Titus Flavius Postumius Titianus
Titus Flavius Postumius Titianus was a Roman politician in the 3rd and 4th centuries.
He came from a senatorial family during the Roman Empire and was the great-grandson of the speaker and politician Marcus Postumius Festus , who in 160 was the first of his family to become consul. His relative Postumius Festus Titianus , also great-grandson of Marcus Postumius Festus, had made it to the consulate.
Titus Flavius Postumius Titianus himself had a steep political career. He was both quaestor and praetor candidate of the emperor ( candidatus principis ), which indicates his close relationship with the imperial court. He was successively Corrector Campaniae , Corrector Italiae Transpadanae , Curator coloniarum Lugdunensium and XIIvir urbis Romae , then Consularis aquarum et Miniciae and as such responsible for the maintenance of the aqueducts and the grain supply of Rome with proconsular authority .
After becoming a suffect consul between 285 and 290 , he took over the governorship of the province of Africa as proconsul in 295 . Finally in 301 he became consul for the second time, but this time full consul together with Virius Nepotianus . The highlight of his career was his appointment as city prefect of Rome ( praefectus urbi ) in 305 .
In addition to his secular offices, he also had religious duties to perform. So he was pontifex dei solis (priest of the sun god Sol ) and augur .
