Reference excerpt

Tiberius Claudius Secundinus Lucius Statius Macedo was a Roman eques who held a number of appointments in the second century AD, the best known of which was praefectus annonae, or overseer of the food supply of Rome. Macedo is known only from a series of inscriptions. His public career is recorded in two inscriptions from Aquileia, which is considered his home town. His first set of appointments were military, typical of the tres militiae. His earliest recorded post was primipilus of Legio IV Flavia Felix, then stationed in Moesia Superior. Macedo returned to Rome where he held a series of commissions: first military tribune of cohort I of the vigiles; then tribune of cohort XI of the Cohortes urbanae; followed by tribune of cohort VIIII of the Praetorian Guard; and then primipilus a second time. Macedo was then commissioned praefectus or commander of Legio II Traiana Fortis, stationed in Roman Egypt. Because Egypt was governed by an eques, and a commander of a legion would need to be of a lower rank than the governor, this prevented senators from being commissioned commanders of any legion in that province. Once he stepped down from command of Legio II Trajana, Macedo was appointed to a series of administrative posts. The first one was procurator of the vicesima hereditatium. This was followed with procurator of the imperial estates in Gallia Lugdunensis and Gallia Aquitania. Macedo then returned to Rome to serve as a rationibus; Henriette Pavis D'Escurac believes he immediately succeeded Gaius Julius Celsus in this post, and dates it at some point after 144. Following this, Macedo was promoted to praefectus annonae; according to D'Escurac he succeeded Marcus Petronius Honoratus who was promoted to praefectus of Egypt in 147. After his tenure as praefectus annonae ended, his life is a blank.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Tiberius Claudius Secundinus Lucius Statius Macedo

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Tiberius Claudius Secundinus Lucius Statius Macedo claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Tiberius Claudius Secundinus Lucius Statius Macedo before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Tiberius Claudius Secundinus Lucius Statius Macedo ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Tiberius Claudius Secundinus Lucius Statius Macedo

In research: Tiberius Claudius Secundinus Lucius Statius Macedo appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Tiberius Claudius Secundinus Lucius Statius Macedo in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Tiberius Claudius Secundinus Lucius Statius Macedo is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2nd-century Romans, Ancient Roman equites, Claudii, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Tiberius Claudius Secundinus Lucius Statius Macedo outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
