Lucius Fundanius Lamia Aelianus was a Roman senator active in the reigns of Trajan and Hadrian.

Life

He was ordinary consul in 116 with Sextus Carminius Vetus as his colleague. He was later proconsular governor of Asia during 131 and 132.[1]

Lamia Aelianus was possibly the son of the empress Domitia Longina and Lucius Aelius Lamia Plautius Aelianus[2][3] or their maternal grandson through a daughter Plautia and her husband a Lucius Fundanius, son of a Lucius Fundanius.[4][5] Ronald Syme identifies Lamia Aelianus as the brother of the surmised but undocumented Plautia, who was married three times, and whose children married into the Antonine dynasty.[6]

He married Fabia Barbara, daughter of Quintus Fabius Barbarus AntoniusMacer, and had two known children, a son and a daughter. His son was Lucius Plautius Lamia Silvanus, consul in 145. His daughter was Fundania, whose existence is inferred from the name of Annia Fundania Faustina, daughter of Marcus Annius Libo, consul in 128, and thus Libo's wife.[7]
