Marcus Nonius Macrinus

Marcus Nonius Macrinus was a Roman senator of the 2nd century AD and Suffektkonsul in the year 154

Various inscriptions indicate that Nonius Macrinus came from the northern Italian Brescia. His senatorial career is known from an inscription that was on the base of a statue, which was erected to him at the Agora in Ephesus in Asia Minor. Accordingly, he was decemvir stlitibus iudicandis, military tribune of a legion, Quaestor, legate in the province of Asia, tribune, praetor, legate of Legio XIV, Suffektkonsul in 154 AD and curator Tiber et alveorum. After his governorship in the province of Pannonia Inferior its Legatur in Pannonia Superior was first tangible by a military diploma on 21 June 159. Then Nonius Macrinus was legate and military companion ( comes ) of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius during the Marcomanni wars ( 166-180 ) and priest of the deified Lucius Verus. In office year 170/171 he was proconsul of the province of Asia, where his statue was erected in Ephesus because of unspecified merits. In addition to the cult College for the late Emperor Verus, in which he was admitted as an amicus the Emperor, he also belonged to the Quindecimviri sacris faciundis.

In 2008, the grave of the Nonius Macrinus has been found during excavations in the north of Rome on the Via Flaminia; the grave inscription fragmentary lists some of the already known from the Ephesian inscription offices. He was married to an Arria. His son Marcus Nonius Arrius Mucianus Manlius Carbo was probably Suffektkonsul under Commodus, and his grandson Marcus Nonius Arrius Mucianus ordinary consul in 201
