Biography

Egnatius Proculus was a member of the second and third century gens Egnatia, and it has been speculated that he was the son of Aulus Egnatius Priscillianus, a Roman philosopher. [2] He is known to have filled a number of posts during his career, but no exact or even approximate dates can be assigned to them.

Between the late second century and early third century, he was appointed Legatus Aug Africae dioeces(eos) Numidiae ('governor of the province of Numidia'), and was Legatus legionis of the Legio VIII Augusta stationed in Germania Superior. He was Praefectus frumenti dandi ('prefect responsible for the distribution of Rome's free grain dole'), as well as Praefectus aerarii Saturni ('prefect in charge of the state treasury'). [3]

After his appointment as suffect consul in a nundinium , Egnatius Proculus was appointed Curator Bovianensium, Albensium Fucentium, Concordiensium .

Egnatius Proculus was possibly the brother of Quintus Egnatius Proculus and Lucius Egnatius Victor.
