[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7975747, member: 115909"]Hmm I didn’t know that. All I knew was that the provincial Governor of Egypt appointed by the Emperor was the second most powerful man in the Empire. Like when Avidius Cassius was appointed there by Marcus Aurelius. Faustina the Younger got a false report that Marcus Aurelius had died and immediately fled to Egypt to convince Cassius to claim the Emperorship. Didn’t turn out so well after they found out Marcus Aurelius was very sick but not dead and eventually recovered. Poor Avidius got assassinated by one of his own centurions.[/QUOTE]
