| Cuspius Fadus |
Cuspius Fadus was an Ancient Roman eques and procurator of Iudaea Province in 44–46 AD.
After the death of King Agrippa, in 44 AD, he was appointed procurator by Claudius. During his administration, peace was restored in the country, and the only disturbance was created by one Theudas, who came forward with the claim of being a prophet. But he and his followers were put to death by the command of Cuspius Fadus, as Josephus recounts:
Cuspius Fadus was succeeded as procurator in 46 by Tiberius Julius Alexander.
