About Libo Rupilius Frugi

Lived AD 1 – 101 (aged 99–100). Libo Rupilius Frugi was a Roman politician.

Libo Rupilius Frugi (died 101) was a Roman senator and an ancestor of the emperor Marcus Aurelius. He served as suffect consul in 88.

Life His full name may have been Lucius Scribonius Libo Rupilius Frugi. He was one of the sons and among the children born to Marcus Licinius Crassus Frugi (consul 64) with his wife Sulpicia Praetextata, daughter of the suffect consul in 46, Quintus Sulpicius Camerinus Peticus had been a consul in 87. After the death of his father, his mother took him with his siblings, to a Senate meeting in 70 early in the reign of Vespasian, seeking vengeance for his father's death.

The Augustan History states that Frugi was of consular rank and refers to him as a former consul. Frugi served as a suffect consul in 88. He has been identified with the ex-consul "Libo Frugi" whom Pliny the Younger reports as speaking aggressively in the Senate concerning the case of Norbanus Licinianus.

Family Frugi was father of Rupilia Faustina, the paternal grandmother of Marcus Aurelius. Historians Christian Settipani and Strachan have proposed that Faustina's mother was instead Vitellia Galeria Fundania, daughter of emperor Vitellius.
