MUCIANUS, LICINIUS

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 954 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MUCIANUS, LICINIUS , Roman general and statesman, lived during the 1st century A.D. His name shows that he had passed by adoption from the Mucian to the Licinian gens. About A.D. 55 he was sent by
Claudius
 , who had become suspicious of his intimacy with Messallina, to Armenia with Domitius
Corbulo
 . Under Nero he regained the imperial favour. After the death of Galba (69), Mucianus and Vespasian (who was at the time in Judaea) both swore allegiance to Otho, but when the civil war broke out Mucianus persuaded Vespasian to take up arms against
Vitellius
 , who had seized the throne. It was agreed that Vespasian should stay behind to settle affairs in the
East
 , while Mucianus made his way through
Asia
 
Minor
  and Thrace to attack
Vitellius
 . He reached Rome the day after the death of Vitellius, and found
Domitian
 , Vespasian's son, at the head of affairs, but until the arrival of Vespasian the real master of Rome was Mucianus. But he never wavered in his allegiance to Vespasian, whose favour he retained in spite of his arrogance. As no mention is made of Mucianus during the reigns of Titus or
Domitian
 , he probably died during the reign of Vespasian. He was a clever writer and historian. He made a collection of the speeches and letters of the Romans of the older republican period, probablyincluding a corpus of proceedings of the senate (Ada senatus), and was the author of a
work
 , chiefly dealing with the natural history and geography of the
East
 , which is often quoted by Pliny as an authority, especially for fabulous statements.
See monograph by L. Brunn (
Leipzig
 , 187o).
