Lucius Venuleius Apronianus Octavius Priscus was a Roman senator of the second century. He was ordinary consul as the colleague of Quintus Articuleius Paetinus in 123. [1] Subsequent to his consulate, Priscus was proconsular governor of Asia in 138 and 139. [2] He is known primarily through inscriptions.

While Ronald Syme suggested that Priscus was the son of Lucius Venuleius Montanus Apronianus, suffect consul in 92, J. Schied has shown this is unlikely; [3] nevertheless, Priscus was a member of the patrician class. [4] Further there is "no doubt" that Priscus is the father of Lucius Venuleius Apronianus Octavius Priscus, suffect consul around 145 and ordinary consul in 168. [5]

The Venuleii family owned the magnificent villa-estate at Massaciuccoli.
