Lucius Aemilius Iuncus (suffect consul 179)
Lucius Aemilius Iuncus was a senator of the middle Roman Empire . He lived in the 2nd century AD.
He was probably a descendant of the suffect consul of the same name from 127 AD. The early stages of his cursus honorum are not known. A military diploma dated March 23, 179, proves that he was in 179 together with Titus Flavius Claudianus suffect consul ; they probably belonged to the second nundinium . It is probably to be equated with the consular whom the Emperor Commodus, who came to power in 180, exiled. Commodus was murdered at the end of 192 and Aemilius Iuncus is attested as proconsul of the Roman province of Asia for 193/194.
