Talk:Roman governors of Britannia

A couple of notes: Some of these may already be linked on the consul list. -- llywrch 19:23, 31 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * 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


 * I have merged the two lists preserving the sequence used in Salway's Roman Britain. adamsan 12:22, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
