Notes on life data
Geography notes Tassaux (1990: 115) assumes he was not a native of Parentium, but rather of Aquilum. He does not, however, argue this point and it goes against the intepretation given to 'curialis vetus' by Mommsen in CIL. Septiminus in any case did belong to the 'tribus' that Parentium belonged to. His wife Coelia Marcia, however, did come from Issa (InscrIt-10-02, 00017).

Status notes and comments
CIL 05, 00335
 
He had fulfilled all municipal offices at Parentium, which implies he achieved also the highest office. He is honoured as curialis vetus Parentii, which Mommsen (in CIL 5, p. 35) interprets as cuius etiam maiores in curia ea locum habuerint. If this interpretation is correct, Septiminus stems from an 'old' local aristocratic family.
