Gaius Antius Aulus Julius Quadratus
Gaius Antius Aulus Julius Quadratus (fl. 1st and 2nd centuries) was a Roman senator who was appointed consul twice, in AD 94 and then in AD 105.
Biography
Probably born in the early 50s, Julius Quadratus was the son of Aulus, and a wealthy patron of the city of Pergamum.[1] Adlected inter praetorios (or with a praetorian rank) into the Senate by the emperor Vespasian sometime during the 70s,[2] he was appointed legatus Augusti (or imperial legate) to the cities of Galatia, Paphlagonia, Cappadocia, Armenia Minor, Lycaonia and Phrygia from AD 81 to 84.[1] He was appointed Suffect consul in AD 94, following which he was appointed Legatus Augusti pro praetore of the province of Syria, where he was stationed from AD 100 to 104.[3]
As a reward for his long service he was given a second consulship, with his election as ordinary consul in AD 105. He was finally appointed Roman governor of Asia in AD 109/110. He was honored with numerous inscriptions in his city of Pergamum, where he established regular games in honor of the emperor Trajan as well as the god Jupiter Amicalis.[1]
