Marcus Hirrius Fronto Neratius Pansa was a Roman senator who held several posts in the emperor's service.
The origins of the gens Neratia lie in the Italian town of Saepinum in the heart of Samnium.
[3] A fragmentary inscription recovered from Saepinum allows us to reconstruct his cursus honorum from that point, with his adlection into the patrician class around 73/74.
[4] Then, after his consulship, Pansa was assigned in 74/75 to administer a census in a place called regio X: Mario Torelli believed this referred to a portion of the province of Cappadocia, which was at the time being organized; however, the editors of L'Annee Epigraphique note that it could also refer to Regio X Venetia et Histria in Roman Italy, where the Hirrii originated.
[4] Either with his accession to the suffect consul, or between the completion of his campaign in the East and his next assignment as governor, Pansa was co-opted into the Quindecimviri sacris faciundis.
