Aurelius Theodotus was a Roman eques and general who flourished during the earlier part of the third century AD.
He was assigned by the emperor Gallienus to suppress the rebellion of Lucius Mussius Aemilianus, after which he served as praefectus or governor of Roman Egypt; Guido Bastianini dates his tenure from 262 to 263.
[1] The Historia Augusta tells that Theodotus was of Egyptian origin, and that he had a brother named Causisoleus.
Theodotus defeated and captured Aemilianus near Thebes, and sent him to Gallienus who had him executed.
While praefectus, Theodotus also suppressed the revolt of Memor, who had been one of Aemilianus's supporters.
