Gaianus of Tyre

Gaianus of Tyre (Greek: Γαϊανός ό Τύριος) was the consular governor of Phoenicia in 362. Pagan Hellene rhetorician Libanius' Epistulae with Gaianus lists his achievements after his graduation from the Law school of Berytus.

As a rule, Roman governors were chosen from provinces other that the ones they were appointed to; Libanius' epistula 799 relates that the Emperor made an exception to that rule and allowed Gaianus, a Tyrian, to rule over his home province of Phoenice.
