Editing Frontinus (section)

== Family ==
Due to a lack of either a ''[[Titulus (inscription)|titulus]] honorarius'' or ''sepulcralis'', there is no outline of Frontinus' life, the names of his parents, or of his wife. Some details can be inferred from chance mentions: He is thought to be of [[Gallia Narbonensis|Narbonese]] origins, and originally of the [[equites|equestrian class]].<ref>William McDermott, [https://www.jstor.org/stable/44080105 "Stemmata quid faciunt? The descendants of Frontinus"], ''Ancient Society'', 7 (1976), p. 255</ref> From the nomenclature of the name of [[Publius Calvisius Ruso Julius Frontinus]] (consul c. 84), it is likely Frontinus had a sister, who was the other's mother.<ref>Ronald Syme, [https://www.jstor.org/stable/20184085 "P. Calvisius Ruso. One Person or Two?"], ''[[Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik]]'', 56 (1984), pp. 190f</ref> Frontinus had at least one daughter, the wife of [[Quintus Sosius Senecio]] (cos. 99, II 107) and mother of Sosia Polla.<ref>McDermott, "Stemmata quid faciunt?", p. 254</ref>
