Titus Avidius Quietus (Consul 93)

Titus Avidius Quietus was a Roman politician living in the 2nd century AD .

Under Domitian (81–96) Quietus was governor ( proconsul ) in the province of Achaea . By military diplomas that are dated to the 10th of August 93, there is evidence that he along with 93 Sextus Lusianus Proculus Suffektkonsul was. Further diplomas, dated February 20, 98, prove that he was 98 governor of the province of Britannia ; presumably he was sent there in the course of 97.

His son of the same name, Titus Avidius Quietus , was a suffect consul in 111.

Remarks

1. ↑ The soldiers who were granted Roman citizenship through the diplomas had been dismissed from military service by his predecessor, Publius Metilius Nepos , before the end of his term of office ( dimissis honesta missione a Metilio Nepote ). At the time the certificates were issued, Quietus had already taken over as his successor ( in Britannia sub Tito Avidio Quieto ).
