Lusius Quietus was a
Roman general and
governor of
Judaea in 117 AD. 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.
