Roman Governor
A Roman governor was an official either elected or appointed to be the chief administrator of Roman law throughout one or more of the many provinces constituting the Roman Empire. The generic term in Roman legal language was '' Rector provinciae,'' regardless of the specific titles, which also reflects the province's intrinsic and strategic status, and corresponding differences in authority. By the time of the early Empire, two types of provinces existed—senatorial and imperial—and several types of governor would emerge. Only ''proconsuls'' and ''propraetors'' fell under the classification of promagistrate. Duties of the governor The governor was the province's chief judge. He had the sole right to impose capital punishment, and capital cases were normally tried before him. To appeal a governor's decision necessitated travelling to Rome and presenting one's case before either the ''praetor urbanus'', or even the Emperor himself, an expensive, and thus rare, process.

Sextus Cocceius Severianus
Sextus Cocceius Severianus was a Roman senator who flourished during the reign of Antoninus Pius. An unpublished military diploma attests that he was governor of Roman Arabia on 12 August 145; Severianus was promoted to suffect consul in 147, with first Tiberius Licinius Cassius Cassianus then Gaius Popilius Carus Pedo as his colleague. Between 161 and 163 he was Proconsul of Africa. He married Caesonia; their known children include a son, Sextus Cocceius Severianus; Sextus Cocceius Vibianus (flourished c. 204), is a known grandson.Anthony Wagner, ''Pedigree and Progress, Essays in the Genealogical Interpretation of History'', London, Philmore, 1975.

Claudius Sollemnius Pacatianus
Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (; 1 August 10 BC – 13 October AD 54) was the fourth Roman emperor, ruling from AD 41 to 54. A member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, Claudius was born to Drusus and Antonia Minor at Lugdunum in Roman Gaul, where his father was stationed as a military legate. He was the first Roman emperor to be born outside Italy. Nonetheless, Claudius was an Italian of Sabine origins. As he had a limp and slight deafness due to sickness at a young age, he was ostracized by his family and was excluded from public office until his consulship (which was shared with his nephew, Caligula, in 37). Claudius's infirmity probably saved him from the fate of many other nobles during the purges throughout the reigns of Tiberius and Caligula, as potential enemies did not see him as a serious threat. His survival led to him being declared emperor by the Praetorian Guard after Caligula's assassination, at which point he was the last adult male ...

Gaius Furius Sabinus Aquila Timesitheus
Gaius Furius Sabinius Aquila Timesitheus ( Greek: Τιμησίθεος) (AD 190-243) was an officer of the Roman Imperial government in the first half of the 3rd century. Most likely of Oriental-Greek origins, he was a Roman citizen, probably of equestrian rank. He began his career in the Imperial Service as the commander of a cohort of auxiliary infantry and rose to become Praetorian Prefect, the highest office in the Imperial hierarchy, with both civilian and military functions. His official life was spent mainly in fiscal postings and he typified the powerful procuratorial functionaries who came to dominate the Imperial government in the second quarter of the Third Century. Although he was on several occasions appointed to positions that contemporary Administrative Law reserved for officials of senatorial rank, he remained an equestrian until his death; it is possible that he deliberately avoided adlection to the Roman Senate, preferring to exercise power in offices from whic ...

Sextus Furnius Julianus
Sextus is an ancient Roman ''praenomen'' or "first name". Its standard abbreviation is Sex., and the feminine form would be Sexta. It is one of the numeral ''praenomina'', like Quintus ("fifth") and Decimus ("tenth"), and means "sixth". Although it is sometimes thought that these names originally referred to birth order and were then handed down through the family line, they may have also been a reference to the month of birth. Similar names were used among the Sabellians. The ''gens'' name Sextius is a related form.E.T. Salmon, ''Samnium and the Samnites'' (Cambridge University Press, 1967, 2010), pp. 53, 156. Among those named Sextus are: * Sextus Julius Africanus * Sextus Appuleius * Sextus Afranius Burrus * Sextus Julius Caesar * Sextus Aelius Paetus Catus * Sextus of Chaeronea (nephew of Plutarch, he and Sextus Empiricus may be one and the same) * Sextus Empiricus (he and Sextus of Chaeronea may be one and the same) * Sextus Julius Frontinus * Sextus Martinianus * Sextus Ti ...

Lucius Marius Perpetuus
Lucius Marius Perpetuus (fl. late 2nd century to early 3rd century AD) was a Roman military officer and senator who was appointed suffect consul sometime between AD 203 and 214. Biography Marius Perpetuus was the son of Lucius Marius Perpetuus, an equestrian ''procurator'', and the brother of Marius Maximus, the Roman imperial biographer. Although his career is fairly well documented, many of the dates in which he held office are uncertain. Possibly a member of the ''Vigintiviri'', his first attested position was as ''Tribunus laticlavius'' of the Legio IV Scythica, posted in Syria. Standing as an imperial candidate for the office of quaestor, the next magistracy was either plebeian tribune or aedile; if he was not adlected into the praetorship, it is certain that he was a praetor to hold those offices he is attested as holding.Mennen, p. 110 Marius Perpetuus was commissioned as ''Legatus legionis'' of Legio XVI Flavia Firma in Syria-Coele under the governor Lucius Alfenus ...

Quintus Antistius Adventus
Quintus Antistius Adventus (c. 120 AD — after 175 AD) was a Roman politician and general. He commanded a legion, the II Adiutrix in the war against the Parthian Empire (161-166), and was appointed suffect consul around 166. His full name, as attested in two inscriptions from modern Algeria, was Quintus Antistius Adventus Postumius Aquilinus. Olli Salomies opines that his brother was Lucius Antistius Mundicius Burrus, and his nephew was likely Lucius Antistius Burrus, ordinary consul in 181. Where the name elements "Postumus Aquilinus" in Adventus' name came from is something of a mystery: Salomies points out that it is "quite inconceivable that he could have been a Postumus adopted by a Q. Antistius", yet notes it could have come from his mother's side because another inscription attests his mother's name as Antonia Prisca. Career Professor Edward Champlin includes Adventus as a member of "a Cirtan community at Rome" he infers existed there, whose members included: Quintus Lo ...

Publius Julius Geminius Marcianus
Publius Julius Geminius Marcianus was a Roman senator and general. He participated in the Roman–Parthian War of 161–166. Marcianus was appointed suffect consul in either 165 or 166. Life Marcianus was a native of Cirta in North Africa. Debrowa considers that he "was probably the first representative of his family in the Roman senate", making him a ''novus homo''.Dabrowa, ''Legio X Fretensis: A Prosopographical Study of its Officers (I-III c. A.D.)'' (Stuttgart: Franz Steiner, 1993), p. 60 Professor Edward Champlin included him as a member of "a Cirtan community at Rome" he infers existed there, whose members included: Quintus Lollius Urbicus, consul in either 135 or 136; Gaius Arrius Antoninus, consul c. 170; and the rhetorician Fronto. Champlin speculates Marcianus may be the "Marcianus noster" who assisted Fronto in his prosecution of Herodes Atticus.Champlin, ''Fronto and Antonine Rome'' (Cambridge: Harvard University, 1980), pp. 14f The beginning of his senatorial career ...
