Quintus Haterius Antoninus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was suffect consul in the year AD 53 as the colleague of Decimus Junius Silanus Torquatus.[1]
Antoninus was the only child to Domitia Lepida the Elder and Decimus Haterius Agrippa, consul in 22.[2] His paternal grandfather was the influential orator and senator Quintus Haterius; Ronald Syme suggests that his paternal grandmother was the daughter of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and Caecilia Attica.[3] Sabina Tariverdieva believes her to be the daughter of Agrippa's sister Vipsania Polla.[4]
By the year 58 Antoninus had squandered his inheritance through extravagances, when emperor Nero gave him a yearly stipend of 500,000 sesterces; Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinus and Aurelius Cotta, who had likewise squandered their inheritances, also received yearly stipends from the emperor.[5] According to Seneca the Younger, Haterius Antoninus was considered by some as a professional legacy hunter.[6]
