Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinus[1] was a Roman Senator who lived in the Roman Empire in the 1st century. He might have been the brother of empress Messalina.
Corvinus was a member of the Republican gens Valeria. Corvinus was the namesake of the Senator and Augustan literary patron Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinus.[2] He may have been a son of the Senator and consul Marcus Aurelius Cotta Maximus Messalinus, who was a son of Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinus,[3] or possibly the son of the consul Marcus Valerius Messalla Barbatus and Domitia Lepida the Younger, thus making him the brother of Valeria Messalina, the third wife of the emperor Claudius.[4]
In 46/47AD, Corvinus was a member of the Arval Brethren. From January to April in 58AD, he served as an ordinary consul with the emperor Nero[5] and then from May to June in 58AD, as a suffect consul with Gaius Fonteius Agrippa.[6] Starting with his consulship, he was granted an annual half a million sesterces to maintain his senatorial qualifications.[7]
