Aelius, Caesar, July or August 136 - 1 January 138 A.D.
|Aelius|, |Aelius,| |Caesar,| |July| |or| |August| |136| |-| |1| |January| |138| |A.D.|, "Lucius Aelius Caesar was born about 104 into an old Etruscan family and at birth was given the name of his grandfather and father, Lucius Ceionius Commodus. His grandfather and father had served as consuls, in 78 and 106 respectively. Aelius was married sometime before 130 to Domitia Lucilla, who was the daughter of Nigrinus, one of the four distinguished men whom the Senate had condemned to death for high treason at the commencement of Hadrian's reign at the urging of Attianus, Hadrian's Praetorian Praefect. Aelius became a praetor in 130, and on December 5 of that year his son Lucius Verus was born. In addition to Lucius Verus, Aelius and Domitia Lucilla had several daughters, of whom two are known by name, Ceionia and Fabia. Fabia was later engaged to Marcus Aurelius, but the engagement was broken." - Moneta Historical Reference
