Pomponia
(291 words)
[German version] [1] Mother of P. Cornelius [I 71] Scipio Africanus Mother of P. Cornelius [I 71] Scipio Africanus, whom she (according to Liv. 26,19,6; Gell. 6,1,1-4) is supposed (in imitation of the history of the birth of Alexander [4] the Great) to have conceived with a snake (=
Jupiter). He is also supposed to have given her an account of a dream of his, that he and his elder brother Lucius would take office as
aediles, and she was very moved by this (Pol. 10,4,4-5,7); the story is incredible and fallacious (cf. [1. 200 f.]). Perhaps with its help Scipio married …

British Usurpation
(197 words)
[German version] Usurpation within the Roman Empire, in Britain (AD 286-296) and in the coastal region of north-west Gaul (AD 286-293). The
praefectus classis
Britannicae Carausius, under threat of execution for alleged misappropriation of booty, had himself acclaimed emperor, went to Britain with his fleet, and there and on the channel coast of Gaul ( Gesoriacum) set up the British Usurpation (BU). Rulership and administration followed the Roman model; consolidation of his rule and stimulation of the economy were the characteristics of Carausius' policy. In 289 he successfully repulsed a fleet attack by Maximianus [1] Daia. This led to temporary recognition of his empire and widespread acceptance of Carausius. In 290 he took over the imperial coining system (mints: Londinium, Clausentum and probably Rutupiae; Gesoriacum on the cont…

Victoria
(690 words)
[German version] [1] Roman goddess and personification of victory Roman goddess and personification of victory, etymologically derived from
vincere, "to be victorious" [5. 2501]. In contrast to Nike, her Greek counterpart whom she followed closely in her personification and iconography (as winged goddess, often with cornucopia, wreath and palm leaf: [4. 239-269]), V. was worshipped early and independently in her cult as the symbol of victory achieved (mostly militarily, therefore the close connection to Mars, according to CIL III 4412; VII 220; V. in the
pompa circensis: Cic. Att. 13,44,1; Ov. Am. 3,2,45) [5. 2507]. According to Dion. Hal. Ant. Rom. 1,32,5, V. received yearly sacrifices on the Palatine already in the period of Euander [1], but this appears to be a late propagandistic fiction. She received her first temple on the Palatine (Mons Palatinus; Rome III, with map 2) from L. Postumius [I 16] Megellus in the context of the 3rd Samnite War (Samnites IV). It was probably dedicated on August 1st, the day of her festival, in 294 BC (Liv. 10,33,9; [3. vol. …

(323 words)

E.'s reign was marked by the constant endeavour to expand the area of his kingdom (originally Aquitania II, Novempopulana and parts of Narbonensis I) and to weaken the dependence on Rome, which is clear from the termination of the
foedus with the Romans. From 468 he advanced against the Suebi and in the following years conquered almost the e…
