Marcus Arrecinus Clemens (Consul)
Marcus Arrecinus Clemens († between 83 and 96) was a Roman senator in the 1st century.
He was the son of the eponymous Praetorian prefect under Caligula . Although a senator, the younger Arrecinus was given the same office in 70 after the civil war of the year of the four emperors, because he was related by marriage to the new Flavian imperial family: his sister Arrecina Tertulla was the first wife of the emperor's son and later emperor Titus , who died early .
At an unknown point in time, perhaps already under Nero , Arrecinus Clemens held the praetor as praetor urbanus . In 73 he became a suffect consul , later legatus Augusti pro praetore (governor) of the province of Hispania Tarraconensis . He held a second suffect consulate in the year 83 or 84 under Domitian . Arrecinus was possibly also city prefect of Rome (probably not, as previously assumed, curator aquarum ). Although he was one of Domitian's confidants, he was executed by the emperor at an unknown time.
