Pomponius Januarianus
Biography
Originally a member of the Equestrian order, Januarianus served as the Praefectus Aegypti from 282 to 284 under the emperor Numerian.[1] He transferred his loyalty to the incoming emperor Diocletian, who rewarded him with advancement into high office.[2] Sometime between 284 and 289, Januarianus was adlected into the Roman senate, and served as Praetorian prefect to Diocletian at some point.[3]
In 288 Januarianus was granted the office of consul posterior as the colleague of the emperor Maximian. Either during his time as consul or immediately after his replacement by a suffect consul, he was appointed the Praefectus Urbi of Rome, a position he held from 27 February 288 until sometime in AD 289.[4]
