Gaius Vettius Gratus Atticus Sabinianus

Gaius Vettius Gratus Atticus Sabinianus (fl. 3rd century) was a Roman senator who was appointed consul in AD 242.

Biography A member of the newly established Patrician Gens Vettii, Atticus Sabinianus was probably the son of Gaius Vettius Gratus Sabinianus who was a Roman consul in AD 221. His career followed almost exactly that of his father's. After serving as the Quattuorvir viarum curandum (responsible for the upkeep of Rome's important roads) in around AD 228, he then had a brief turn in the military, serving as the sevir equitum Romanorum (or commander) of the 3rd Turmae.

Returning to Rome, Atticus Sabinianus was selected as an imperial candidate for the office of quaestor in around AD 234, followed by his nomination for the office of praetor, probably around AD 239. He was possibly appointed to the role of Praefectus frumenti dandi (or Prefect responsible for the distribution of Rome's free grain dole) in around AD 240.
