Lucius Cuspius Pactumeius Rufinus
Lucius Cuspius Pactumeius Rufinus (* approx. 100) was a Roman politician and senator of the 2nd century.
Rufinus came from Pergamon , but the Cuspii family was of Italian origin. The Pactumeii, in turn, were a senatorial family from North Africa. Rufinus' alleged father, Lucius Cuspius Camerinus (suffect consul in 126), is only known through the recent publication of two military diplomas.
Admitted to the Senate by Emperor Hadrian , Rufinus became full consul in 142 . This is evidenced by a military diploma dated January 15, 142. Rufinus was very committed to the welfare of his hometown Pergamon. Among other things, he took care of the expansion of the cult area of the Asklepieion .
Lucius (or Gaius) Cuspius Rufinus, consul in 197, is probably a grandson of Rufinus.
