Fulvius Pius

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gaius (?) Fulvius Pius was a Roman politician and senator .

Pius almost certainly belonged to the Gens Fulvia , who probably emigrated from Italy to Leptis Magna in the Augustan period , from which also Fulvius Pius, the grandfather of Septimius Severus on his mother's side (the mother's name was Fulvia Pia), and the powerful Praetorian prefect Gaius Fulvius Plautianus descended. More precise relationships cannot be determined.

Pius became a full consul in the six-emperor year 238 . His further civil service career is unknown.
