Julius Indus


Julius Indus was a nobleman of the Gaulish Treveri tribe. In 21 AD he helped the Romans put down a rebellion of the Treveri and Aedui. He had a personal vendetta with one of the leaders in the revolt, Julius Florus. So, at the Ardennes forest when Indus had the chance to kill Florus, he did so with no hesitation. His regiment may have been involved in the Roman invasion of Britain, and was certainly posted at Corinum in the mid-to-late 1st century. His daughter, Julia Pacata, married the procurator of Roman Britain, Gaius Julius Alpinus Classicianus, and buried him in London in 65 CE.
