Quintus Egnatius Proculus (suffect consul 219)

Quintus Egnatius Proculus was a Roman senator who held the office of suffect consul in AD 219. His full name and career details are not completely established, but his tenure as consul provides the most significant information known about him. He served as suffect consul under the reign of Emperor Elagabalus. Specifics about his life prior to his consulship, or his activities afterward, are largely unknown from surviving historical sources. As a suffect consul, he would have filled a vacancy created by the resignation or death of an ordinary (ordinarius) consul, serving for a portion of the year. The year 219 was marked by the controversial and often scandalous reign of Elagabalus, and Quintus Egnatius Proculus's consulship occurred within this period. Further details about his specific role in the political landscape of the time, or any potential association with Elagabalus's court, remain elusive.
