Ampelius of Capitolinus (died 38 BCE) was a Roman officer who served in the Sinai during the 1st century BCE.
As a member of the Order of the Ancients under Gaius Julius Rufio, he used The Administrator as his cryptonym and oversaw all commerce in the peninsula, using the Walls-of-the-Ruler fortess as his base of operations.
Biography
Ampelius originated from Capitolinus in Rome and was trained on the Roman trade routes with the Usipetes and Tencteri, using violence as a means of securing trade. He later came to serve under Rufio as one of his lieutenants and joined the Order of the Ancients.[1]
The local Hidden Ones in Rome, led by Amunet, recorded his actions before sending the intel to the bureau in Sinai. Ampelius was later sent to the peninsula, occupying the Walls-of-the-Ruler fortress and blocking the Way of Horus as he saw fit, and used dismemberment as his main method of discipline and fear mongering.[2]
In 38 BCE, the Hidden Ones sent Maqwat and her partner to observe Ampelius' actions from an old watchower across the Walls-of-the-Ruler, ensuring that he did not leave the fort. When the Hidden Ones' Mentor Bayek of Siwa arrived at the watchtower, Maqwat gave him intel on Ampelius' whereabouts and warned him that since the Roman was dressed like his captains, he would be hard to identify. Bayek eventually discovered and assassinated Ampelius, who with his dying words proclaimed that the Order was eternal.[2]
Trivia
- The name Ampelius is derived from the Greek word αμπελος (ampelos), meaning 'vine'.
- Ampelius is shown wearing an Imperial Gallic helmet which is anachronistic as these were first developed in the 1st century CE. He also wears a wolf pelt, a practice associated with the Velites rather than high-ranking Roman officers.
