Titus Tettienus Serenus
Titus Tettienus Serenus was a Roman senator at the end of the 1st and beginning of the 2nd centuries AD.
Life
The plebeian Roman family with the gentile name Tettienus, pointing to Etruria , most likely came from Arretium, today's Arezzo , according to an inscription. Nothing is known about the beginning of Serenus' career ( Cursus honorum ) . According to another inscription, towards the end of the reign of Emperor Vespasian (69-79) he was governor of the Roman province of Gallia Lugdunensis , which comprised central Gaul and which was named after its capital, Lugdunum (now Lyon ). After this governorship, Tettienus Serenus became, probably in the year 81, together with Gaius Scoedius Natta Pinarianus suffect consul .
In 92 he became a member of the college of priests of the Sodales Augustales Claudiales , which was responsible for the cult of the deified emperor Claudius . He later received another high priesthood: he became pontiff and thus a member of the pontifical college responsible for overseeing all religious matters. Tettienus Serenus probably died in 114 or 115 AD, since his successor among the Sodales Claudiales, Decimus Junius Carus, is known for 115.
His brother was Galeo Tettienus Petronianus , who was a suffect consul a few years before him, in the year 76.
