Lucius Pomponius Flaccus
Lucius Pomponius Flaccus († probably 35 AD) was a Roman senator of the early imperial period and consul ordinarius in 17 AD .
Flaccus came from the plebeian family of Pomponiers . The family home was probably the Umbrian iguvium . Flaccus' older brother was Gaius Pomponius Graecinus , suffect consul in the year 16. Pomponius Flaccus was married to a Memmia.
Like his brother, Pomponius Flaccus was friends with the poet Ovid , who sent him one of his epistulae ex Ponto from exile when Flaccus was a legate in Moesia . He held the ordinary consulate of the year 17 together with Gaius Caelius Rufus . In 19 Flaccus returned to Moesia as governor. He owed his friendship with the emperor Tiberius later, from the year 32, the governorship of the province of Syria, where he came into conflict with Herod Agrippa . Flaccus died in Syria; his successor was Lucius Vitellius in 35 .
