Home > Quintus Veranius

He was consul in AD 49 and during the 30s had campaigned successfully against the hill tribes of Asia Minor.

He became governor of Roman Britain in AD 57, appointed by Emperor Nero to reverse Claudius' earlier policy of maintaining the existing borders. He arrived with a brief to conquer the rest of Wales. There is little concrete record of his acheivements but it is likely that he successfully began the reduction of the Silures tribe who had caused Rome great difficulty under earlier governors. He died soon after his appointment however and was replaced by Gaius Suetonius Paulinus. In his will, Veranius said he would have needed three more years to fulfil his task in Britain but the speed with which Paulinus took Wales indicates that the bulk of the work was already done
