Titus Quinctius Crispinus Sulpicianus (fl. 1st century BC) was a Roman senator who was appointed Roman consul in 9 BC. ==Biography== Crispinus Sulpicianus was of Patrician descent, and he was either the biological son of a Sulpicius who was adopted by a Titus Quinctius (otherwise unknown), or the son of a Titus Quinctius and a Sulpicia.〔Syme, pg. 57〕 Crispinus Sulpicianus’ career is largely unknown; by 18 BC he was a ''triumvir monetalis'', and in 9 BC, he was elected Roman consul, serving alongside Augustus' stepson Nero Claudius Drusus. During his consulship, he secured passage of the ''lex Quinctia'', which provided penalties for damage to aqueducts It was also during his consulship that the ''Ara Pacis'' was inaugurated in the Campus Martius. Velleius Paterculus characterized Crispinus Sulpicianus as "useless and defiant", and accused him of “unique depravity disguised by forbidding eyebrows”.〔Velleius Paterculus, ''Compendium of Roman History'' 2,100,5〕 A supporter of Iullus Antonius, he was accused of being one of the lovers of Julia the Elder and was either banished from Rome or executed in 2 BC as a result.〔Syme, pgs. 91 & 158〕 It is speculated that Crispinus Sulpicianus had adopted a Valerius, who became Titus Quinctius Crispinus Valerianus, suffect consul in AD 2.〔Syme, pg. 229〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Titus Quinctius Crispinus Sulpicianus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
