Gaius Julius Asper was a Roman politician and senator in the third century AD.
He was promoted to a high position in the Senate due to his learning and intellect.
In 212 AD, he served as consul together with his son, Gaius Julius Camilius Asper.
[2] However, in that same year, Asper fell out of favor and was exiled along with his son on the orders of Caracalla.
Later, he was pardoned and appointed Proconsul of Asia in 217 AD, but the new emperor Macrinus revoked this appointment, citing Asper's old age and illness, installing Quintus Anicius Faustus in his stead.
