Gaius Asinius Rufus

Gaius Asinius Rufus (ca 110 – aft. 136) was a notable in Lydia in 134 and 135 who became a Roman Senator in 136. He was probably the son of Gaius Asinius Frugi (b. ca 80), monet. of Phrygia between 98 and 116.

He married Julia, daughter of A. Julius Claudius Charax (ca 115 – aft. 147), granddaughter of C. Julius Lupus T. Vibius Varus Laevillus (ca 95 – aft. 132) and wife Julia Quadratilla (b. ca 100), and through her great-granddaughter of Gaius Julius Quadratus Bassus (ca 70 – 117), a romanized Galatian, Legate at Judaea between 102/103 and 104/105, Consul of Rome in 105 and Proconsul of Asia in 105, and wife Julia, Princess of Cilicia (b. ca 80).

They had the following issue:

• Gaius Asinius Nicomachus (b. ca. 135), married to his cousin Julia Quadratilla (b. ca 145) (or perhaps to Asinia Marcellina, descendant of the family of Gaius Asinius Pollio), parents of:
  • Gaius Asinius Rufus (b. ca 160)
  • Gaius Asinius Quadratus Protimus (b. ca 165), Proconsul of Achaea ca. 211 or in 220
