Lucius_Calventius_Vetus_Carminius
Lucius Calventius Vetus Carminius was a Roman senator who flourished during the Principate. He was suffect consul in AD 51, replacing Servius Cornelius Scipio Salvidienus Orfitus.[1] Carminius is known entirely from inscriptions.
In his monograph on Roman naming practices in the Early Empire, Olli Salomies noted that although he was better known as Lucius Calventius Vetus, his sons used the nomen Carminius as their gentilicium, and there is at least one known "Carminius" in Lusitania who may owe his citizenship to this man, which "seems to imply that he was originally a Carminius (Vetus?) and that he was adopted by a L. Calventius."[2]
