Minicius Fundanus: a personality to rediscover
The paper aims to examine the career of an imperial official who lived between the 1st and 2nd centuries CE: Minicius Fundanus. He is known for his epistolary exchanges with Pliny the Second and Plutarch, but he might have also written literary and philosophical works (Plin. Ep. VII 12). Fundanus was also the addressee of Hadrian’s well-known rescript concerning the governmental attitude to be taken toward Christians (Justin. I Apol. 68). Many scholars have analyzed Hadrian’s provisions concerning Christianity; however, Fundanus’ reaction to the rescript has never been sufficiently examined. This prosopographical study of his network of acquaintances and philological analysis of the works describing him could help further delineate the politicoreligious situation in the Near East in the first two imperial centuries. |
