Quintus Sulpicius Camerinus Peticus

Quintus Sulpicius Camerinus Peticus (died AD 67) was a Roman senator during the reign of Nero. Peticus served as suffect consul in 46 with Marcus Junius Silanus as his colleague, and as Proconsul of Africa from 56 to 57.[1][2]

Peticus was a member of the gens Sulpicia. He was also a member of the Arval Brethren, and served as president of the Board of Sacrifice in 60.[2] He was charged with extortion but was acquitted by the Emperor Nero.[3] In 67, he was killed with his son Quintus Sulpicius Camerinus Pythicus by Helius while Nero was in Achaea, on the grounds that he refused to give up his cognomen which "allegedly constituted a slight against Nero's victories at the Pythian games."[4] Peticus also had a daughter called Sulpicia Praetextata who married the consul of 64, Marcus Licinius Crassus Frugi.[5]
