Quintus Cornelius Proculus was a Roman senator, who was active during the middle of the second century AD.
Proculus' full name, Lucius Stertinius Quintillianus Acilius Strabo Quintus Cornelius Rusticus Apronius Senecio Proculus, is attested in an inscription set up by his daughters Cornelia Procula and Cornelia Placida.
[2] In his monograph of naming practices in the first centuries of the Roman Empire, Olli Salomies asserts that the first five elements of his name show that he was adopted by a Lucius Stertinius Quintillianus Acilius Strabo, but notes that "some scholars think that the adoptive father was" Lucius Stertinius Quintillianus Acilius Strabo Gaius Curiatius Maternus Clodius Nummmus, who may be the same person as Gaius Clodius Nummus, suffect consul in 114.
[3] A second inscription the sisters Procula and Placida erected attests to a brother, Quintus Cornelius Senecio Proculus.
[5] The other, based on shared name elements, is Lucius Claudius Proculus Cornelianus, suffect consul in 139.
