Lucius Titius Plautius Aquilinus Explained

Lucius Titius Plautius Aquilinus was a Roman senator active during the middle of the second century AD.

Life

He was ordinary consul for 162 as the colleague of Junius Rusticus.^[1] Aquilinus is known only from inscriptions, which include brick stamps^[2] and the tombstone of one of his slaves.

Descended from an Italian family, Aquilinus may have been the brother of Plautius Quintillus,^[3] consul in 159, and therefore the son of Lucius Titius Epidius Aquilinus, consul in 125, and an Avidia Plautia.^[4] Details of Aquilinus' senatorial career have not yet been recovered.
