Marcus Lollius (suffect consul)


Marcus Lollius perhaps with the cognomen Paulinus (flourished second half of 1st century BC and first half of 1st century) was a Roman Senator who served as a consul.

Lollius was a member of the plebeian gens Lollia. He was the son born to the Roman Politician and Military Officer Marcus Lollius from his wife Aurelia. Aurelia was the adoptive sister to the Roman Senator Marcus Aurelius Cotta Maximus Messalinus. Lollius was the namesake of his father and paternal grandfather. His possible brother may have been Publius Lollius Maximus or at least a close relation to his father. Publius Lollius Maximus was a soldier who served under the first Roman emperor Augustus; later becoming a friend of the Poet Horace; who became a possible poet, historian and must have been offered a post in the Retinue of the future Roman emperor Tiberius in about 20 BC.

Little is known on the life of Lollius. Lollius served as a consul perhaps as a suffect consul in 13.

The Horrea Lolliana was either built by his father or Lollius himself. It is known from the inscriptions refer to them and also, from their plan in the Severan Marble Plan of Rome. It seems his family had long trade connections and his family’s name is found among the Italian merchants on the Greek island of Delos in the Hellenistic period.

Lollius married a Roman noblewoman called Volusia Saturnina, a sister to the consul Lucius Volusius Saturninus. and daughter of Quintus Volusius from his wife Claudia, a sister of praetor, Tiberius Claudius Nero. As thus, she was a first cousin to Tiberius and his brother, Nero Claudius Drusus.
