Hiberus

Hiberius (fl. 1st century AD) was an imperial freedman who assumed the duties of praefectus or governor of Roman Egypt for a few months in AD 32, from the premature death of Vitrasius Pollio to the arrival from Rome of Aulus Avilius Flaccus.[1] He may have been a slave to Antonia Minor, wife of Drusus.

For the suffect consul, see Marcus Antonius Hiberus.

Besides Hiberus, only one other freedman served as governor of Egypt, Marcus Aurelius Epagathus.
