Born the son of a Roman knight at Cales in Regio I (Latium et Campania) of Italia, Vinicius distinguished himself as legatus Augusti pro praetore (governor) of the Roman province of Gallia Belgica in 25 BC, when he led a successful campaign into Germania.
At some point, Vinicius may also have served as governor of the Roman province of Achaea; an inscription from Corinth, dated to 18-12 BC and honoring his fellow-general, and the Emperor's right-hand man, Agrippa , reveals that an administrative division of the city had been named the tribus Vinicia, apparently in Vinicius' honor.
