Lucius Valerius Proculus was a Roman eques who held a number of military and civil appointments during the reigns of the Emperors Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius.
It is likely his commission with the VII Claudia coincided with that of his brother, Gaius Valerius Florinum;[2] Dessau argues for this relationship based on the shared praenomen of their fathers (Lucius) and tribe (Quirina).
First was as praefectus annonae, or overseer of the grain supply of Rome; he held this position from 142 to 144.
[3] The second was the related but more prestigious post of prefect or governor of Roman Egypt, which he held from 144 to 147.
[4] Apparently after concluding his service in Egypt, Valerius Proculus retired to Málaga, for the inscription that details his career was set up to honor him and his wife Valeria Lucilla as civic patrons.
