Aulus Platorius Nepos

Platorius Nepos was governor of Germania Inferior . He was a close friend and possible kinsman of the Emperor Hadrian and may have accompanied Hadrian on his visit to Britain in 122 . In this year he was made governor of Roman Britain and oversaw the construction of Hadrian's Wall . He probably brought VI ''Victrix'' with him from the continent to assist in the construction and perhaps to replace IX ''Hispana'' which had left around 108 .

Nepos' huge expenditure on the frontier work however caused him to fall from Hadrian's favour. He was replaced around 125 .
