Marcus Cutius Priscus Messius Rusticus Aemilius Papus Arrius Proculus Julius Celsus (known by the short name Marcus Aemilius Papus) was a Roman senator who held a series of offices in the emperor's service.
[3] Elements in the name of a military tribune of Legio II Adiutrix, Gaius Julius Pisibanus Maximus Aemilius Papus, son of Gaius Julius Pisibanus, suffect consul in 141, suggests his mother (presumably named Aemilia Papa) is somehow related to Papus, either as his sister[4] or his daughter.
This was followed by his commission as a military tribune with Legio III Augusta, stationed in Mauritania; Mireille Corbier dates this between the years 110 and 125.
[7] After completing three years with the legion, Papus advanced through the traditional Republican magistracies: quaestor, which he served in Africa, plebeian tribune, and peregrine praetor.
[5] Having achieved the rank of ex-praetor, Papus was then qualified to hold a number of substantial offices.
