Titus Salvius Rufinus Minicius Opimianus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Titus Salvius Rufinus Minicius Opimianus was a Roman politician living in the 2nd century AD .

By military diplomas that are dated, among others, on 10 August 123, there is evidence that Opimianus 123 along with Gnaeus Sentius Aburnianus Suffektkonsul was; the two held this office for four months, from May to August. In 139 he was governor ( proconsul ) of the province of Africa ; this is evident from an (incomplete) inscription.

Opimianus had a grave inscription made for his parents. He was the father of Minicius Opimianus , who was a suffect consul in 155. One of his grandsons was Minicius Opimianus , who was a suffect consul around 186/187.
