This talk is about three works by Prof. Dr. Anthony Álvarez Melero that are currently in progress. The first deals with the figure of Voconius Romanus, a friend of Pliny the Younger, and the reasons that did not lead him to join the Senate in Trajan's time, between his refusal of honours and his support for a rival of the emperor. The second focuses on the interpretation of a word engraved on a lost epitaph in Rome, "Matrona": is it an anthroponym or a noun? Finally, a last work, on a Hispanic senator whose onomastics might lead us to consider that he was from Gades. Suggestions or new incoming ideas are welcome.
