Marcus Flavius Aper

Aper's father was Marcus Flavius Aper, whom Ronald Syme has identified as suffect consul for the nundinium July-September 103.^[1] Another Marcus Flavius Aper served as consul in 176 AD; this Aper may be his son -- in which case the younger Aper achieved the consulate late in life -- or his grandson.^[2]

He was appointed Governor of the province of Lycia et Pamphylia, and attested in that position from 125 to 127.^[3] In 130 AD, he was elected ordinary consul together with Quintus Fabius Catullinus as his colleague.
