List of governors of Africa
The list of governors of Africa contains the names of all known officials who administered this Roman province during the Principate's time .
Instructions for use:
- For clear allocation, the year in which the respective person served as consul is also given, if known. If a governor has held the consulate again after his term of office and his first consulate year cannot be determined, a year in this table column can also be after the proconsulate in Africa - in this case it is a second consulate.
- The terms of office as governor can often only be determined with uncertainty. More detailed explanations of the dating can be found in the individual articles.
- Most first names are abbreviated according to ancient practice, a solution can be found in the article "Roman first name" .

literature
In most cases, the latest literature also provides more correct information, but the older works are still relevant for individual arguments and for tracking the history of research. The same applies to the individual notes in the notes.

Remarks
- ↑ The word "sexto" in an inscription is often interpreted to mean that Bassus was six times praefectus fabrum of the proconsul Silanus, that is, he was in office for six years - for such a long term only the period 29-35 is possible. Bengt E. Thomasson , on the other hand, suggested interpreting the inscription in such a way that the Bassus named in the inscription was praefectus fabrum for the sixth time under Silanus . A regular one-year term of office of this proconsul would best be classified in the year 38–39. See Bengt E. Thomasson : Fasti Africani. Senatorial and knightly officials in the Roman provinces of North Africa from Augustus to Diocletian. Paul Åström, Stockholm 1996, ISBN 91-7042-153-6 , pp. 32-34.
- ↑ Rutilius Gallicus was not a senatorial governor (proconsul), but a legatus Augusti pro praetore , i.e. an emperor's envoy. It is not known whether he administered the province instead of a governor, which would have been removed from the control of the Senate, or whether he only came to Africa for a special mission (the census ). See Bengt E. Thomasson : Fasti Africani. Senatorial and knightly officials in the Roman provinces of North Africa from Augustus to Diocletian. Paul Åström, Stockholm 1996, ISBN 91-7042-153-6 , p. 43 f.
- ↑ To which bearer of this name it was the governor of Africa is disputed. Nonius Asprenas Torquatus (father of Lucius Nonius Calpurnius Torquatus Asprenas ), Lucius Nonius Calpurnius Asprenas and Marcus Salvidenus Asprenas (proconsul of Bithynia et Pontus under Vespasian ) were considered. See Bengt E. Thomasson : Fasti Africani. Senatorial and knightly officials in the Roman provinces of North Africa from Augustus to Diocletian. Paul Åström, Stockholm 1996, ISBN 91-7042-153-6 , p. 48 f.
- ↑ Originally it was assumed that this was Q. Pomponius Marcellus (suffect consul 121), which was later ruled out. Ronald Syme has instead considered that this Marcellus is either M. Vitorius Marcellus (suffect consul 105) or M. Asinius Marcellus (consul 104). See Bengt E. Thomasson : Fasti Africani. Senatorial and knightly officials in the Roman provinces of North Africa from Augustus to Diocletian. Paul Åström, Stockholm 1996, ISBN 91-7042-153-6 , p. 53 f.
- ↑ After many contradicting additions and classifications of the name, Ginette di Vita-Evrard was able to place it in the time of Antoninus Pius : Le proconsul d'Afrique polyonyme IRT 517: une nouvelle tentative d'identification. In: Mélanges de l'Ecole Française de Rome , Volume 93, 1981, pp. 183-226 ( online ).
- ↑ Possibly identical to C. Septimius Severus, proconsul of Africa 174. See Bengt E. Thomasson : Fasti Africani. Senatorial and knightly officials in the Roman provinces of North Africa from Augustus to Diocletian. Paul Åström, Stockholm 1996, ISBN 91-7042-153-6 , p. 100.
- ↑ It was proposed to add the name of Cingius Severus to the inscription ILA 265. From this it was possible to gain an indication that his governorship can be dated to the year 191: Cesare Letta: ILAfr, 265 e il proconsolato d'Africa di C. Cingio Severo. In: Latomus , Vol. 54, 1995, pp. 854-874.

- ↑ The equation with the consul of that year is not certain. See Bengt E. Thomasson : Fasti Africani. Senatorial and knightly officials in the Roman provinces of North Africa from Augustus to Diocletian. Paul Åström, Stockholm 1996, ISBN 91-7042-153-6 , p. 80.
- ↑ Perhaps, but not necessarily, identical to Marius Maximus (see under 213–214 / 216–217).
- ↑ He was given the proconsulate for the year 217-218, but the population of the province protested against him even before he left Rome. Instead, he was awarded the proconsulate of the province of Asia .
- ↑ According to an ostracon in the Gholaia fort , a Pu [...] was governor in Africa in the second year of the reign of two jointly ruling emperors. In the context of the history of the fort, this indicates the reign of Valerian and Gallienus (253–260). Dating René Rebuffat : L'armée romaine à Gholaia .

- ↑ Possibly identical to L. Calventius Vetus C. Carminius, Consul 51. See Bengt E. Thomasson : Fasti Africani. Senatorial and knightly officials in the Roman provinces of North Africa from Augustus to Diocletian. Paul Åström, Stockholm 1996, ISBN 91-7042-153-6 , p. 101 f.
- ↑ Perhaps identical to Q. Pomponius Rufus (Consul 95 and Proconsul 110), Sex. Vettulenus Cerialis (consul between 69 and 79) or with L. Annius Bassus (consul 70). See Bengt E. Thomasson : Fasti Africani. Senatorial and knightly officials in the Roman provinces of North Africa from Augustus to Diocletian. Paul Åström, Stockholm 1996, ISBN 91-7042-153-6 , p. 102.
- ↑ Perhaps identical to L. Cassius Marcellinus (consul in the 180s) or L. Cassius Dio Cocceianus (consul 229, proconsul of Africa around 221). See Bengt E. Thomasson : Fasti Africani.
