Tiberius Claudius Severus Proculus

Tiberius Claudius Severus Proculus (about 163-by 218) was a Roman Senator. Via his mother he was a grandson of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, but he played only a limited role in dynastic politics.

Severus Proculus was of noble descent, born in a wealthy, prominent, distinguished family in Pompeiopolis, a city in the Roman province of Galatia. He was the son of the Pontian Greek Roman Senator and Peripatetic Philosopher, Gnaeus Claudius Severus, and his second wife the Roman Princess Annia Aurelia Galeria Faustina. He had a paternal half-brother called Marcus Claudius Ummidius Quadratus, from his father's first marriage, who was adopted by the Roman Consul Marcus Ummidius Quadratus Annianus, a nephew of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius.

His paternal grandfather, Gnaeus Claudius Severus Arabianus, was also Senator and Peripatetic Philosopher. He was one of the teachers of Marcus Aurelius, to whom he later became friend. His maternal grandparents were Marcus Aurelius and Faustina the Younger. Through his mother, Severus Proculus was a relative to the ruling Nerva–Antonine dynasty of the Roman Empire and among his maternal aunts and uncles were the Roman Empress Lucilla and Roman Emperor Commodus.

Severus Proculus was born and raised in Pompeiopolis. It is unknown whether if he ever became a follower of the philosophic ideas of his father and grandfather. When Marcus Aurelius died in 180, Commodus succeeded him.
