Lucius Clodius Macer
Lucius Clodius Macer was a
legatus of the
Roman Empire in
Africa in the time of
Nero. He revolted in
68 AD, cutting off the food supply of
Rome. Although encouraged by
Galba, Macer raised a legion
Legio I Macriana liberatrix in addition to the
Legio III Augusta that he already commanded, presumably raising suspicion that Macer also harbored imperial ambitions, and in October of 68 Galba had him killed by Trebonius Garutianus.
