Marcus Cominius Secundus was a Roman senator, who was active during the reign of Marcus Aurelius. He was suffect consul in one of the later nundinia of 151 with Lucius Attidius Cornelianus as his colleague.[1] He is known from inscriptions and military diplomas issued during his time.
Ronald Syme has observed that "Cominius looks Italian (of low degree, no consul of that name hitherto), but a provincial origin is not excluded, possibly Narbonensian."[2]
Two offices in the imperial service are known for Secundus. The first was as legatus legionis or commander of Legio V Macedonica in Lower Moesia during the governorship of Lucius Minicius Natalis Quadronius Verus; this fell in the years 141 through 144.[3] The second was immediately before his consulship, when Cominius Secundus was governor of the imperial province of Pannonia Inferior from around 147 to 150.[4]
