Career

  • Legatus (Lieutenant) 42 Asia (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Named as a Legate on coins of Lampsacus (a settlement dated in 42-41 by Grant, From Imperium to Auctoritas 244-249, who suggests that Turius was also the organizer of the colonies of Alexandria Troas and Parium; see however, Magie, Roman Rule in Asia Minor 1268, notes 34 and 35). If Grant's suggestion is correct Turius might be the governor of Asia after Philippi for whom Dio (48.24.3; cf. 48.26.3) mistakenly substitutes the name of Plancus (see 4 1, and 39, Promagistrates, on Plancus). (Broughton MRR II)
    • Termed Leg(atus) on coins of Alexandria Troas. Grant suggests that he held office in Asia under Antony in 42-41 (From Imperium to Auctoritas 246f.). See Magie, Roman Rule in Asia Minor 2.1587. (Broughton MRR II Appendix 2)
  • Promagistrate 41 Asia (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • See 42, Legates. (Broughton MRR II)
  • Legatus (Lieutenant) 40 Asia (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • See 42, and 41, Legates. Possibly the Antonian commander in Asia who was driven out by the Parthians (a Plancus is named in Dio 48. 24.3, and 26.3, but cf. above, Promagistrates). (Broughton MRR II)
