Marcus Ummidius Quadratus
Marcus Ummidius Quadratus (* 138/139) was a Roman politician and senator of the 2nd century AD.
Quadratus came from a noble family that had been one of the leading families in Rome since the consulate of Gaius Ummidius Durmius Quadratus around 40 AD. His father was called Ummidius Quadratus and was probably the same man who is attested as a suffect consul in 146 under the name Annianus Verus. His mother was Annia Cornificia Faustina ; she was the sister of the emperor Marcus Aurelius . After her death, Marcus Ummidius Quadratus inherited the considerable private fortune of his parents; however, the estates in the region between Phrygia and Pisidia passed to his sister.
Of the career of Quadratus only the ordinary consulate is known, which he held together with Lucius Verus in 167 . Claudius Ummidius Quadratus, conspirator against Emperor Commodus , is likely to have been his adopted son.
