  1. Mucianus

    for the Christian saint Mucian Gaius Licinius Mucianus fl. 1st century AD was a general , statesman and writer of ancient Rome . His name shows that he had passed by adoption from the gens Mucia gens Mucia to the Licinia gens gens Licinia . He was sent by Claudius to Armenia with Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo . Under Nero he is recorded as suffect consul ca. 65. At the time of the outbreak of the Jewish revolt in 66 AD, Mucianus was serving as governor of Syria , a post he still held during the Year of Four Emperors 69 . He failed to put down the Jewish revolt and Vespasian was sent to replace him. After the death of Galba 69 , Mucianus and Vespasian who was at the time in Iudaea both swore allegiance to Otho , but when the civil war broke out Mucianus persuaded Vespasian to take up arms against Vitellius , who had seized the imperial throne. It was agreed that Vespasian should stay behind to settle affairs in the East, while Mucianus made his way through Asia Minor and Thrace to attack Vitellius. He reached Rome the day after the death of Vitellius, and found Domitian , Vespasian s son, at the head of affairs, but until the arrival of Vespasian the real master of Rome was Mucianus who never wavered in his allegiance to Vespasian, whose favour he retained in spite of his arrogance. He is mentioned as suffect consul in 70 and 72. As no mention is made of Mucianus during the reigns of Titus or Domitian, he probably died during the reign of Vespasian. He was a clever writer and historian. He made a collection of the speeches and letters of the Romans of the older Roman Republic republican period, probably including a text corpus corpus of proceedings of the senate res gesta senatus , and was the author of a memoir, chiefly dealing with the natural history and geography of the East, which is often quoted by Pliny the Elder Pliny as source of miraculous occurrences.
