ordinary consul

Lucius Funisulanus Vettonianus was a Roman general and senator during the reigns of the Flavian emperors. He was suffect consul in the nundinium of September to October 78 with Quintus Corellius Rufus as his colleague.^[1]

Life

Vettonianus had an inauspicious start to his career, as a tresviri capitales, one of the magistracies that comprised the

Battle of Rhandeia

and suffered dishonor.
The next posts Vettonianus held were civilian ones: prefect of the
Manius Acilius Aviola.^[6]

After his nundinium as suffect consul, Vettonianus was appointed governor of
dona militaria appropriate for an ex-consul.^[8]

Vettonianus capped his career with the
septemviri epulonum
before his death.

Vettonianus' tomb was erected on the

prefect of Egypt.^[11]
