Quintus Fuficius Cornutus was a Roman senator active in the first half of the second century AD, who held a number of offices in the emperor's service.
He was suffect consul for the nundinium April-June AD 147 with Aulus Claudius Charax as his colleague.
[3] Restoration of the inscription assumes it recorded which of the four boards of the vigintiviri Cornutus held, namely the quattuorviri viarum curandarum, which oversaw the maintenance of the roads of the city of Rome.
Valerie Maxfield lists two possible occasions on which this could have happened: "the bellum Iudaicum of A.D. 132-5 in which C. Popilius Carus Pedo, consul the same year as Cornutus, was decorated"; or the expeditio Britannica during the governorship of Quintus Lollius Urbicus.
Alföldy notes he was one of three men who held this position in a narrow period: Alföldy arranges the three putting Lucius Novius Crispinus (later suffect consul around 150) first, who was replaced by Lucius Coelius Festus, and who was in turn replaced by Cornutus around the year 140; Cornutus is surmised to have remained in this appointment for three years.
