Biography
of Secundinus

TNMP 256

Secundinus served as an imperial slave (vilicus Augusti nostri) and ran a customs post (statio) in the strategically important town of Bad Ischl, known for its salt trade routes, in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. His role as vilicus placed him in a position of administrative responsibility, overseeing the movement and taxation of goods, particularly salt, a valuable commodity in the Roman economy.
