2nd century Roman aristocrat and politician
Lucius Caesennius Antoninus (c. 95 – after 128) was a Roman aristocrat. He was suffect consul for the nundinium Marcus Annius Libo as his colleague.[1]
His ancestry is uncertain. Ronald Syme stated that it was possible he was the son of Lucius Caesennius Sospes , consul in 114, but in a footnote Syme admitted Antoninus could be the grandson of his brother Lucius Junius Caesennius Paetus , consul in 79.[2]
