Sextus Octavius Fronto
Sextus Octavius Fronto was a Roman senator and a military figure, who held a number of offices in the emperor's service. He was suffect consul in the nundinium of May-August 86 with Tiberius Julius Candidus Marius Celsus as his colleague. Martial addressed one of his epigrams to Fronto, wherein he describes Fronto as "an ornament of military and civil life".
Only fragments of the cursus honorum of Fronto are known. For the praetorian portion of his career, he is known to have been legatus or commander of Legio I Adiutrix, while for the consular portion Fronto is known to have been governor of Lower Moesia; Werner Eck dates his tenure from the year 89 to 93.
