Marcus Pompeius Macrinus Neos Theophanes was a Roman senator of the second century who held several imperial appointments.
The descendants of the original Theophanes had fallen into the disfavor of the emperor Tiberius, and in the year 33 AD many were forced to commit suicide or driven into exile.
[4] The earliest office mentioned in this inscription was the quaestor, which he is said to have served in Bithynia and Pontus; Werner Eck dates his quaestorship to 98/100.
This was followed with a commission as legatus legionis or commander of Legio VI Victrix, which was stationed at Novaesium (modern Neuss) on the Rhine frontier, which he held for about three years.
Either during his tenure or after he stepped down from the consulate, he was admitted to the Quindecimviri sacris faciundis, a collegium entrusted to care for the Sibylline Books.
