Decimus Junius Novius Priscus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Decimus Iunius Novius Priscus was a Roman politician living in the 1st century AD .

By military diplomas has been proven that Priscus in 78 with Lucius Commodus Ceionius ordinary consul was. Another diploma proves that he was 80 governor of the province of Germania inferior . The diplomas only name him Decimus Novius Priscus, while an inscription from Messene also attests to his gentile name, Junius .
