Quintus Fabius Catullinus

Quintus Fabius Catullinus was a Hispano-Roman politician and senator in the second century AD.

Career

In 128 AD, Catullinus was appointed Legate of Legio III Augusta in Numidia when the Emperor Hadrian visited the province. At that time he dedicated two altars to "Jupiter the most excellent" and "To the mighty Winds of Good Weather", when the rains came after a long drought during the Emperor's visit. The Emperor praised Catullinus' training of his soldiers.[1]

In 130 AD, he was elected consul together with Marcus Flavius Aper as his colleague.[2]
