Titus Vibius Varus was a Roman senator who was ordinary consul in AD 134 as the colleague of Lucius Julius Ursus Servianus, the brother-in-law of the emperor Hadrian. [1] He is known from inscriptions and the Digest (XXII, 5,3,1); he is also attested by a military diploma, [2] which shows, that he was still in office on April 2, together with Titus Haterius Nepos as his colleague. [3]
Bernard Rémy identifies Varus as the son of the homonymous suffect consul in 115. Rémy also suggests that their family came from Brixia in Istria, or Region X of Italy. [3] In his monograph on naming practices in the early Roman Empire, Olli Salomies writes that Varus was the father of Titus Clodius Vibius Varus, ordinary consul of 160. Salomies also suggests that the gentilicum Clodius and the presence of the uncommon praenomen Titus may indicate Varus the elder was married to a Clodia, or a female member of the gens Clodius. [4]
Vibius Varus is known to have held only one other office, governor of the imperial province of Cilicia; Werner Eck dates his tenure in Cilicia from the year 130 to 133. [5]
Gaius Bruttius Praesens Lucius Fulvius Rusticus was an important Roman senator of the reigns of the emperors Trajan, Hadrian and Antoninus Pius. A friend of Pliny the Younger and Hadrian, he was twice consul, governed provinces, commanded armies and ended his career as Urban prefect of Rome. Bruttius’ life and career left few coherent traces in the literary record, but a number of inscriptions, including his complete cursus honorum, fills out the picture considerably.
The gens Vibia was a plebeian family at ancient Rome. Although individuals named Vibius appear in history during the time of the Second Punic War, no members of this gens are found at Rome until the final century of the Republic. The first of the Vibii to obtain the consulship was Gaius Vibius Pansa in 43 BC, and from then until imperial times the Vibii regularly filled the highest offices of the Roman state. The emperors Trebonianus Gallus and Volusianus each claimed descent from the family.

Vol[usius Torquatus?] Vestinus, or Titus Sextius ... M. Vibius Qui[etus?] Secundus L. Vol[usius Torquatus?] Vestinus.

Priscinus is known only through surviving inscriptions.

He was suffect consul for the nundinium April-June 138 as the colleague of Marcus Vindius Verus; according to Ronald Syme, Clemens is the earliest known consul to hold the fasces in absentia. Although he is known mostly through inscriptions, his life provides examples of how patronage operated during contemporary Rome.
