Titus Longaeus Rufus

Titus Longaeus Rufus was a Roman eques who is known to have held imperial appointments during the reign of the Emperor Commodus. He is known from inscriptions and surviving documents written on papyrus.

He is attested as holding two of the most important civil offices reserved to equites. The first was

Pomponius Faustinianus.^[3]

Rufus then returned to Rome to serve as Praetorian prefect; this is attested by an inscription recovered in Alexandria that mentions both Longaeus Rufus and Titus Voconius Af[...], praefectus legionis or commander of Legio II Traiana Fortis, which was part of the garrison of Roman Egypt.^[4]
