Lucius Venuleius Apronianus Octavius Priscus was a Roman senator active during the first half of the second century AD.
Priscus has his origins in Pisa; not only were both the fragmentary inscriptions (one lost) used to define his career found in that city,[2] a lead pipe stamped with his name proves he owned property in the town.
[1] From his cursus honorum there are details that support this assertion:[6] Priscus began his career as one of the tresviri monetalis, the most prestigious of the four boards that comprise the vigintiviri; appointment to this board was usually allocated to patricians or favored individuals.
[7] His service as prefect of the feriae Latinae preceded his term as quaestor, possibly attached to the Roman emperor, most likely Hadrian.
However, that he was commissioned legatus legionis or commander of Legio I Italica (dated to c. 143–144), is unusual for a patrician by the mid-second century.
