Lucius Sergius Paullus (consul 168)

Lucius Sergius Paullus was a Roman senator, who was active during the reign of Marcus Aurelius. He was twice consul: the first time attested 23 September of an unknown year as suffect consul with [? Lucius Nonius Calpurnius] Torquatus Asprenas as his colleague;[1] and as consul ordinarius for 168 as the colleague of Lucius Venuleius Apronianus Octavius Priscus.[2]

Paullus was from the Roman colony of Antioch in Pisidia. It is possible he was the great-grandson of the identically named proconsul of Cyprus in the AD 40s.[3]
