Quintus Camurius Numisius Junior

Quintus Camurius Numisius Junior was a Roman senator active during the later second century AD. He was suffect consul for a nundinium in the first half of the year 161 as the colleague of Marcus Annius Libo.[1]

His gentilicium Camurius points to a connection with the Trajanic equites C. Camurius C. f. Clemens.[2] While some authorities believe Numisius Junior was descended from the equites, Olli Salomies in his monograph on Imperial Roman naming practices believes it is more likely he was adopted by a brother of Clemens than Clemens himself.[3] A number of inscriptions with his name at Attidium in Umbria indicate that city was his home. One mentions a woman who might be his wife, Stertinia L.f. Cocceia Bassula Venecia Aeliana Junior, and a man who might be his son, Quintus Cornelius Flaccus [Stertinus?] Noricus Numisius [Junior?].[4] Anthony Birley believes his wife Stertinia was a descendant of Lucius Stertinius Noricus, consul in 113.[5]
