Gaius Bruttius Praesens (Consul 153)

Gaius Bruttius Praesens was a Roman politician and senator of the 2nd century AD.

Bruttius was a member of the patrician gens Bruttia from Lucania and was a son of Gaius Bruttius Praesens , who had been consul in 139. His full name was Lucius Fulvius ... Gaius Bruttius Praesens Min ... Laberius Maximus Pompeius L ... ... Valens Cornelius Proculus ... Aquilius Veiento . The agnomen Polyonymus is only mentioned on his epitaph.

Bruttius was quaestor and held numerous priesthoods in the course of his life. He held the ordinary consulate with Aulus Junius Rufinus ; this is u. A. occupied by military diplomas, e.g. Some of them are dated March 5, 153. In the campaign against the Sarmatians he came to the later emperors Mark Aurel and Commodus ; to the latter he gave his daughter Bruttia Crispina to wife. Another office mentioned on an inscription cannot be clearly reconstructed; it could have been the prefecture of Rome or the proconsulate of the province of Africa or Asia . In 180 Bruttius was again consul. His son was Lucius Bruttius Quintius Crispinus .
