Tiberius Claudius Livianus

His full name, as attested in an inscription found in Rome, is Tiberius Julius Aquilinus Castricius Saturninus Claudius Livianus.

[1] Ronald Syme argues that Livianus came from Sidyma in Lycia, "where his presumed parent made a dedication to Claudius Caesar.

The subject of one epigram from book IX, whose publication is dated to the year 94, is the beauty of twin boys, Hierus and Asillus;[3] Surviving inscription inform us that they were his slaves.

Otherwise, the earliest mention is when Trajan appointed Livinianus praetorian prefect in 101, to aid in the prosecution of the Dacian War;[4] the following year Livianus and Lucius Licinius Sura were entrusted on a mission to negotiate peace with the Dacian king, Decebalus, "but nothing was accomplished, since Decebalus did not dare to meet them.

His tombstone, wherein he is described as amico optimo ("best of friends"), has been recovered at Rome; this language suggests he died without children.
