About Publius Cornelius Anullinus

Born 150. Publius Cornelius Anullinus was a Roman politician, military personnel, military leader and consul.

Publius Cornelius Anullinus (or, occasionally, Anulinus) was one of the generals of the Roman emperor Septimius Severus. He was from the city of Iliberis (Granada, or identified by modern scholars as likely being in or near Albayzín), and, while there is no clear information around this, it is believed he was not of a patrician family but was one of the equites.

Anullinus served as the governor of the Roman province of Hispania Baetica in 170, and the later emperor Severus would serve under him as quaestor. It is believed (though there is no documentary evidence of this) that the two had met earlier in Rome, and Severus served at Anullinus's request. have been legate of the Roman province of Africa proconsularis in 193. during the Year of the Five Emperors. Anullinus must have reached consular rank before the year 196 since he was praefectus urbi of Rome that year.

His family must have retained favour with Severus' son and successor Caracalla, since a different Publius Cornelius Anulinus was consul ordinarius with Publius Catius Sabinus in the year 216.
