Quintus Plautius

Quintus Plautius was a Roman senator, who was active during the Principate. He was consul ordinarius for the year 36 as the colleague of Sextus Papinius Allenius.[1] Nothing more is known about his senatorial career.

He was the son of Aulus Plautius suffect consul in 1 BC, and Vitellia, the great-aunt of the future Roman emperor Vitellius. Quintus had an older brother, Aulus Plautius suffect consul in 29 and conqueror of Roman Britain, and a sister who has been identified as the wife of Publius Petronius consul in 19.[2] Although the name of his wife is not known, Quintus Plautius has been identified as the father of Plautius Lateranus, who was executed the year before he was designated to accede to be consul.
