Lucius Aelius Lamia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lucius Aelius Lamia was consul in the year 3 AD and afterwards served as governor of Germania, Pannonia and Africa. In 22 AD he was appointed imperial legate to Syria by Tiberius but was detained in Rome and never traveled to Syria in person. In the last year of his life, 33 AD, he served as praefectus urbi.

Lamia's connection with the prominent Aelii Tuberones (including Aelia Paetina, second wife of the emperor Claudius) is not known.
