Publius Seius Fuscianus

Publius Seius Fuscianus (c. 120 – aft. 189) was a suffect consul c. 151, Praefectus urbi from 187 to 189, and consul ordinarius in 188. He was a childhood friend and schoolmate of Emperor Marcus Aurelius.^[1]

Géza Alföldy notes that Fuscianus and the colleague of his second consulate, , both were "highly qualified" and suggests that they might have been senior members of Marcus Aurelius' command during the Marcomannic Wars.^[2] Anthony Birley suggests that Fuscianus played a role in the preservation and publication of the emperor's Meditations.^[3]
