It means that Quintilius Varus was governor of Syria from 6 to 4. B. C. E., followed by Sentius Saturninus from 4 to 2 B. C. E., and then followed. Varus from 2 B. C. E. 1. The Two Governorships of Quintilius Varus. If it can be shown historically that Quintilius. Varus was in fact twice governor of Syria, it would give a great deal of. I present in this book. And. truly, that proof can be given. In the year 1. 76. Tibur (Tivoli), about 2. Rome. It described in Latin the. Roman military commander who held several important offices. Augustus. Though the complete inscription has not. What remains of the. The inscription itself is shown with some. Professor Mommsen given in italics. The inscription tells us. Augustus. It is not a difficult matter to. This province was located in the western part of. Turkey. It was one of two senatorial provinces in the Roman Empire. Augustus which was governed by men who were normally. This tells us something about the man of the. Of the four million or so Roman citizens. Augustus. Indeed. Augustus himself mentioned that his principate had witnessed 8. This fact narrows the identification of the man to one of those 8. But even more narrowing can be done. Professor Syme has proved that. This probably shows that nearly half of the 8. Augustan consuls could be. However, Quintilius Varus was consul in 1. B. C. E., and was an. Asia) for 1. 5 years or so. B. C. E. This fact indicates that Quintilius Varus could be. Tibur. Secondly, the inscription gives another clue to the. It states he had been governor of Syria. Though there are a. Augustus when no one knows who. Syria, there are names of nine or ten men revealed in history. Again, Quintilius Varus was one of them. Thirdly, the word regem is used at the. This denotes that a king (living or dead) had. This indicates that the government of the king had been. This specification could precisely tally with the career of Quintilius Varus. Varus stepped in with three legions to quell. Herod’s kingdom to Rome. Quintilius Varus is a. Fourthly, the inscription specifically says the man. And that is exactly what Quintilius Varus did in Palestine. I have given historical and. Quintilius Varus was twice governor of Syria. Interestingly, the. It could hardly be said he was twice governor when he simply had two. Even in this point, Quintilius Varus fits the man of. Sixthly, the mention of the man having two. How many people had been twice governor of Syria in the. Augustus? There are really only two candidates. One is Sulpicius. Quirinius (whom we will speak about in the next chapter) and, as we have. Quintilius Varus. To be sure, others have been suggested. Taylor. thought that Titius could be considered. Yet there is not the slightest hint. Syria and Syme has shown that Titius would. B. C. E. 9. Professor Groag thought Plautius Silvanus might be the man of the. One of his main reasons for suggesting this was because the. Plautii family. Other scholars have thought that Calpumius Piso may be the man. Everyone knows he was governor of Syria in C. E. 6/7, and Luke. Jesus was born. These two governorships make Quirinius a definite. Yet, there are problems. The inscription mentions a war against a. The war in which the ancient writers have singled out. Quirinius for praise was that against the Homonadenses in Asia Minor north. Taurus mountains. But the fact is, as Sherwin- White points out, the. Homonadenses had no king. Some have thought that Quirinius conducted the Homonadensian War when he was. Syria, but to wage war against people living on the. Taurus Mountains from the region of Syria makes not. Another point concerning Quirinius is this: it could. Syria, not simply. His first rule would have been at the nativity of Jesus, as testified. Luke; his second when he became rector to Gaius Caesar from C. E. 1 to 4. his third when he assumed a governorship of Syria in C. E. The. inscription, however, records “twice” not thrice. A final point speaks decidedly against Quirinius. The ancestral home of Quirinius was at. Lanuvium, 1. 2. while the inscription was found about 3. Tibur. Since Quirinius died without descendants. Rome or in Lanuvium (or in any other area where he had been prominent), but. Tibur. Yet, for Quintilius Varus. The ancestral home of Varus, and where he had a magnificent. His. family had long lived in the vicinity. Horace, who resided just east of. Tibur, referred to Varus’ father (Ode 1. Quintilius (Ode 2. See Smith, Dictionary. Greek and Roman Geography, vol. III, p. Though Varus’ family was. Quintilius Varus was made consul in 1. B. C. E. From then on, their fortunes. This was especially so when Varus was appointed governor of. Syria. Velleius Paterculus said that Varus entered the rich province of. Syria as a poor man, but left the province a rich man and the province poor. On a low ridge just across the. River Anio from Tibur, Varus built one of the grandest villas of the time. The extent of his living quarters was about 2. The villa was. situated on the ridge so that those looking southeastwards towards Tibur. Anio and the several waterfalls. The western area gave a panoramic view of. Mediterranean and Rome could be seen 2. There was hardly a more favorable. The fact that this location was the home of. Quintilius Varus has been recognized by those in Tibur for generations. A. tract on the declivity of Monte Peschiavatore bore the name of. Quintiliolo as far back as the 1. La Madonna di Quintiliolo, an. Varus. 