Lusius Quietus

Lusius Quietus (Latin: Lusius Quiētus, pronounced [ˈɫʊsi.ʊs kᶣiˈeːtʊs]; Koinē Greek: Λούσιος Κυήτος, romanized: Loúsios Kyítos, pronounced [ˈlusi.os kyˈitos]) was a Roman Berber general and 11th legate of Judaea from 117. He was the principal commander against the Jewish rebellion known as the Kitos War (Kitos is a later corruption of Quietus). As both a general and a highly acclaimed commander, he was notably one of the most accomplished Berber statesmen in ancient Roman history. After the death of the emperor Trajan, Quietus was murdered or executed, possibly on the orders of Trajan's successor Hadrian.
