Person
Aedemon
Aedemon was a freedman of King Ptolemy of Mauretania who led a revolt after the emperor Caligula had Ptolemy executed in 40 CE. Roman forces under Suetonius Paulinus and Hosidius Geta put down the rising in 41–42 CE, after which Claudius annexed the kingdom and divided it into the provinces of Mauretania Tingitana and Mauretania Caesariensis.
