	Roman Governor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Roman governor was an official either elected or appointed to be the chief adminstator of Roman law throughout one or more of Ancient Rome's many provinces.
		Every governor had at his disposal a diversity of advisers and staff, who were known as his comites (Latin for "companions"); the number of these depended on the governor's social standing and rank.
		In the provinces with a significant legionary presence, the governor's second-in-command was usually a quaestor, a man elected in Rome and sent to the province to serve a mainly financial role, but who could command the military with the governor's approval.

		In ancient Rome, a governor was an official charged with the administration of a Roman province.

		Since most Roman politicians had to be extremely wealthy to start their career in politics, these politicians had not only the political power, but also the material strength to make their will happen.
		Being a governor in a province that was far away from Rome would give the senator a taste of autonomous power and the feeling of being the emperor of a small kingdom.
		To the Roman voters, the candidate must not only be from the right family with enormous wealth, he had to show them that he knew their will and would act accordingly.

		It was located near the edge of the Syrian desert, between Roman Syria and Persian Babylonia, at an oasis watered by the Efqa spring.
		It may reflect Roman recognition of Odaenathus's predominance among the Palmyrenes, purely honorifically; but since the second century hypatikos had been used to designate the governor of Roman provincial Syria, so it is possible Odaenathus held that office.
		Although the story's vivid, murderous confrontations cannot reflect the whole truth -- the very existence of the Roman empire on the periphery of the Arab struggle is completely ignored, for example -- the legend could have been germinated by a rivalry acute enough to precipitate the Palmyrenes' actions in 269/70.

		In September 9 AD an army of three Roman legions with supporting units of cavalry and auxiliaries, around 20,000 men in all, was annihilated in a running battle which lasted for three days.
		The loss of the Varian Legions was a massive psychological blow to the Roman Empire and, after 9 AD, the Romans gave up their plans to hold Germania and withdrew to the west bank of the Rhine.
		A combination of Roman military artefacts and coins dating to 9 AD indicate that the Kalkriese site is, at least, one associated with the battle.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Publius Lentulus
		Publius Lentulus is a fictitious person, said to have been Governor of Judea before Pontius, and to have written the following letter to the Roman Senate: "Lentulus, the Governor of the Jerusalemites to the Roman Senate and People, greetings.
		It must be of Greek origin, and translated into Latin during the thirteenth or fourteenth century, though it received its present form at the hands of humanist of the fifteenth or sixteenth century.
		The letter of Lentulus is certainly apocryphal: there never was a Governor of Jerusalem; no Procurator of Judea is known to have been called Lentulus, a Roman governor would not have addressed the Senate, but the emperor, a Roman writer would not have employed the expressions, "prophet of truth", "sons of men", "Jesus Christ".
