Family
Secundus came from a family of Roman Equestrian order and by birth he was of the gens Vibia. His mother was a Roman noblewoman called Junia, who came from the Junius (gens). Secundus’ brother was the influential Politician Lucius Junius Quintus Vibius Crispus. Secundus was born and raised in Rome. There is a possibility that Secundus could be related to suffect consul Lucius Vibius Sabinus, father of the Roman Empress Vibia Sabina.
Career
In late 59, Secundus was convicted for extortion on a charge brought by the Mauretanians and was exiled from Italy. His brother Crispus used his influence in the Roman Senate to save Secundus from a worse sentence. Later recalled from exile, Secundus served as a suffect consul in 86 and in 113 served as Proconsul in the Province of Asia.
