Gaius Cornelius Rarus Sextius Naso
Late first century Roman senator and consul From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gaius Cornelius Rarus Sextius Naso was a Roman senator active during the last half of the first century AD. He was suffect consul for the nundinium September to December 93 with [...]lis as his colleague;[1] the colleague may be Marcus Tuccius Cerialis, a suffect consul in an otherwise unknown year to whom Pliny the Younger wrote a letter full of tips on delivering a speech.[2]
The existence of Cornelius Rarus is known only through a single inscription of the second century that apparently adorned the Arch of Trajan in Leptis Magna, which is badly damaged.[3] He was proconsular governor of Africa in 108/109,[4] when construction of the Arch began; it was completed during the tenure of his successor, Quintus Pomponius Rufus.[5]
Cornelius Rarus was also a member of the prestigious collegium of quindecimviri sacris faciundis.[3]
