10)

M. Aponius Saturninus (M. Aponius Tac. hist. I 79; Aponius Saturninus II 85. 96. III 5. .9. 11), consular legate of Moesia (cf. also hist. V 26) in the year 69 CE, because of the siege of the Roxolani he recieved a triumphalis statua from Otho (Tac. hist. I 79), he tried to kill his legion's legate Tettius Iulianus following private disputes (hist. II 85), he hesitated at first to move away from Vitellius (hist. II 96 III 5), <60> but then lead the legio VII Claudiana to Verona himself to protect Antonius Primus (hist. III 9), though he had to flee from Verona to Patavium because of rebelling soldiers (hist. III 10-11). Later, he seems to have been proconsul of Asia according to a Phrygian inscription, Journ. hell. stud. IV 1883, 415, 30 = Americ. journ. archeol. I 1885, 146. <page break 172/173> Furthermore, cf: A. Platorius Nepos Aponius Italicus Manilianus C. Licinius Pollio (CIL V 877). In the rescript from Marcus and Lucius to Apronius Saturninus (frg. Vatic. 168), perhaps Aponius should be read instead of Aponius.
