongated shape or resembling a small tube, which was used for containing make-up material and particularly kohl, the black substance with which women painted the brim of the eyes.
