Manius Laberius Maximus
Manius Laberius Maximus was a Roman politician and senator .
Laberius was the son of a prefect of Egypt , Lucius Laberius Maximus . In 89 Laberius became a suffect consul . From 100/101 to 101/102 he was a legate of the Roman province of Moesia inferior (Lower Moesia ). The army column that crossed the Danube at Dierna during the First Dacer War and marched to Tibiscum was under Laberius' command . A slave of Laberius, Callidromus, was captured by the Sarmatians in 101/102 and was given as a gift to the Parthian king Pakoros II by the Dacer king Decebalus . Laberius succeeded in 102 in conquering the old Dacian royal castle west of the Rotenturm Pass and in capturing Decebalus' sister. For this Laberius was awarded the highest honors, and he became consul for the second time in 103, together with Trajan . A military diploma dated January 19, 103 proves that he was consul with Quintus Glitius Atilius Agricola (Agricola became consul after Trajan's resignation).
Later, perhaps not until after 113, Laberius came into conflict with Trajan or Lucius Licinius Sura and was banished to an island by the Senate. Although at the beginning of Hadrian's reign the Praetorian Prefect Publius Acilius Attianus demanded his execution, Hadrian left him alive.
