Lucius Aemilius Carus

Lucius Aemilius Carus (full name form Lucius Aemilius Luci filius Camilia Carus ) was a Roman politician living in the 2nd century AD . Individual stations of his career, which he completed in the first half of the 2nd century, are known through an inscription. In a military diploma and in the inscription, his name is given as Lucius Aemilius Karus .

Carus was first as Decemvir Stlitibus Iudicandis judge at a civil court. He then served as a tribune , probably in the mid-120s, first in Legio VIIII Hispana and then in Legio VIII Augusta . This was followed by civil offices: he was (in this order) quaestor , tribune ( tribunus plebis ) and praetor .

As the next step in his career, he took command of the Legio XXX Ulpia Victrix as Legatus legionis . This was followed by other administrative offices. First he was curator viae Flaminiae and then governor ( Legatus Augusti pro praetore ) in the province of Arabia , where he is attested by an inscription. A military diploma proves that he exercised this office 142.

In 144 he became a suffect consul with Quintus Egrilius Plarianus ; this is evidenced by diplomas dated March 19, 144. After his consulate he was still censitor provinciae Lugdunensis and governor in the province of Cappadocia .

Carus was enrolled in the Camilia tribe .
