Gaius Iulius Commodus Orfitianus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A military diploma from AD 157 ( RMD 3, 170 )

Gaius Iulius Commodus Orfitianus was a Roman politician living in the 2nd century AD .

A military diploma dated March 10th, 155 and an inscription prove that Orfitianus was governor ( Legatus Augusti pro praetore ) of the province of Thracia around 154/155 . Further military diplomas, e.g. Some of them are dated September 28, 157, prove that he was a suffect consul in 157 together with Gaius Caelius Secundus ; the two consuls presumably took office on July 1st of that year.

After his consulate, Orfitianus was 161 curator aedium sacrarum . Two inscriptions prove that he was governor of the province of Syria Palestine around 164/167 . Further inscriptions show that he was governor of the province of Pannonia superior around 168/170 .
