Manlius Valens
Gaius Manlius Valens was a Roman commander who, as legate of a legion in Britain in 52, was defeated by the Silures of south Wales soon after the death of the governor Ostorius Scapula, as Tacitus records. He later held commands in the civil wars of 69 and was consul in 96 at the age of ninety.
