Decimus Valerius Asiaticus (35 – after 69 AD) was a Roman Senator who served as a Legatus of Gallia Belgica.
[1] He was the son of the Roman Senator, consul Decimus Valerius Asiaticus[2] and Lollia Saturnina.
The father of Asiaticus was of Allobrogian origin[4] and his political career was a contemporary of the rule of the Roman emperors Tiberius, Caligula and Claudius.
[13] In early 69 when Aulus Vitellius became Roman emperor, he was finding governors and commanders in the provinces as supporters for his emperorship who were genuinely enthusiastic.
[13] The alliance with Asiaticus and Vitellius was perhaps an attempt to reconcile the communities in Gaul with the Roman state.
