Lucius Aemilius Iuncus (suffect consul 127)
Lucius Aemilius Iuncus was a Roman senator of the early 2nd century.
Lucius Aemilius Iuncus came from Tripoli in Phenicia , which at that time belonged to the Roman province of Syria . What his native name was is not known, his Roman name must either have been adopted, as provincials who wanted to make a career in Rome usually did, or he was adopted by a Roman. In any case, he is a good example of the fact that from the 2nd century onwards, not only Italians and Romanized provincials from Hispania and Gaul , but also Orientals came to the Senate.
Aemilius Iuncus' early career is not recorded. He is registered as a suffect consul for the months from October to December 127 for the year 127 . He also appears, around 132–135, as legatus Augusti pro praetore and corrector for the free cities of Achaia , an office whose detailed competencies are not known, but which probably included financial supervisory functions similar to that of a curator civitatis (in Delphi he will mentioned in a resolution on the distribution of public lands). The year of his death is unknown. The suffect consul of the same name in 179 was probably his descendant.
