Lusius Quietus

As both a general and a highly acclaimed commander, he was notably one of the most accomplished Berber statesmen in ancient Roman history.

Originally a Berber[2] prince, Lusius' father and his warriors had supported the Roman legions in their attempt to subdue Mauretania Tingitana (northern modern-day Morocco) during Aedemon's revolt in 40.

His father's service to Rome, on a notoriously difficult frontier, was honoured with the gift of Roman citizenship for him and his family.

He next served with the emperor during his campaign in Parthia during which he led a brilliant rearguard action, which allowed the tactical withdrawal of troops and saved them from destruction.

The Diaspora Revolt, a series of major uprisings by diasporic Jews, occurred in 115–117 in Cyrene (Cyrenaica), Cyprus, Mesopotamia, and Egypt.