1. 5The agricultural lands supporting such a large. It was normal. for the governors of Roman provinces to bring back to their ancestral. They bought up. hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of acres and formed gigantic. Agrippa rose out of nothing: he came to own the whole. Gallipoli. Statilius possessed a variety of properties. Istria, whole armies of slaves at Rome. Loilius left millions to his. And when Quintilius Varus came back from the. Syria, he had its riches in his possession. This would have. allowed him to buy thousands of acres around his residential villa, and this. All of this surely means that Varus secured much. Tibur where his villa was located. This brings. us to an important point concerning the inscription. Just where was it. Sanclemente, writing about 3. Roman gate” of. the western wall of Tibur. He also said it was located. Tiburtina”. (that is, on the slopes of the hill leading up to the town), and. Via Tiburtina . Since it was found outside the Roman gate, this surely means. He also said it was on the slopes of the hill. This also brings it close to the. Since it was located between the Roman road and the. Villa Hadriana, it was found in a southwesterly direction from the city. The circle on the accompanying map gives a reasonable area for the. Why is this factor important? Simply because it. Quintilius Varus’ residential villa. And since Varus must have had. Varus. The location of the discovery makes. Quintilius Varus. A Difficulty. While all the above information seems in favor of. Tibur (called the lapistiburtinus) as. Quintilius Varus, there is a problem with it. The phrase. “divi Augusti”. This title, showing that the Senate reckoned Augustus. Augustus’ death in C. E. 1. 4, but. Quintilius Varus died in C. E. This was one of the main reasons for. Mommsen and Ramsay to conclude that the inscription was Quirinius’ because. Rome seven years after the death of Augustus. However, the theory. Taylor and Meyer Reinhold both maintained that the. Augusti”. only means the inscription itself was composed after the death of Augustus . Indeed, the fact that it was produced after the death of. Augustus is a point in favor of it being an inscription to the honor of. Quintilius Varus. Let us now look at some historical information which. Quintilius Varus. To do so. we must recount an important historical event in Varus’ later life. After Varus’ two tenures in Syria, he was given a. Germany. 9, he and three legions. Teutoburg forest of Germany. The troops. were massacred and Varus himself committed suicide. His body was buried with. Augustus by the Germans. This was considered a major disaster by Rome, and so. Augustus was so upset with the defeat, and with Varus himself, that. C. E. 9 to 1. 4) he commemorated the day of. He would often dash his head against the wall and. Oh, Quintilius Varus, give me back my legions.”. Until the death of Augustus, who was so distraught with the defeat of Varus. But something different happened with the. Tiberius to the emperorship in August of C. E. 1. 4. One year after the death of Augustus, the new. Tiberius ordered Germanicus to muster nine legions to avenge the. Germanicus and his legions approached the region of the Teutoburg forest. They also gathered up the bones of their former comrades, buried. Germanicus and all the troops considered themselves as performing the last. Thus, Quintilius. Varus and his fallen legions were all given an honorable Roman burial. What has this, however, to do with the inscription. Tibur? In every way, a great deal. Sufficient time had passed for. Quintilius Varus and his troops to be honored for their defense of the. There are good reasons for believing this. He was co- consul with him in 1. B. C. E. Not only that, a recent discovery of a fragment of papyrus, which. Augustus at the death of Agrippa (in 1. B. C. E.). records that Quintilius Varus and Tiberius were brothers- in- law. At the Mountains of Madness. Title: At the Mountains of Madness. Author: H. P. Lovecraft. A Project Gutenberg of Australia e.
