Home > Gnaeus Julius Verus

He was legate of Legio XXX Ulpia Victrix in Germania Inferior and after being consul c. 151 he became governor of the province.

He was sent to Britain as governor around 155 with troops from Germany, probably to put down a serious revolt or at least reinforce the remnants of the troops who had. The revolt had been led by the Brigantes tribe and had resulted in the abandonment of the Antonine Wall and a possible slaughter at the fort at Newstead .

Verus stripped the Brigantes of much of their territory, possibly a build new civitas or to be donated to the emperor. He was replaced in 158
