Quintus Volusius Saturninus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quintus Volusius Saturninus was a Roman that lived in the 1st century and was a Roman senator during the reign of Nero and was consul in 56. He was the son of the prominent senator Lucius Volusius Saturninus who received a state funeral under Nero. Emperor Caligula's third wife, Lollia Paulina was his father's paternal cousin.

In 61, he carried out duties as a censor in Gaul, together with Titus Sextius Africanus and Marcus Trebellius Maximus. Saturninus and Africanus were rivals, and both hated Trebellius Maximus, who took advantage of their rivalry to get the better of them.^[1] Tacitus describes him as a man of 'aristocratic status'. Saturninus was probably also the father or grandfather to the younger Quintus Volusius Saturninus who was a senator and consul in 92 during the reign of Domitian.
