Marcus Titius Lustricus Bruttianus
Marcus Titius Lustricus Bruttianus was a Roman military, politician and senator at the time of the emperors Domitian , Nerva , Trajan and Hadrian .
When a military diploma was found, it became known that Bruttianus had been a suffect consul with Quintus Pompeius Falco in 108 . During excavations between 2011 and 2014 in Vaison-la-Romaine ( Vasio Vocontiorum ), his hometown, an honorary inscription was found, which tells of his full name and his career. In addition to two legionary commanders, at least one of which belonged to the time of the Trajanic Dacian Wars , Bruttianus had functions in the following provinces: twice in Achaea (as quaestor and as proconsul ), in Africa as proconsular legate , as legatus Augusti pro praetore (governor) in Cilicia , as a legate with the army in Germania inferior and superior and finally with the armies in Judaea and Arabia .
Before he was only known as a senator from a letter from the younger Pliny . In it Pliny describes a trial before the Emperor Trajan, which Bruttianus, as provincial governor, had brought against his comes Montanius Atticinus, who was caught by Bruttianus in numerous outrages. Atticinus put the crown on his atrocities by accusing the person he had betrayed. According to Pliny, the trial ended in Bruttianus' favor, who even increased his personal prestige through the trial. For he could not only claim the testimonium integritatis , the recognition of his integrity, for himself , but also earned the fame of unwavering steadfastness ( constantiae gloria ).
