Gaianus of Tyre

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Gaianus of Tyre was the

law school of Beirut.[1][2]

As a rule, Roman governors were chosen from provinces other that the ones they were appointed to; Libanius' epistula 799 relates that the Emperor made an exception to that rule and allowed Gaianus, a Tyrian, to rule over his home province of Phoenicia.[3]
