Род Флавий — плебейская семья в Древнем Риме . Ее члены впервые упоминаются в течение последних трех столетий существования республики . Первым из Флавий, добившимся выдающегося положения, был Марк Флавий , плебейский трибун в 327 и 323 годах до нашей эры; однако ни один Флавий не достиг консульства до Гая Флавия Фимбрия в 104 г. до н.э. Род прославился в первом веке нашей эры, когда род Флавий Сабини претендовал на императорское достоинство . [1]
При Империи число лиц, носящих этот номен, становится очень большим, возможно, из-за большого количества вольноотпущенников при династии императоров Флавиев. Для вольноотпущенников было обычной практикой принимать на себя имена своих покровителей, и поэтому бесчисленное количество людей, получивших римское право при императорах Флавиях, приняли имя Флавий , которое затем передавалось их потомкам. Вольноотпущенники при династии Константинов , члены которой также назывались Флавиями , также приняли его, как и отдельные лица, поступившие на государственную службу во время их правления, часто заменяя свое первоначальное имя династическим Флавием . [1] [2]
Подавляющее большинство людей по имени Флавий во времена поздней Империи не могли происходить от рода Флавий; и действительно, различие между nomina и cognomina было почти утеряно, так что во многих случаях невозможно даже определить с уверенностью, является ли это nomen или когноменом. Однако, поскольку невозможно определить, кто из этих людей использовал Флавий как родовое имя, они перечислены ниже. [1] [3]
Источник
Флавии Республики заявляли о своем сабинском происхождении и, возможно, были связаны с Флавиями, жившими в Реате в первом веке нашей эры, от которых произошел император Веспасиан ; но гентилициум встречается и в других частях Италии, например в Этрурии и Лукании . [1] Номен Флавий имеет латинское происхождение и происходит от фамилии Флавий , используемой рядом родов и означающей «золотой» или «золотисто-коричневый». Вероятно, это относилось к светлым волосам одного из первых членов семьи. [4] [5]
Позднее использование
В более поздний период Империи имя Флавий часто переходило от одного императора к другому, начиная с Констанция Хлора , отца Константина Великого . [1] [6] Имя стало настолько повсеместным, что иногда к нему относились как к преномену , вплоть до регулярного сокращения Fl. , и в некоторых источниках оно даже описывается как преномен, хотя на самом деле оно никогда не использовалось как личное имя, а со времен Гонория оно появляется главным образом в буквах. [6] Он снова стал регулярной частью номенклатуры восточных императоров от Юстиниана I до правления Константина IV и появился уже во времена правления Льва VI в десятом веке. [1] [7] [8] После того, как это имя вышло из употребления среди византийских императоров, оно использовалось в качестве легитимного титула среди варварских правителей бывших римских провинций, таких как Вестготская Испания и короли Остготского королевства Италии. и Королевство Лангобардов . [9] [10] [3]
Начиная с четвертого века нашей эры, это имя широко распространено среди неимператоров как знак достоинства. Широко распространен в эпиграфике Германии . В Египте, где доказательства наиболее убедительны, оно было частью полного имени всех имперских чиновников, всех провинциальных чиновников, высших гражданских чиновников и большинства солдат. Это использование появляется вскоре после того, как Константин получил контроль над провинцией в 324 году нашей эры. Между 287 и 326 годами нашей эры египтяне аналогичным образом использовали Валерий (имя предшественников Константина). Люди, не имеющие права на «Флавия», носили номен Аврелий или не номен. Первоначально люди иногда использовали имя Флавий вместе с другими именами, на которые они имели право (например, Юлий, Элий), но эти другие имена вымерли в пятом веке. [11] В четвертом веке имя не было унаследовано детьми или женами «Флавия», но с пятого века высокопоставленные держатели иногда передавали это имя своим потомкам. [12] После арабского завоевания Египта в 646 году использование имени «Флавий» стало менее последовательным и через некоторое время оно вымерло. [13]
В современном использовании Флавий — личное имя и широко используется в романских языках, включая итальянский и испанский Флавио (жен. Флавия ), французский Флавиен (жен. Флави ), португальский Флавио (жен. Флавиа ) и румынский Флавиус или Флавиу (флавиус ). фем. Флавия ).
Преномина
Ранние Флавии использовали преномины Марк , Квинт , Гай и Луций . Из них из семейства фимбриев известны только Гай и Луций . Имя Гней встречается один раз, но как сын вольноотпущенника в семье, и поэтому не кажется представителем рода. Флавии Сабини, по-видимому, ограничились одним преноменом Титом и различали своих сыновей, используя разные фамилии, обычно давая младшим сыновьям фамилии, полученные от их предков по материнской линии.
Филиалы и имена
The Flavii of the Republic used the cognominaFimbria, Gallus, Lucanus, and Pusio.[1] Only the Fimbriae, whose surname refers to a fringe or border, represented a distinct family.[14][15]Gallus and Lucanus belong to a class of surnames derived from places of origin or association, referring to Gaul and Lucania, respectively, although Gallus, a very common surname, could also refer to a cockerel.[16][17]Pusio was originally a nickname indicating a little boy, and would have been bestowed on someone small or youthful.[18]
The Flavii Sabini, whose surname indicates Sabine ancestry, rose to prominence under the Empire. They were descended from Titus Flavius Petro, a soldier from Reate who fought under Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus. Within two generations they had attained such respectability that two of his grandsons held the consulship in consecutive years, AD 51 and 52; the younger of these marched to Rome at the head of an army in the year of the four emperors, AD 69, and claimed the imperial dignity as the emperor Vespasian. However, within less than thirty years, the family was largely destroyed through the workings of Vespasian's son, the emperor Domitian.[19][16] The Flavii Titiani may be descended from the Flavii Sabini through the consul Titus Flavius Clemens, a nephew of Vespasian; the first of this branch, Titus Flavius Titianus, who was governor of Egypt from AD 126 to 133, may have been his son.
A family of the Flavii bearing the surname Valens lived at Hatria, and from there migrated to Rome in imperial times, where two of them served as prefects of different cohorts.[20]

