Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinus (consul 58)

Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinus was a Roman Senator who lived in the Roman Empire in the 1st century.

Corvinus was a member of the Republican gens, Valeria. Corvinus was the namesake of Roman Senator and Augustan literacy patron Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinus. He could have been a son of the Roman Senator, consul Marcus Aurelius Cotta Maximus Messalinus who was a son of Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinus or could have been a son of Roman consul Marcus Valerius Messalla Barbatus and Domitia Lepida the Younger, thus could have been a brother of Valeria Messalina, the third wife of Roman emperor Claudius.

In 46/47, Corvinus was a member of the Arval Brethren. From January to April in 58, he served as an ordinary consul with the Roman emperor Nero and then from May to June in 58, as a suffect consul with Gaius Fonteius Capito. During his consulship, the Roman Senate paid him half a million sesterces as a subsidy for maintaining his senatorial census rank.
