Publius Baebius Italicus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Publius Baebius Italicus was a Roman military and 1st century politician.

Italicus came from northern Italy or Carnusium . Italicus became tribune of the people under Emperor Vespasian . Italicus was honored by Emperor Domitian for his services in the Chatten War . From 84/85 to 86/87 he was governor of the province of Lycia et Pamphylia . Also under Domitian, he attained the rank of suffect consul in 90 . Italicus was perhaps the author of the Iliad Latina , created under Nero , of which only the Cognomen Italicus is known.

Publius Baebius Italicus or his family may have adopted and raised the Cheruscan Italicus, son of Flavus and nephew of Arminius , on which his success during the Chat Wars could be based. Italicus became king of the Cherusci in AD 47.
