Biography

Publius Cornelius Anullinus (or, occasionally, Anulinus) was one of the generals of the Roman emperor Septimius Severus. He was from the city of Iliberis (Granada, or identified by modern scholars as likely being in or near Albayzín), and, while there is no clear information around this, it is believed he was not of a patrician family but was one of the equites.
Anullinus served as the governor of the Roman province of Hispania Baetica in 170, and the later emperor Severus would serve under him as quaestor. It is believed (though there is no documentary evidence of this) that the two had met earlier in Rome, and Severus served at Anullinus's request. He may (or may not) have been legate of the Roman province of Africa proconsularis in 193.
He served a crushing defeat to Severus's rival Pescennius Niger at the Battle of Issus in the year 194, during the Year of the Five Emperors. Anullinus was praefectus urbi of Rome in 196. He afterwards commanded one of the divisions of the army which Severus sent against the city of Adiabene, in 197. He was made consul a second time in 199.
A different Publius Cornelius Anulinus was consul with Publius Catius Sabinus in the year 216.
