Status notes and comments |
Luccius L. f. Pal Ummidius Secundus, L. was an 'alumnus' of an important local aristocrat, who had been duumvir quinquennalis and became municipal patron of Casinum and of Interamna Lirens where he had also been 'curator rei publicae' (Nicols 2014; Jacques 198---: ------0-------1). His second gentilicium Ummidius shows a maternal connection to the prominent senatorial family of the Ummidii Quadrati, whose hometown was Casinum (Syme 1968). But his tribe, the Palatina, differs from that of this stepfather (the Teretina--the tribe of Casinum) and indicates a freedman descent. Most likely, therefore, Luccius Ummidius Secundus was the son (or grandson) of a freedman of the elite family of the L. Luccii and a female member of the Ummidii Quadrati, possibly also a freedwoman. |
