Publius Petronius Turpilianus was probably a son of Publius Petronius, who was prefect from Egypte from 25 to 20 BC. It is believed that he owed the cognomen Turpilianus to his mother, who would then have been called Turpilia and possibly descended from the poet Turpilius. It is generally assumed that Turpilianus is the father of the Publius Petronius who was consul suffectus in AD 19 and was appointed governor of Syria under Caligula.
In 19 BC. Publius Petronius Turpilianus was appointed triumvir monetalis by Emperor Augustus, the office of mint master, in which he (along with two other triumviri) was responsible for the issue of coins. Turpilianus held office simultaneously with Lucius Aquilius Florus and Marcus Durmius. Several coins bearing Turpilian′s name have been preserved (mainly from 19-18 BC, but possibly also from 17 BC). The coins illustrate how much Turpilianus, in line with the function of the coins at the time, contributed to the propaganda for the still young principate of Augustus. It is plausible that Turpilian received the office as a reward for his father′s successful governorship over Egypt. The office of triumvir monetalis greatly enhanced the social and financial position of the family and was often seen as a springboard to the senatorial position. It is therefore believed that the Petronii family was given senatorial status during this time.
Presumably we must also identify this Turpilianus with the proconsul of Hispania Baetica of 6/5 BC mentioned in an inscription. Nothing more has been said about the further course of Turpilian′s career. The fact that both his sons held the office of consul suffectus under Tiberius, however, illustrates the high esteem in which Petronius′ family had come to stand.
The legend tells that while Rome was besieged by the Sabine king Titus Tatius, Tarpeia, a Vestal Virgin and daughter of the commander of the citadel, Spurius Tarpeius, approached the Sabine camp and offered them entry to the city in exchange for "what they bore on their left arms". Greedy for gold, she had meant their bracelets, but instead the Sabines threw their shields, carried on the left arm, upon her, crushing her to death. Her body was then hurled from (or, according to some accounts, buried at) a steep cliff of the southern summit of the Capitoline Hill. The Sabines were however unable to conquer the Forum, its gates miraculously protected by boiling jets of water created by Janus. The legend was depicted in 89 BC by Sabinus following the Civil Wars as well as on a silver denarius of the Emperor Augustus in approximately 19 BC. Tarpeia would later become a symbol of betrayal and greed in Rome. The cliff from which she was thrown was named the Tarpeian Rock (Rupes Tarpeia), and would become the place of execution for Rome′s most notorious traitors.
