Maecilius Fuscus was a propraetor under
Gordian III, he served as governor of
Britannia Inferior, a province of
Roman Britain some time between AD 238 and 244. Little else is known of him although he seems to have been involved in the rebuilding and expansion of the fort at
Durham along with his successor,
Egnatius Lucilianus as inscriptions of him appear in
Lanchester, Durham.[1][2] Fuscus may have been the ancestor of the consul of 332 AD
Maecilius Hilarianus[3] as well as the emperor
Avitus.[4]
