Quintus Aurelius Pactumeius Fronto was a Roman senator active during the first century AD.
He was suffect consul for the nundinium September-October 80 as the colleague of Lucius Aelius Lamia Plautius Aelianus.
[1] Fronto is the earliest documented person from North Africa to accede to the Roman consulate, although his brother Quintus Aurelius Pactumeius Clemens, the date of whose consulship is not known but is around the same time, could be earlier; a stamp on an amphora found in Pompeii dates the ceramic to the consulate of "Marcellus and Pactumeius".
[2] The mystery lies in an inscription from Cirta set up by Pactumeia, daughter of one of these brothers, but the name of her father is damaged, and the traces could fit either man.
Mireille Corbier, in her monograph on financial administrators of the Roman Empire, explains their gentilica as the result of a testamentary adoption by a Quintus Aurelius.
