Quintus Egrilius Plarianus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quintus Egrilius Plarianus was a Roman politician living in the 2nd century AD .

Military diplomas show that he was a suffect consul with Lucius Aemilius Carus in 144 .

Another post after his consulate was the governorship of Moesia superior as consular legatus Augusti pro praetore approx. 152 to approx. 155. The crowning glory of his cursus honorum was the proconsulate of Africa in 159 , where his son Quintus Egrilius Plarianus accompanied him as legatus. While Plarianus administered the province of Africa, the famous rhetorician Marcus Cornelius Fronto recommended him in a letter Julius Aqilinus, who was leaving for his province because of an accident in the family.
