Gaius Caetronius Miccio

Gaius Caetronius Miccio was a Roman senator who flourished during the first century AD. His career up to the point he may have become consul is outlined in an inscription at Braga, Portugal.

Biography The name Caetronius (emended from 'Caleronius', as it appears on the stone, by Hübner and Alföldy) is Etruscan and the surname Miccio is Celtic, both attested in Italy. His voting tribe was the 'Camilia', a tribe which is attested as associated with only a few towns in Italy. Géza Alföldy thus concludes that Gaius Caetronius Miccio most probably came from Suasa, a town in Umbria inhabited by the Gallic Senones. Miccio then went on to serve as the emperor's judicial administrator in the province of Hispania Citerior. He afterwards served as commander (legate) of the Legio II Augusta in Germania Superior; Corbier dates this commission to around 35. The latest office recorded in this inscription was praefectus reliquorum demandendorum populi Romani, one of three senators that Claudius selected in AD 42 to supervise collection of arrears due to the treasury due from subject peoples of the empire.

Alföldy notes that he may have held further offices, perhaps even the consulship, though the inscription does not record any. Corbier notes that, at the time of her writing, "the consular records are incomplete for the years 44 and 45."
