Sextus Julius Frontinus was a multi-talented figure in the Roman Empire from the 1st to the beginning of the 2nd century. Karl Christ (1923–2008), one of the leading ancient historians of his time, paints a picture of Frontinus’s personality in a publication. According to his work, Frontinus was not only an extremely gifted administrator, general, and engineer, but also distinguished himself by his great objectivity, vision, modesty, and loyalty. He was thus one of the most important figures in the Roman Empire.
