Lucius Dasumius Tullius Tuscus

Lucius Dasumius Tullius Tuscus (full name form Lucius Dasumius Publi filius Stellatina Tullius Tuscus ) was a Roman politician living in the 2nd century AD . In the military diplomas and in an inscription his name is given as Lucius Tullius Tuscus , in the Fasti Ostienses as Lucius Dasumius Tuscus .

Individual stations of his career are known through an inscription, which in the inscription as cursus inversus , i. H. is given in descending order. Tuscus was initially triumvir auro argento aere flando feriundo . He then became a tribune in the Legio IIII Flavia . This was followed by the offices of a quaestor ( quaestor Imperatoris Antonini Augusti Pii ), a legate in the province of Africa , a tribune ( tribunus plebis ) and a praetor . Afterwards he became prefect of the Aerarium Saturni ; this was his last post before the consulate .

Military diplomas prove that Tuscus 152 was a consul suffect together with P. Sufenas (Verus?) ; his name is also partially preserved in the Fasti Ostienses. After the consulate he became governor ( Legatus Augusti pro praetore ) of the provinces Germania superior and Pannonia superior (presumably in that order). Based on an inscription, it is assumed that he was governor in Pannonia superior around 162/166. This was followed by the office of curator operum publicorum . As comes Augusti , he probably accompanied Marcus Aurelius during the Marcomannic Wars .

Tuscus held various priesthoods; he was Augur and sodalis Hadrianalis and sodalis Antoninianus . He was enrolled in the tribe of Stellatina . The father of Tuscus was probably Publius Dasumius Rusticus ; Marcus Dasumius Tullius Varro was probably his son.
