Lucius Marius Perpetuus (fl. late 2nd century to early 3rd century AD) was a Roman military officer and senator who was appointed suffect consul sometime between AD 203 and 214.
Marius Perpetuus was the son of Lucius Marius Perpetuus, an equestrian procurator , and the brother of Marius Maximus, the Roman imperial biographer. Although his career is fairly well documented, many of the dates in which he held office are uncertain.
Possibly a member of the Vigintiviri , his first attested position was as Tribunus laticlavius of the Legio IV Scythica, posted in Syria. Standing as an imperial candidate for the office of quaestor, the next magistracy was either plebeian tribune or aedile; if he was not adlected into the praetorship, it is certain that he was a praetor to hold those offices he is attested as holding.

Marius Perpetuus was commissioned as Legatus legionis of Legio XVI Flavia Firma in Syria-Coele under the governor Lucius Alfenus Senecio, either in AD 200 or around AD 203. This was followed by an appointment as Legatus Augusti pro praetore (or imperial governor) of Arabia Petraea sometime between AD 200 and 207. Sometime around this period, between 203 and 214, Marius Perpetuus was appointed suffect consul, the most likely dates being AD 203, 208 or 214.
Sometime between AD 204 and 211, Marius Perpetuus was the curator rerum publicarum Urbisalviensium (in Piceno) item Tusculanorum , and this was followed by his appointment as Legatus Augusti pro praetore in Moesia Superior, probably from AD 211 to around 214. Then, possibly in 214, or 215/6, he was again Legatus Augusti pro praetore, this time of the province of Tres Daciae. Finally he was appointed the Proconsular governor of either Africa or Asia around AD 218/9.
Virius Lupus was a Roman soldier and politician of the late 2nd and early 3rd century.
Lucius Marius Maximus Perpetuus Aurelianus was a Roman biographer, writing in Latin, who in the early decades of the 3rd century AD wrote a series of biographies of twelve Emperors, imitating and continuing Suetonius. Marius's work is lost, but it was still being read in the late 4th century and was used as a source by writers of that era, notably the author of the Historia Augusta. The nature and reliability of Marius's work, and the extent to which the earlier part of the HA draws upon it, are two vexed questions among the many problems that the HA continues to pose for students of Roman history and literature.

The gens Viria was a Roman family of the second and third centuries, possibly of northern Italian origin. The first member to ascend the cursus honorum was Virius Lupus. It is possible that the family was elevated to Patrician status around that same time. The family's influence appears to have culminated in the third century.
