Ennia Thrasylla,〔Lightman, ''A to Z of Ancient Greek and Roman Women'', p.113〕 also known as Ennia Naeva or Ennia Naevia,〔According to the Roman Histories of Suetonius & Cassius Dio〕〔Adams, ''The Roman Emperor: Gaius 'Caligula' and His Hellenistic Aspirations'', p.136〕 Ennia the wife of Macro,〔Barrett, ''Caligula: The Corruption of Power'', p.44〕 Ennia〔Barrett, ''Caligula: The Corruption of Power'', p.79〕 and Eunia (about 15〔Barrett, ''Caligula: The Corruption of Power'', p.261〕-38,〔Bunson, ''Encyclopedia of the Roman Empire'', p.196〕 ''Ennia'' in Greek (ギリシア語:Έννίας), ''Ennia Thrasylla'' in Greek (ギリシア語:Έννία Θράσυλλα)) was a Roman noblewoman who lived in the 1st century in the Roman Empire.〔Lightman, ''A to Z of Ancient Greek and Roman Women'', p.113〕 ==Family background== Ennia was of Latin, Greek, Armenian and Median descent. She was the daughter and known child of Lucius Ennius from his unnamed wife〔Levick, ''Tiberius: The Politician'', p.p.137&230〕〔Genealogy of daughter of Tiberius Claudius Thrasyllus & Aka II of Commagene at rootsweb〕 and perhaps had a brother called Lucius Ennius who was the father of Lucius Ennius Ferox, a Roman Soldier who served during the reign of the Roman emperor Vespasian〔Coleman-Norton, ''Ancient Roman Statutes'', p.151-2〕 from 69 until 79. Her father Lucius Ennius, was a Latin Roman Eques,〔Levick, ''Tiberius: The Politician'', p.p.137&230〕〔Tacitus, ''Annals'', Book III, 70〕 who originally may have come from the Roman province of Creta et Cyrenaica, as he was a contemporary to the reign of the Roman emperor Tiberius who ruled from 14 until 37. Lucius Ennius was a relative of Quintus Ennius, a Poet that lived during the Roman Republic and Manius Ennius a Roman Soldier, that served with Germanicus in 14 on the Rhine River. The unnamed wife of Ennius who was the mother of Ennia, was a Roman noblewoman from Alexandria, in the Roman Province of Egypt who was of Greek, Armenian and Median descent. She was the daughter and oldest child, born to Thrasyllus of Mendes and his wife, Aka II of Commagene.〔Levick, ''Tiberius: The Politician'', p.p.137&230〕〔Genealogy of daughter of Tiberius Claudius Thrasyllus & Aka II of Commagene at rootsweb〕 Thrasyllus was an Egyptian Greek Grammarian, Literary Commentator who served as the astrologer and became the personal friend of the Roman emperor Tiberius,〔Holden, ''A History of Horoscopic Astrology'', p.26〕 while Aka II was a Princess of Armenian, Greek and Median descent from the Kingdom of Commagene.〔Beck, ''Beck on Mithraism: Collected Works With New Essays'', p.42-3〕 Her maternal uncle was Tiberius Claudius Balbilus,〔Royal genealogy of Aka II of Commagene at rootsweb〕 hence was a paternal cousin to Claudia Capitolina who would later marry into the Kingdom of Commagene. As Ennia by birth, her nomen is ''Ennius'' while her Cognomen ''Thrasylla'' is the female name of the ancient Greek name ''Thrasyllus''.〔The name derives from the Greek ''thrasy'' – meaning ''bold''〕 She inherited the Cognomen, ''Thrasylla'' from her maternal grandfather, as evidently she is a granddaughter of Thrasyllus.〔Lightman, ''A to Z of Ancient Greek and Roman Women'', p.113〕 Little is known on early life and life prior to marriage. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ennia Thrasylla」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
