Antoninus was born near Lanuvium (modern-day Lanuvio in Italy) to Titus Aurelius Fulvus, consul in 89, and Arria Fadilla.[2][5] The Aurelii Fulvi were an Aurelian family settled in Nemausus (modern Nîmes).[6] Titus Aurelius Fulvius was the son of a senator of the same name, who, as legate of Legio III Gallica, had supported Vespasian in his bid to the Imperial office and been rewarded with a suffect consulship, plus an ordinary one under Domitian in 85. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-733.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-733.txt
