Marcus Junius Rufus
Marcus Junius Rufus was a Roman eques who lived in the 1st century. A member of the ancient Junius (gens), is best known for being praefectus or governor of Roman Egypt from 94 to 98.[1]
During his tenure in Egypt Rufus married Claudia Capitolina, the daughter of Tiberius Claudius Balbilus, who had been governor of Egypt a generation before. He was Capitolina's second husband; her first husband was the prince of Commagene, Gaius Julius Archelaus Antiochus Epiphanes who had died in Athens in 92.[2]
After Junius Rufus stepped down from his appointment in Egypt, his life is a blank.
