Vindex, C. Iulius

A propraetor of Gallia Celtica in the reign of Nero, and the first of the Roman governors who disowned the authority of Nero (A.D. 68). He did not, however, aspire to the Empire himself, but offered it to Galba. Virginius Rufus, the governor of Upper Germany, marched with his army against Vindex. The two generals had a conference before Vesontio (Besançon), in which they appear to have come to some agreement; but as Vindex was about to enter the town, he was attacked by the soldiers of Virginius, and put an end to his own life.
