Annius Rufus

{{Short description|Roman Prefect of Judea from AD 12 to 15}} '''Annius Rufus''' succeeded Marcus Ambivulus as the 3rd Prefect of Judea in 12.

==History== His tenure was apparently without incident since the only event that Josephus reports as occurring while he was in office is the death of Augustus in Rome in 14. He was succeeded by Valerius Gratus in 15.

==Sources== * Josephus: ''Antiquities of the Jews'', Book 18, Ch. 2.
