Poenius Postumus : ウィキペディア英語版 | Poenius Postumus Poenius Postumus was ''praefectus castrorum'' of the Roman Legion II ''Augusta'', stationed in Britain during the rebellion of Boudica in 61 AD. In the general area of Exeter with his troops, he ignored the call to join the governor, Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, in putting down the rebellion. Hearing of the Roman victory at the Battle of Watling Street, having denied his troops a share in the glory, he fell on his sword.〔Tacitus, ''Annals'' (14.37 )〕 The II ''Augusta'' are known to have been based at Exeter in Devon. The ''praefectus castrorum'' or camp prefect was normally promoted from the ranks, and was third-in-command of a legion's command structure.〔(Discussion on Roman military ranks ) at (Military History Online ), retrieved 29 May 2006〕 In this case, the decision whether to move the troops to help put down the rebellion fell to Postumus, implying that the legate and the senior tribune were unavailable, probably acting as members of Suetonius Paulinus's staff during the campaign on the island of Anglesey, which preceded the revolt.〔Graham Webster (1978), ''Boudica: the British Revolt Against Rome AD 60'' p. 95〕 ==References== 〔
