Titus Aninius Sextius Florentinus
Titus Aninius Sextius Florentinus († after 130 AD) was a Roman senator of the early 2nd century AD.
Florentinus came from the Papiria tribe , which was widespread in Italy. The stations of his senatorial career ( cursus honorum ) are known from his epitaph . He was initially tresvir monetalis , so he held one of the most prestigious offices in the Vigintivirat , with which the career of a senator began. He was then a military tribune in the legio I Minervia and quaestor in the province of Achaea . In Rome he then held the tribunate of the people and later became a legate of the legio VIIII Hispana , perhaps in Britain , but probably already in mainland Europe, to which the legion had been transferred around the year 121. His last two offices were the governorships of the province of Gallia Narbonensis (as Proconsul ) and the province of Arabia Petraea (as Legatus Augusti pro praetore ); the latter he took up in 127 AD.
Florentinus erected an imposing tomb in Petra in 130 , which was previously regarded as a tomb of the Nabatean kings. The inscription of Florentinus found there revised this view.
