An order/rank among Romans.[1]
"Antonius Saturninus, infamous and despicable, was enrolled in the senate under Vespasian, Vespasian having contrived this as the best of jokes: for granting him this prize which, while profitless, was nevertheless something to be revered, he enveloped him with wicked esteem."[2]
Greek Original:
Boulê: taxis para Rhômaiois. Antônios Satorninos epirrêtos kai bdeluros para Ouespesianou es tên boulên enegraphê, Ouespesianou sophisamenou geloiotata touto: axiôsei gar auton periebale kakiai dous akerdes men, semnon de homôs tode athlon.
