Gaius Cornelius Rarus Sextius Naso
Gaius Cornelius Rarus Sextius Naso was a Roman senator active during the last half of the first century AD. He was suffect consul for the nundinium September–December 93 with lis as his colleague; the colleague may be Marcus Tuccius Cerialis, a suffect consul in an otherwise unknown year to whom Pliny the Younger wrote a letter full of tips on delivering a speech.
The existence of Cornelius Rarus is known only through a single inscription of the second century that apparently adorned the Arch of Trajan in Leptis Magna, which is badly damaged. He was proconsular governor of Africa in 108/109, when construction of the Arch began; it was completed during the tenure of his successor, Quintus Pomponius Rufus.
Cornelius Rarus was also a member of the prestigious collegia of quindecimviri sacris faciundis.
