Talk:Roman governors of Britannia
A couple of notes:
- My changes are taken from Anthony R. Birley, The Fasti of Roman Britain (Oxford, 1981). It's an older work, & undoubtedly work has been done on the list of Roman Governors since then (new inscriptions, new arguments, etc.), but I find it a good place to start.
- Britain was a consular province, which means its governors need to be appointed consul before they could govern it. While this rank could be obtained either as a suffect or ordinares, a number of governors were consul ordinares, and also appear in the List of Early Imperial Roman Consuls:
- Quintus Veranius, cos. ord. 49
- Publius Petronius Turpilianus, cos.ord. 61
- Quintus Petillius Cerialis, cos. ord. 83
- Lucius Neratius Marcellus, cos. ord. 129
- Marcus Appius Bradua, cos. ord. 108
- Publius Mummius Sisenna, cos. ord. 133
- Gnaeus Julius Verus, cos. ord. 180
- Marcus Statius Priscus, cos. ord. 159
- Decimus Clodius Albinus, cos. ord. 192
Some of these may already be linked on the consul list. -- llywrch 19:23, 31 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- I have merged the two lists preserving the sequence used in Salway's Roman Britain. adamsan 12:22, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
