Marcus Peducaeus Plautius Quintillus

Marcus Peducaeus Plautius Quintillus

Marcus Peducaeus Plautius Quintillus (died 205) was a Roman politician who lived in the 2nd century and the early 3rd century.

Plautius was the son of the consul Plautius Quintillus and noblewoman Ceionia Fabia. The birth name of Plautius is unknown, he is known by his adoption name. Plautius was born and raised in Rome. At some point, Plautius was adopted by the consul Marcus Peducaeus Stologa Priscinus, who was consul in 141. Through his adopted father, his natural father and mother, he had descended from families to the highest nobility, who were long and illustrious.

Plautius’ paternal grandfather could have been the consul and possible Roman priest Lucius Titius Epidius Aquilinus and his paternal uncle could have been the consul Lucius Titius Plautius Aquilinus. Plautius’ maternal uncle was the Roman Emperor Lucius Verus, who co-ruled with Marcus Aurelius from 161 to 169, his maternal aunt-in-marriage was the Roman Empress Lucilla and his maternal grandparents was Lucius Aelius Verus Caesar, the first adopted heir of Roman Emperor Hadrian and the well connected noblewoman Avidia Plautia.

During the reign of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius (161-180), Plautius married Annia Aurelia Fadilla, one of the daughters of Marcus Aurelius and his wife Faustina the Younger. Fadilla bore Plautius two children: a son (Plautius) Quintillus and a daughter Plautia Servilla.

In 177, Plautius served as consul with his brother-in-law the future Roman Emperor Commodus and then again with Commodus at an unknown date in his reign 180-192. He was also an Augur. When Marcus Aurelius died in 180, Fadilla’s brother Commodus succeeded her father as Emperor. Plautius was one of Commodus’ main advisers.

When Commodus was assassinated in December 192, Plautius was ignored as a potential successor as Roman Emperor and Pertinax briefly assumed the Roman throne. After the murder of Pertinax in 193, Didius Julianus briefly became Roman Emperor with Lucius Septimius Severus becoming his rival to becoming Roman Emperor.

Plautius was against Didius Julianus’ proposal in meeting Septimius Severus’ advancing army as suppliants. When Didius Julianus was murdered, Lucius Septimius Severus became the new Roman Emperor and founded a new Roman Imperial Dynasty. Plautius was living at his country estate continuing his duties as a Roman Senator. In 205, Septimius Severus ordered Plautius’ execution and Plautius committed suicide. It is unknown whether Fadilla was still alive then.
