Gaius Oppius Sabinus Julius Nepos Manius Vibius Sollemnis Severus was a Roman senator, who was active during the reign of Hadrian. He was suffect consul in an undetermined nundinium between AD 130 and 138. He is known entirely from a dedication on a statue base from Auximum (near Ancona), erected to honor him as the city's patron. Although the inscription provides a straightforward cursus honorum, the career of Oppius Sabinus remains enigmatic. He was adlected into the Senate by the emperor Hadrian inter tribunicos, or as having held the magistracy of plebeian tribune, which was followed by his tenure as peregrine praetor, elected as the candidate of the same emperor; these two offices, demonstrating the favor of that emperor, obviously are dated before Hadrian's death in the year 138. After completing his term as praetor, Oppius Sabinus was selected as the legatus proconsulis or assistant to the governor of Hispania Baetica, a post commonly held for one year. He returned to Rome, where he was appointed curator of a number of roads: the viae Clodia, Annia, Cassia, , tria Trajanarum, and Amerina. These comprised the network covering Italy, and his supervision of them occupied his time for two years. Then he accepted a commission as legatus legionis or commander of the Legio XI Claudia, then stationed at Durostorum (Silistra) on the Danube, which kept him from Rome for three years. Oppius Sabinus received another appointment, this time as governor of the imperial province of Lusitania, which was commonly held also for three years. His last praetorian office was from the sortition, which awarded him the governorship of the public province of Hispania Baetica. It is thought his consulate followed immediately after this last governorship. (en)
