Classicianus
Classicianus. Procurator (chief financial administrator) of Britain ad 60–1. His origins and early career are unknown. His name suggests Gallic antecedents, like those of his wife, who was from Trier. He became procurator of Britain in the aftermath of the Boudiccan revolt and was instrumental in having the victorious governor Suetonius Paullinus recalled before the latter's military policies could do further fiscal damage. Much of what we know of Classicianus derives from the tombstone erected by his wife, parts of which were reused in late Roman towers added to the walls of London; clearly he died in office.
