Marcus Caeionius Proculus Explained

Marcus Caeionius Proculus (250 or 255  - after 289) was a suffect consul in 289.

He was perhaps the son of (Marcus) Caeionius Varus (225 or 230  - after 285), praefectus urbi of Rome in 284 and 295, and of his wife Rufia C.f. Procula (born 235). His possible father was a descendant of Marcus Caeionius Silvanus, consul in 156.

Married to Alfenia Juliana (b. 260 or 265), perhaps daughter of Lucius Alfenius Virius Julianus (b. 230), a relative of Cassius Apronianus, they were perhaps the parents of:

• (Caeionia) (b. 285 or 290), married to (Pincius) (b. 280), clarissimus vir at the beginning of the 4th century, and they were perhaps the parents of (Pincia) (b. 305), married to Amnius Manius Caesonius Nicomachus Anicius Paulinus Honorius or Amnius Anicius Paulinus, consul in 334
