Flavius Liberalis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flavius Liberalis was a man of equestrian rank, who came from Ferentium (modern Ferento) a country town in Italy. This man of humble origin was a quaestor and later a law clerk.
Liberalis had his daughter Flavia Domitilla appear before a board of arbitration to prove her claim for Roman Citizenship, instead of a Latin one. She later married the future Emperor Vespasian and father to Emperors Titus and Domitian.
