List of the governors of Raetia

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of governors of the Roman province of Raetia can be reconstructed on the basis of inscriptions and mentions in ancient literature. It contains all previously known governors of the province.

The province of Raetia was initially administered by a presidential procurator who was also head of the Raetian army . The headquarters of the Raetian Army was in Augusta Vindelicum ( Augsburg ). The city developed after the abandonment of an early legionary camp at the latest in AD 16. Even after the administrative reform initiated by Emperor Diocletian (284–305), which resulted in the division of Raetia, Augsburg remained the administrative seat of the province of Raetia secunda and the seat of the army administration of both Raetian subregions, which - as the Notitia Dignitatum informs - the Dux provinciae Raetiae primae et secundae were subordinate.

The following high commanders are known by name from military diplomas and other inscriptions. The demonstrably known year or the period in which they were named as Raetian procurators or praetors is shown in brackets :

Antoninian des Gallienus , minted around 260. On the lapel the image of a stork, the heraldic animal of Leg (io) III Ital (ica) P (ia) F (idelis)

From 179 AD the commander of the Regensburg Legio III Italica , a Legatus legionis from the senatorial class , was also governor of the province of Raetia. His official title was Legatus Augusti pro praetore provinciae Raetiae . As a rule, he stayed in this position for one to two years. In addition to Augsburg, the legate will often have stayed in the main camp of the legion.

  • Marcus Helvius Clemens Dextrianus (until approx. 181 AD)
  • Quintus Spicius Cerialis (c. 181 to c. 184 AD)
  • C. Caerellius Sabinus (from approx. 184 AD)
  • App. Claudius Lateranus (before 190)
  • P. Porcius Optatus Flamma (around 197)
  • Gaius Iulius Avitus Alexianus (196/197) (husband of Julia Maesa , he erected an altar in Augusta Vindelicorum )
  • A. Terentius Pudens Uttedianus (between 198 and 211)
  • Gaius Octavius ​​Appius Suetrius Sabinus (213, term of office 3 months)
  • [...] Dionysius (under Elagabal)

There are hardly any reliable documents and information about the command structures and the military and civil administration in Raetia during the late Roman rule.

  • Aurelius Mucianus (late 3rd / early 4th century)
  • Valerius Venustus (late 3rd / early 4th century)