Flavius, or Flavius Lucanus, a Lucanian, who went over to Mago during the Second Punic War, and delivered the proconsulTiberius Sempronius Gracchus, in return for the promise that the Lucanians should be free and retain their own constitution.[23][24][25]
Quintus Flavius, an augur who, according to Valerius Maximus, was accused by the aedile Gaius Valerius (perhaps the same who was curule aedile in BC 199). When fourteen tribes had already voted against Flavius, who again asserted his innocence, Valerius declared that he did not care whether the man was guilty or innocent, provided he secured his punishment; and the people, indignant at such conduct, acquitted Flavius.[26][27]
Quintus Flavius, of Tarquinii, murdered the slave Panurgus, who belonged to Gaius Fannius Chaereas, and who was to be trained as an actor by Quintus Roscius, the celebrated comedian.[28]
Lucius Flavius, an eques, who gave evidence against Verres in BC 70. He probably lived in Sicily, and was engaged in mercantile pursuits. He appears to be the same Lucius Flavius who is mentioned as procurator (that is, the agent or steward) of Gaius Matrinius in Sicily.[29]
Gaius Flavius, brother of Lucius, and likewise an eques, whom Cicero recommended in BC 46 to Manius Acilius, praetor of Sicily, as an intimate friend of Cicero's late son-in-law, Gaius Calpurnius Piso Frugi.[30]

Gaius Flavius, an eques of Asta, a Roman colony in Spain. He and other equites, who had belonged to the party of Pompeius, went over to Caesar in BC 45.

Others
Flavius Scaevinus, a senator of dissolute life, took part in the conspiracy of Piso against Nero. It was through Milichus, the freedman of Scaevinus, that the conspiracy was discovered by Nero. Milichus was liberally rewarded by the emperor, and Scaevinus put to death.[59]
