Marcus Sempronius Liberalis

His first attested appointment was his commission as commander of the ala I Gallorum Tauriana victrix in 129/130, which at the time was stationed in Mauretania Tingitana;[1] this may have been a step in his tres militiae.

His next known appointment was as praefectus or governor of Rhaetia from at least 30 October 139 to at least as late as November or December 140.

[2] His last known appointment was one of the most senior posts of an equestrian career, praefectus or governor of Roman Egypt from 154 to 159.

[3] It was important because Egypt provided a large share of the grain needed to feed Rome.

Excerpts from his assizes as he held legal hearings around Egypt have survived in a papyrus at the University of Michigan.
