Quote:It seems that the (equestrian) procurator could sometimes act as the 'emperor's man', even in a senatorial province ...The tension between the (senatorial) legate and the (equestrian) procurator in an imperial province is an interesting one. Everyone must be familiar with how Julius Classicianus (procurator) attempts to blow the whistle on Suetonius Paullinus (legate) after the Boudican revolt. They were both "the emperor's men".
But we digress ...
