Lucius Valerius Messalla (consul 280)

(Lucius Valerius) Messalla[1] (fl.

3rd century) was a Roman senator.

Messalla is assumed to be a member of the third century Patrician gens Valeria, possibly the son of Lucius Valerius Poplicola Balbinus Maximus.

[2] In 280 he was appointed consul prior alongside Vettius Gratus.

[3] Christian Settipani has suggested that Valerius Maximus Basilius, praefectus urbi of Rome in 319, was his son.
