Marcus Ulpius Leurus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marcus Ulpius Leurus was a Roman senator, who was active during the reign of Septimius Severus and Caracalla.
He was suffect consul in some undetermined nundinium in their reigns.[1] He is known entirely from inscriptions, which report little more about his cursus honorum than his consulate.
Leurus had his origins in Thessaly, then part of the province of Macedonia;[2] his gentilicium suggests he is descended from a man who obtained Roman Citizenship in the time of Trajan. Leurus is attested as having married Flavia Habroea; John H. Oliver has traced her paternal lineage, consisting of a number of prominent men of Hypata, for three generations.[3] Together they had a son, Marcus Ulpius Eubiotus Leurus, also a suffect consul around the year 230.[1]
