Titus Pullo Titus Pullo was one of the two Roman centurion s of the 11th Legion ( Legio XI Claudia ) mentioned in the writings of Julius Caesar . The other soldier mentioned was Lucius Vorenus ; they appear in Caesar ' s " Commentarii de Bello Gallico , " Book 5 , Chapter 44 . Pullo and Vorenus were fierce rivals for promotion to " primus pilus " , the most senior centurion in a legion . Both distinguished themselves in 54 BC when the Nervii attacked the legion under Quintus Cicero in their winter quarters in Nervian territory . In an effort to outdo Vorenus , Pullo charged out of the fortified camp and attacked the enemy , but was soon wounded and surrounded . Vorenus followed and engaged his attackers in hand - to - hand combat , killing one and driving the rest back , but lost his footing and was himself soon surrounded . Pullo in turn rescued Vorenus , and after killing several of the enemy , the pair returned to camp amid applause from their comrades . In the Civil War of 49 BC , Pullo was assigned to the XXIV Victrix Rapax , a new Italian legion commanded by the legate Gaius Antonius . In 48 BC , Antonius was blockaded on an island and forced to surrender ; Pullo was apparently responsible for most of his soldiers switching sides to fight for Pompey .

Seleucia ( theme ) The Theme of Seleucia ( , " thema Seleukeias " ) was a Byzantine theme ( a military - civilian province ) in the southern coast of Asia Minor ( modern Turkey ) , headquartered at Seleucia ( modern Silifke ) . History . In Late Antiquity , the port of Seleucia was the chief city of the Roman province of Isauria and seat of the " comes Isauriae " . In the 8th century , it is attested as a subordinate command , first under a " tourmarches " and then under a " droungarios " , of the naval theme of the Cibyrrhaeots . In the early 9th century , however , it appears as a small " kleisoura " ( a fortified frontier command ) sandwiched between the larger Byzantine themes of the Cibyrrhaeots , the Anatolics , and Cappadocia and the sea , and bordering on the Abbasid Caliphate ' s domains in Cilicia along the river Lamos . According to the Arab geographers Qudamah ibn Ja ' far and Ibn Khordadbeh , in the 9th century the " kleisoura " comprised Seleucia as capital and ten other fortresses , with 5 , 000 men , out of which 500 were cavalry . The " kleisoura " was raised to the status of a full theme sometime in the reign of Romanos I Lekapenos ( r . 920 – 944 ) , most likely c . 927 – 934 . According to the " De Thematibus " of Emperor Constantine VII ( r . 913 – 959 ) , the theme was divided in two commands , one for the hinterland and a coastal / maritime one . The region fell into the hands of the Seljuk Turks after the Battle of Manzikert in 1071 . At the time , the mountainous interior of the region was predominantly inhabited by Armenians who had settled there over the previous century . The Byzantines recovered the area and refortified Seleucia and Corycus in 1099 / 1100 , after which it became anew the seat of a Byzantine military governor ( " doux " ) . It remained a Byzantine province until shortly after 1180 , when it was conquered by the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia .
