Lucius Funisulanus Vettonianus

Lucius Funisulanus Vettonianus († approx. 98) was a Roman politician and senator in the 1st century AD.

Vettonianus' career is well handed down by two inscriptions. He began as a military tribune of the legio IIII Scythica , where he took part in the Armenian campaign in 62 under the command of Lucius Junius Caesennius Paetus . This was followed by the bursary in the Roman provinces of Sicilia (Sicily). On returning to Rome, he became prefect of the aerarium Saturni and finally praetor . He was also the curator of via Aemilia and Curator aequarum . Around 78 Vettonianus came to the suffect consulate . This was followed by governorships as legatus Augusti pro praetore in the Balkans ( Dalmatia [Dalmatia] approx. 80/83, Pannonia [Pannonia] approx. 84/85, Moesia superior [Upper Mösia] approx. 85/86). From Emperor Domitian he received high awards for his successes against the Dacians under Decebalus . Finally, around 90, he got to the proconsulate of the province of Africa . He was also sodalis Augustalis (imperial priest) and septemvir epulonum .

Vettonianus' tomb was on via Latina . His son will have been Titus Pomponius Mamilianus Rufus Antistianus Funisulanus Vettonianus , consul in the year 100. Funisulana Vettulla, the wife of Gaius Tettius Africanus ( praefectus Aegypti in the year 82), was probably his daughter.
