Tiberius Manilius Fuscus
Tiberius Manilius Fuscus was a Roman politician and senator of the late 2nd and early 3rd centuries AD
Fuscus probably came from Italy or from one of the western provinces (Spain?), Where Manilii / Manlii with the prenomen Tiberius were widespread. His wife was Flavia Pollitta.
From 191 to around 193 Fuscus was a legate of legio XIII Gemina in Dacia . After that, in 194, after the division of Syria into two provinces, he became the first governor of the newly created province of Syria Phoenice . Perhaps Fuscus was an absent suffect consul during his governorship ( in absentia , ca.196). Around 203 he became magister of the Quindecimviri sacris faciundis . In this function, Fuscus initiated the secular celebration in 204 . It was followed by the proconsulate of Asia , which may fall in the year 209/210 (or 212/213). Finally, in 225, Fuscus became consul for the second time.
Fuscus had proven himself a staunch supporter of Septimius Severus during the Civil War . That he was in particularly high esteem is also evident from the fact that he was magister of the Quindecimviri and, in this high priesthood, asked the Senate to celebrate the Saecularia .
