Quintus Ninnius Hasta

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quintus Ninnius Hasta was a Roman senator, who was active during the reign of Trajan. He was consul in 114 with Publius Manilius Vopiscus Vicinillianus as his colleague.[1] He is known entirely from inscriptions.

The Ninnii appear to be a family with their origins in Italy;[2] Ronald Syme is certain this family arose in Campania.[3] Hasta has been identified as the son of the homonymous , and possibly the father of , consul in 160. He is mentioned in Justinian's Digest as a proconsular governor, but it is unclear whether the province was Asia or Africa.[4] Syme, noting there is only four gaps in the series of governors of Asia from the year 100 to 138, and provides names for all but the term 127/128, assigns Hasta the proconsulate of Africa for the otherwise vacant term 128/129.[5]
