Trebius Verus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trebius Verus (his praenomen is not known) was a member of the Roman knighthood ( Eques ) living in the 2nd century AD .

An inscription found at Castlecary shows that Trebius Verus was prefect of the Cohors I Fida Vardullorum civium Romanorum equitata milliaria , which was stationed in the province of Britannia at the time. A military diploma shows that a Verus was in command of the Cohors I Fida Vardullorum milliaria ; possibly the verus of the diploma and Trebius Verus are identical.

Remarks

  1. ↑ The date of the inscription in the EDCS is 142/161, while the RIB dates the inscription to 43/410. According to John Spaul, the missing prenomen is considered typical of the 3rd century.
  2. ↑ John Spaul suspects that Trebius Verus only commanded part of the cohort, since he indicates his rank as prefect. According to the RIB, prefects are rare as commanders of a Cohors milliaria .
  3. ↑ The dating of the military diploma at EDCS is 139/190, while the RIB considers 159 possible. John Spaul dated the diploma on June 24, 159/161. According to Margaret M. Roxan, Eric Birley suggested 159/160 as a dating.
