The Praetorian Prefect of Rome, Ulpian?

Ulpian is one of the most famous jurists of the Severean Age. He came from Tyre in Syria which is interesting so perhaps there's that sort of Syrian connection there as well. According to Cassius Dio, Ulpian had two previous Praetorian Prefects murdered so he could succeed them. In one of the laws,. Ulpian is even referred to as male spherens, my father says.
