Lucius Neratius Priscus (consul 87)

Lucius Neratius Priscus was a Roman senator who held several posts in the emperor's service.

[4] Priscus was adlected inter praetorios into the Roman Senate by Vespasian and Titus in either 73 or 74, most likely for his loyalty during the Year of Four Emperors.

Following his consulship, Priscus was legatus pro praetor, or governor, of the imperial province of Pannonia, which Werner Eck dates from 91 to 94.

Marcellus was adopted by Priscus' childless older brother, Marcus Hirrius Fronto Neratius Pansa, and became his heir.

[6] The short period between his consulship and his son's (AD 97), suggests that the older Priscus was fairly old when he attained this signal rank.
