Titus Aurelius Fulvus (Consul 85)
Titus Aurelius Fulvus was a Roman senator of the 1st century AD and the grandfather of the later Roman emperor Antoninus Pius .
Fulvus came from Nemausus ( Nîmes ) in southern Gaul ( province of Gallia Narbonensis ). He went through the senatorial career and was legate of Legio III Gallica in Armenia since 64 . In the four-emperor year 69 he was awarded the official insignia of a consul by Otho because of his successes against the Roxolans . At an unknown point in time - probably during the 1970s - he held his first consulate (as a suffect consul ), and the second (as consul ordinarius ). He was also city prefect ( praefectus urbi ).
After the early death of his son of the same name , who was also consul ordinarius in 89 , Fulvus temporarily took his grandson Titus Aurelius Fulvus Boionius Arrius Antoninus, who later became emperor, into his home.
