Sextus Subrius Dexter

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sextus Subrius Dexter was a member of the Roman knighthood ( Eques ) living in the 1st century AD .

Dexter is mentioned by Tacitus in the Historiae ; from this it emerges that around 69 he was initially on the side of Galba as a tribune of the Praetorians . In the turmoil of the Four Emperor's year he later sided with Vespasian . Two inscriptions on milestones found at Macomer and dated 74, prove that he was 74 governor ( procurator et praefectus ) in the province of Sardinia ; this post was associated with an annual income of 200,000 sesterces .

He was probably the brother of Subrius Flavus . Part of his name is listed in an inscription found at Patavium ; possibly there was therefore a family connection to the north of Italy.
