Gaius Julius Alpinus Classicianus

Gaius Iulius alpinus Classicianus († 65) was procurator of the Roman province of Britannia 61-65 AD

Classicianus was the successor to Catus Decianus, who had to flee after the revolt of Boudicca to Gaul. Classicianus, who was named after Gaul, told Nero concerns that the harsh policy of Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, governor could produce further hostilities against the Romans. Nero posted on the freedmen Polyclitus, who conducted a study on the situation of the province.

Classicianus died in the year 65 AD The remains of his grave Males were excavated in the mid-19th century in London and are now on display in the British Museum. Possibly. there is a relationship between G. Iulius alpinus Classicianus with the Helvetian nobility Iulius alpinus, which is mentioned by Tacitus 69 AD in the context of the turmoil in the Four Emperors year.
