Sextus Octavius Fronto was a Roman senator and a military figure, who held a number of offices in the emperor's service.
He was suffect consul in the nundinium of May to August 86 with Tiberius Julius Candidus Marius Celsus as his colleague.
[1] Martial addressed one of his epigrams to Fronto, wherein he describes Fronto as "an ornament of military and civil life".
[3] Only fragments of the cursus honorum of Fronto are known.
For the praetorian portion of his career, he is known to have been legatus legionis or commander of Legio I Adiutrix, while for the consular portion Fronto is known to have been governor of Lower Moesia; Werner Eck dates his tenure from the years 89 to 93.
