Publius Vinicius
Publius Vinicius was a Roman senator active during the reigns of Emperors Augustus and Tiberius. He was the son of Marcus Vinicius, consul in 19 BC.[1]
Vinicius was ordinary consul in AD 2 with Publius Alfenus Varus, and was an imperial legate for Macedonia and Thracia. There he commanded a legion as military tribune under Lucius Calpurnius Piso.[2][3] Several years after his consulate, Vinicius was proconsular governor of Asia at some point between AD 10 and 15, but probably in AD 10/11.[4]
His son Marcus Vinicius was consul in AD 30 and a second time in the year 45.[5]
