Sentinas Ianuarius
Pater leonum and public freedman of Sentinum.
Biography
of Sentinas Ianuarius
TNMP 186
The membership list of this cult includes two men classified as probable municipal freedmen of Sentinum. Sentin(as) Ianuarius was the high priest pater leonum recorded in Column I, Line 5, and then among the larger group of members was Sentin(as) Valentin(us) in Column II, Line 10. Besides the fact that they have the municipal gentilicium of Sentinum, their identification as ex-slaves of the town is strengthened by the presence of a current municipal slave in Column III, Line 3, Ianuarius, whose entry reads Ianuarius Sent(inatium). In fact, Bormann proposed that this slave could be the son of the pater leonum Sentin(as) Ianuarius, since the two share the same cognomen.
