Verus (gladiator)
Verus was a well-known gladiator during the reigns of the Emperors Vespasian and Titus in the later part of the 1st century.

Both gladiators were declared victors of the combat, and were awarded their freedom by the Emperor in a unique outcome.

Gnaeus Julius Verus
Gnaeus Julius Verus was Roman senator and general of the mid-2nd century AD. He was suffect consul, and governed several important imperial provinces: Germania Inferior, Britain, and Syria. Life Verus came from Aequum in Dalmatia; this has led some experts (such as Géza Alföldy. Anthony Birley, and Werner Eck) to believe he was the son of Sextus Julius Severus (consul 127), but other experts assert Julius Severus was his uncle. He served as tribune in the legio X Fretensis when Julius Severus was governor of Judaea from 132 to 135. That Verus served as a '' tresvir monetalis'', then '' quaestor Augusti'', and was co-opted as an augur; all suggesting that he was marked out at an early stage for a prominent career. Following his achievement as praetor, Verus was ''legatus legionis'' or commander of Legio XXX ''Ulpia Victrix'' in the 140s, which was stationed at Xanten then part of Germania Inferior. He returned to Rome to serve as prefect of the ''aerarium Saturni''; Mireille C ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
