Gaius Junius Flavianus
Gaius Iunius Flavianus was a Roman knight of Italian origin and lived in the 2nd century. The remarkable career of G. Junius Flavianus under the emperors Hadrian and Antoninus Pius is known through the inscription fragment of a statue base dedicated to him, the complete text of which can be reconstructed from a manuscript .
G. Iunius Flavianus probably started his career around the year 130 as a tribune in the Legio VII Gemina in Hispania. There he was stationed in León until the end of his military career. He then continued his official career exclusively in the performance of higher, civil administrative activities in the imperial financial administration. At first he was used as a promagister XX hereditatium in the grade of sexagenarius . In this office he was responsible for the collection and administration of inheritance tax under the Procurator ( procurator XX hereditatium ).
Having risen to the rank of centenarii , G. Junius Flavianus was responsible as procurator Alpium maritimarum for the finances of the province of Alpes Maritimae .
The return to the Hispania peninsula followed, where he was promoted to the class of the ducenarii and took over the financial management of the northwestern part of the province of Hispania citerior . His activity as procurator Hispaniae Citerioris per Asturiam et Callaeciam also included the management of the mines there.
Subsequently - as procurator hereditatium he had risen to the higher salary level within the ducenarii - he was in charge of all pending inheritance matters that affected the emperor and the state treasury.
G. Junius Flavianus was then appointed once again as procurator Lugdunensis et Aquitanicae in the financial administration of the provinces of Lugdunensis and Gallia Aquitania .
Returning to Rome , the knight took over the supervision of the Roman state finances as procurator a rationibus . The rank can no longer be precisely determined in this office. At least the last grade within the ducenarii - or more likely that of the higher trecenarii - class, namely that of the chancellery of the imperial a libellis , was reached.
The career of G. Junius Flavianus was completed with the exercise of a praefectus annonae , in which he was responsible for the grain supply of the city of Rome . He thus achieved the praefecturae and thus the highest salary grade.
The statue donated to G. Junius Flavianus by African grain and oil traders in his capacity as praefectus annonae , with the fragment of inscription that has been preserved, also identifies the knight as a member of the Roman priesthood.
