Sextus Quintilius Valerius Maximus
Sextus Quintilius Valerius Maximus was a Roman politician and senator .
Maximus came from Alexandria Troas in the province of Asia and was a son of Sextus Quintilius Valerius Maximus, who was a legate of Achaea . In 151 Maximus became ordinary consul with his brother Sextus Quintilius Condianus . This is evidenced by two military diplomas dated January 20, 151. In the 168/9 or 169/70 year of office Maximus became proconsul of Asia .
Apparently the brothers were then correctores from Achaea (from around 170/1 to 174/5). According to Philostratus the Elder Achaea, the two brothers ruled together. They are also attested in Mark Aurel's letter to the Athenians , found in 1966, probably from the years 174 or 175, as persons responsible for the justice of Achaea.
On the Via Appia you can see the ruins of the villa of the Quintilians built by the brothers .
