Lucius Aelius Lamia (consul 3)

For his grand-son with the same name, see Lucius Aelius Lamia Plautius Aelianus.

Lucius Aelius Lamia (before 43 BC – AD 33) was a Roman Senator who held a number of offices under Augustus and Tiberius. He was consul in the year AD 3 with Marcus Servilius as his colleague.[1]

Lucius was the son of Lucius Aelius Lamia, a loyal partisan of Cicero who was made praetor in 43 BC but died before completing his term.[2] His connection with the prominent Aelii Tuberones (including Aelia Paetina, second wife of the emperor Claudius) is not known. It is unlikely his father was the same man as Lucius Aelius Tubero, the possible great-grandfather of Aelia Paetina.
