Life

Originally a Berber[1] prince, Lusius Quietus was the son of a tribal lord from unconquered Morocco. Berbers are the indigenous peoples of North Africa west of the Nile Valley. Prince, from the Latin root Princeps, is a general term for a Monarch, for a member of a monarch's or former monarch's family and is a Morocco (المغرب "al-Maghrib" officially the Kingdom of Morocco (المملكة المغربية is a country located in North Africa Lusius' father and his warriors had supported the Roman legions in their attempt to subdue Mauretania Tingitana (northern Morocco) during Aedemon's revolt in 46. Mauretania Tingitana was a Roman province located in northwestern Africa coinciding roughly with the northern part of modern Morocco and spanish cities of Ceuta For the Moth Genus, see Aedemon (moth.

This useful ally, on a notoriously difficult frontier, was honoured with the gift of Roman citizenship. Lusius served as an auxiliary officer in the Roman cavalry, recruiting from free tribes of Morocco.

Titus Flavius Domitianus (24 October 51 &ndash 18 September 96 commonly known as Domitian, was a Roman Emperor who reigned from 14 September 81 until his death Since practically every officer of calibre had been mistreated by this paranoid ruler this commended rather than harmed Lusius in the eyes of his brother officers. In due course it was one of these, a legionary commander from Hispania Baetica called Trajan, who occupied the throne. Hispania Baetica was one of three Imperial Roman provinces in Hispania, (modern Iberia) Marcus Ulpius Nerva Traianus, commonly known as Trajan ( September 18 53 &ndash August 9 117) was a Roman Emperor who Lusius served as Trajan's cavalry commander during the tough Dacian campaigns (his barehead Berber cavalry can be seen on Trajan's column in Rome). The Dacian language was spoken by the ancient inhabitants of Dacia. Berbers are the indigenous peoples of North Africa west of the Nile Valley.

According to Heinrich Graetz, only the quick action of Hadrian, supported by Trajan's widow, prevented Lucius being acclamed emperor on the death of Trajan[2]. Heinrich Graetz ( October 31, 1817 - September 7, 1891) was amongst the first historians to write a comprehensive history of the Jewish Publius Aelius Hadrianus (January 24 76 &ndash July 10 138 as emperor Imperator Caesar Divi Traiani filius Traianus Hadrianus Augustus, and Divus Hadrianus after Marcus Ulpius Nerva Traianus, commonly known as Trajan ( September 18 53 &ndash August 9 117) was a Roman Emperor who Marcus Ulpius Nerva Traianus, commonly known as Trajan ( September 18 53 &ndash August 9 117) was a Roman Emperor who Hadrian had the infantry under Lusius' command quietly disarmed, but the North African cavalry proudly refused to surrender their arms and abandon their heroic commander.

Kitos War

During the emperor's Parthian campaign the numerous Jewish inhabitants of Babylonia revolted, and were relentlessly suppressed by Quietus, who was rewarded by being appointed governor of Iudaea, also shocked by revolts.

The confused Talmudic accounts imply that a cruel persecution took place under Quietus which exposed Jewish virgins to dishonor, while the "Hegemon" with whom R. Gamaliel came into official relations was the governor of Judea himself.

The sources, indeed, appear to indicate Marcius Turbo as this general, but they more probably refer to Quietus, and the tradition contains a reminiscence of the fact that Lusius Quietus was recalled by Hadrian and executed shortly afterward as a possible rival. Quintus Marcius Turbo Fronto Publicius Severus, commonly referred to as Marcius Turbo, was a Roman General during the 2nd century who served Publius Aelius Hadrianus (January 24 76 &ndash July 10 138 as emperor Imperator Caesar Divi Traiani filius Traianus Hadrianus Augustus, and Divus Hadrianus after An inscription found in Palestine seems originally to have contained the name Quietus, which was perhaps later erased at the command of Hadrian.

African Connection

Quietus has been cited in Pan-African, and afrocentric literature as being a "black Roman". Afrocentrism or Afrocentricity is a World view that emphasizes the importance of African people in culture philosophy and history The basis for this is the fallacy that "all" Africans were black; however evidence suggests that Mauretania was in fact a Berber, as opposed to a sub-Saharan African, kingdom. Berbers are the indigenous peoples of North Africa west of the Nile Valley. In turn the name Lusius shares some resemblence to the name Lusus, legendary founder of Lusitania.
