Lucius Valerius Propinquus

Lucius Valerius Propinquus was a Roman senator active in the second century AD.

[1] His full name was reconstructed by Géza Alföldy from a fragmentary inscription found in Tarraco, Spain,[2] and is thought to be Lucius Valerius Pomponius Granius Grattius [?

Ronald Syme identified his place of origin as Liria in Tarraconensis.

The earliest that can be identified is legatus legionis or commander of Legio VI Victrix, around 120; Anthony Birley is uncertain whether Propinquus held his commission before or after the legion's transfer to Roman Britain in 122, or whether he was the predecessor or successor of Publius Tullius Varro, consul in 127, also known to have commanded the legion around that period.

[6] Propinquus held no further offices until after his consulship, when he was appointed cura alvei Tiberius; also following his consulate, Propinquus was co-opted into the quindecimviri sacris faciundis, one of the major priesthoods of ancient Rome.
