Praetor Urbanus for 69

Do we know the praetor urbanus of 69 or any military actions of that year in which he was involved?<br>
I can't seem to find anything - but I'm sure there must be something somwhere on this position and the man who held it in 69.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

Salve,<br>

<i> Historia</i> 1.47 mentions the <i> praetor urbanus</i>, but not by name and not in connection with military activity. In the passage he calls a meeting of the senate in the absence of both consuls. The successor is named in <i> Historia</i> 4.39 which records the appointment of Iulius Frontinus as <i> praetor urbanus</i> on the kalends of january AD70. It is unclear what military action a <i> praetor urbanus</i> should be involved in. A <i> praetor</i> would have been largely occupied with judicial functions and other duties of a civilian nature rather than leading armies in the field, as in republican times.<br>
