Lusius Quietus (Latin: Lusius Quiētus, pronounced [ˈɫʊsi.ʊs kᶣiˈeːtʊs]; Koinē Greek: Λούσιος Κυήτος, romanized: Loúsios Kyítos, pronounced [ˈlusi.os kyˈitos]) was a Roman Berber general and 11th legate of Judaea from 117. He was the principal commander against the Jewish rebellion known as the Kitos War (Kitos is a later corruption of Quietus). As both a general and a highly acclaimed commander, he was notably one of the most accomplished Berber statesmen in ancient Roman history.[1] After the death of the emperor Trajan, Quietus was murdered or executed, possibly on the orders of Trajan's successor Hadrian.
