Aurelius Arpagius

Who is Aurelius Arpagius?

Aurelius Arpagius was a governor of one of the provinces of Roman Britain, probably Britannia Secunda. He is known from a single building inscription from Birdoswald which describes the rebuilding of several buildings at the fort under the Tetrarchy, it dates to the period AD296-305.

This was just after Rome had retaken Britain from Allectus. The case is often made that there was significant unrest under his reign. Yet there is very little firm evidence that there any significant violence in this period.
