Marcus Claudius Fronto (killed in battle AD 170) was a Roman senator and Consul, and a general in the Imperial Roman army during the reigns of emperors Antoninus Pius (r.138-61) and Marcus Aurelius (r. 161-80). == Sources == Despite his important military role under Marcus Aurelius, Fronto's existence is only known from two inscriptions, both of which contain a summary of his career: # CIL III 1457, a dedication to Fronto (possibly on the base of a statue), when he was governor of Dacia in 168–170, by the citizens of Colonia Traiana Sarmizegethusa, a Roman colony, in which he is praised as "patron, bravest of men, most generous of governors" (''patrono fortissimo viro amplissimo praeside'')〔CIL III 01457〕 # CIL VI 41142, an epitaph engraved on the plinth of his statue, erected in his honour in the Forum of Trajan in Rome.〔CIL VI 41142〕 The lack of mention of Fronto in surviving literary sources for this period is unsurprising, as they are extremely sparse and fragmentary. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marcus Claudius Fronto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
