Ordo equester: true
Ordo equester details: vir perfectissimus
Provincial Governor: true
Provincial Governor: praeses provinciae Moesiae Inferioris (284-302 AD?)
Praetorian rank: true
Observations: This is the first attestation in Moesia Inferior of a governor of the equestrian order (he occupied this position probably during the reign of Diocletian, before the province was divided into Moesia Secunda and Scythia). The title praeses suggests that he was in charge of the civic administration, and not of the military administration, which was in the responsibility of a dux.
