Lateranus was a member of the Republican gens Sextia. [2] He was the son of Titus Sextius Lateranus, consul in 154. [2]

In 195, Lateranus supported the Emperor Septimius Severus in his military campaign against the Parthian Empire, serving as a Dux exercitus, [3] his only recorded military position. [4] In recognition of this service, the emperor rewarded Lateranus with an ordinary consulship in 197. [4]

As Lateranus was a very wealthy, powerful, and influential Roman Patrician, he owned a house in Rome near the emperor. [5]

The gens Caesonia was a plebeian family of ancient Rome. They first appear in history during the late Republic, remaining on the periphery of the Roman aristocracy until the time of Nero.

The gens Sextia was a plebeian family at ancient Rome, from the time of the early Republic and continuing into imperial times. The most famous member of the gens was Lucius Sextius Lateranus, who as tribune of the plebs from 376 to 367 BC, prevented the election of the annual magistrates, until the passage of the lex Licinia Sextia, otherwise known as the "Licinian Rogations," in the latter year. This law, brought forward by Sextius and his colleague, Gaius Licinius Calvus, opened the consulship to the plebeians, and in the following year Sextius was elected the first plebeian consul. Despite the antiquity of the family, only one other member obtained the consulship during the time of the Republic. Their name occurs more often in the consular fasti under the Empire.
