Lucius Hedius Rufus Lollianus Avitus (Consul 144)
Lucius Hedius Rufus Lollianus Avitus was a Roman politician and senator in the times of Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius .
The home of the Hedii was in Italy, apparently in Pollentia in Liguria. Pertinax , who was closely associated with this family , also came from near Pollentia . His father of the same name was a suffect consul in 114. His grandsons were Quintus Hedius Lollianus Plautius Avitus and Hedius Lollianus Terentius Gentianus , consuls in 209 and 211 respectively.
A military diploma dated February 23, 144 shows that Lollianus 144 was full consul together with Titus Statilius Maximus . Around 157 he became proconsul of Africa . Later, probably in 165, he was governor of Bithynia et Pontus . Until around 160 this province was still administered by proconsuls; Lollianus was very likely the first imperial legate. He was literarily educated and worked as an author himself.
