Gaius Iulius Erucius Clarus Vibianus
Gaius Iulius Erucius Clarus Vibianus (died 197) was a Roman Empire politician and Roman Senator. He was appointed consul with Quintus Pompeius Sosius Falco in AD 193 under the reign of Commodus.
Vibianus came from an Italian family or from one of the Western provinces. He was the son of Gaius Erucius Clarus, consul in AD 170. He came from the powerful equestrian family of the Erucia and his grandfather Sextus Erucius Clarus was consul in AD 146 and before that City Prefect of Rome. His great-grandfather, who was suffect consul in AD 117, was the brother (possibly half brother) of Gaius Septicius Clarus.
Vibianus survived the purges of Septimus Severus that claimed the lives of fellow consuls Q. Pompeius Sosius Falco Quintus Pompeius Sosius Falco and Marcus Silius Messala.
As a follower of the usurper and Governor of Britain Clodius Albinus, after the defeat and death of Albinus against Septimius Severus in 197, Vibianus was executed.[1]
