Lupus, Numisius
was commander of one of the three legions (the eighth) stationed in the province of Moesia. A decisive victory having been gained over the Rhoxolani, a Sarmatian tribe, who invaded the province, Lupus and his fellowcommanders received the insignia of consuls, A. D. 69. (Tac. Hist. 1.79, 3.10.)
