From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lucius Domitius Gallicanus Papinianus was a Roman senator who lived during the 3rd century AD. He was suffect consul before the year 238.[1] His murder of two soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, assisted by Macenus in March 238, triggered the revolt that brought down the Emperor Maximinus Thrax.[2]

Details of his senatorial career have been recorded in an inscription found at Tarragona. He was governor of Dalmatia, Hispania Tarraconensis and Germania Inferior.[3]
