Chapters: Paul of Tarsus, Gaius Ummidius Durmius Quadratus. Excerpt: Gaius Ummidius Durmius Quadratus (c. 12 BCE-c. 60 CE) was the Roman governor of Syria from c. 50 until his death. Biography Early life Gaius Ummidius Durmius Quadratus was born c. 12 BCE. His family, the Ummidii, were nobles from the Italian town of Casinum, Latium. His second family name, "Durmius", may indicate that he was adopted into the Ummidii; if so, his natural father could have been one Marcus Durmius, known to have been a mint official c. 19 BCE. Neither family had previously produced any members of the Roman Senate, and Quadratus began his career by holding a minor judicial post in Rome. However, in 14 CE he achieved the quaestorship, a junior magistracy bringing membership of the Senate, and was one of two quaestors assigned as assistants to Augustus, the first Emperor. Augustus died on August 19, and Quadratus was able to witness at close hand Rome's first imperial succession, as the power passed to Augustus' adoptive son Tiberius. Career under Tiberius Thereafter Quadratus advanced rapidly through the cursus honorum the sequence of positions held by Roman senators becoming curule aedile in 16 or 17 and praetor in 18. He could have expected to hold the consulship in due course, but his only known office until 37, the year of Tiberius' death, was that of proconsul of Cyprus. Ronald Syme speculates that he had somehow fallen from the Emperor's favour. Governorship of Syria The procurator of Iudaea, Ventidius Cumanus, was accused of partiality to the Samaritans, who were at variance with the Galileans, and both parties appealed to Quadratus. The governor went to Samaria in 52 and suppressed the disturbance. The Samaritan and Galilean insurgents were crucified; five (eighteen according to Books, , 60s-Deaths~~Books-Llc, 999999999, 60s Deaths, Books Llc, 1156374790, General Books LLC, , , , , General Books LLC<
