Random information on the term “the Zealot”:
Tiberius Claudius Narcissus (died c. 54 AD) was one of the freedmen who formed the core of the imperial court under the Roman emperor Claudius. He is described as praepositus ab epistulis (in charge of correspondence).
He reportedly had great influence over the emperor and amassed a great deal of money. He is said to have conspired with Claudius’s third wife Valeria Messalina to manipulate him into having several men executed, although this is unproven. However, the sources admit that Narcissus, as Claudius’ own former slave, was extremely loyal to the emperor, and so entrusted with more responsibility than the others.
In 43, during the preparations for the Roman conquest of Britain, he headed off a mutiny by addressing the troops. Seeing a former slave in their commander’s position, they cried “Io Saturnalia!” (Saturnalia was a Roman festival when slaves and masters switched places for the day) and the mutiny ended. It was through his influence that the future emperor Vespasian was appointed legate of the Legio II Augusta in Germania.
