Quintus Gargilius Antiquus
Marcus Paccius Silvanus Quintus Coredius Gallus Gargilius Antiquus was a Roman politician and senator of the 2nd century AD
Antiquus probably came from the province of Africa ; his father may have been Gargilius Antiquus, Imperial Procurator at the time of Emperor Trajan . At first Antiquus was governor of the province of Arabia Petraea (around 116–118 / 119), in 119 he then became a suffect consul . Between 120 and 130 he was governor ( legatus Augusti propraetore ) of the province of Iudaea and then of the province of Syria Palestine, which was newly created after the Bar Kochba uprising . At the end of his career he administered the province of Asia as proconsul around 135 .
