Paullus Aemilius Regulus
Paullus Aemilius Regulus,[1] also known as Paullus Aemilius Regillus[2] and Paullus Aemilius Paulli. f. Regillus[3][4] (flourished in the second half of the 1st century BC and first half of the 1st century), was a Roman Senator.[3]
Regulus was a member of the gens Aemilia. He was the son of the consul and censor Lucius Aemilius Lepidus Paullus (also known as Paullus Aemilius Lepidus)[5] and Claudia Marcella Minor, who was one of the daughters of consul Gaius Claudius Marcellus Minor and Octavia the Younger and thus a niece of the Roman emperor Augustus.[5] From his father’s previous marriage, Regulus had two half-brothers and one half-sister.[6] He was born ca. 15 BC/14 BC.[1] His father died shortly after his birth, and his mother subsequently remarried.[1] Regulus was born and raised in Rome.
Regulus’ political career was contemporaneous with the rule of the Roman emperors Augustus and Tiberius, during which he served as a quaestor.[7] During the reign of Tiberius (14 to 37), Regulus was one of the emperor's comites,[4] an imperial legate and proconsul[4] of a Roman province. According to inscriptional evidence, Regulus was patron of Saguntum.[3][4] His wife's name has been recorded as being Marcella Paulli.[3][8]
