Biography
Aulus Vicirius Martialis was a Roman senator active during the reign of Trajan. He was suffect consul for the nundinium July-August 98 with Lucius Maecius Postumus as his colleague. Martialis is known only through surviving inscriptions.
Martialis was the son of an Aulus Vicirius A.f. Proculus, attested as a military tribune of Legio IV Scythica and flamen Augusti during the reign of Claudius, and interred at Siena. Martialis is known to have had a brother, Aulus Vicirius Proculus, suffect consul in the year 89.
Martialis is known to have held only one office, as proconsular governor of Asia in 113/114. It had been thought at one time his brother Proculus instead had been proconsul, but R. Merkelbach has clearly shown Martialis was the governor.
