Laberia (gens)
The gens Laberia was a minor plebeian family at Rome. Members of this gens are first mentioned in the second century BC, at which time they held senatorial rank. However, most of the members mentioned later were equites.
Members
- Quintus Laberius L. f., a senator in 129 BC.[1]
- Decimus Laberius, an eques, celebrated as a writer of mimes. Caesar offered him 500,000 sestertii to appear on the stage at his triumphal games in 45 BC; Laberius complied, but took advantage of the opportunity to beard the dictator, and spar verbally with Cicero, and with his rival, Publilius Syrus.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
- Laberius, a poet mentioned by Martial, who might be identified with the comedic writer.[9]
- Quintus Laberius Durus, a military tribune, fell in battle during Caesar's second expedition to Britain.[10][11]
- Laberius Maximus, procurator of Judea in AD 73 and 74, during the reign of Vespasian. Following the destruction of Jerusalem, Laberius was ordered to offer all the lands of Judea for sale. He may the same Laberius Maximus whom Trajan banished.[12][13]
- Quintus Laberius L. f. Justus Cocceius Lepidus,[lower-roman 1] proconsul of Cyprus in AD 100.[14][15]
Footnotes
- ↑ In his study of Roman nomenclature, Salomies presents a hypothetical stemma, showing how Laberius might have been descended from two distinct families, the Laberii and the Cocceii.
