Sulpicia'nus, Fla'vius

the father-in-law of the emperor Pertinax, was appointed upon the death of Commodus praefectus urbi. After the murder of his son he became one of the candidates for the vacant throne, when it was exposed for sale by the praetorians. He was outbid by Didius Julianus, who stripped him of his office but spared his life at the request of the soldiers. He was subsequently put to death by Septimius Severus, on the charge of having favoured the pretensions of Clodius Albinus. (D. C. 73.7, 11, 75.8.) [W.R]
