Good career as a senator, followed trajan around and married trajans grand niece. Commanded the 1st legion in the dacian war. Governor of syria when trajan died, he was favoured by trajan and trajan wife platina. Historian is dependant upon his autobiography and an earlier historian. He was born on jan 24, 76 ce.
