Gaius Asinius Rufus

Gaius Asinius Rufus (c. 110 – after 136) was a notable in Lydia in 134 and 135 who became a Roman Senator in 136. He was probably the son of Gaius Asinius Frugi (born c. 80), monet. of Phrygia between 98 and 116.

He married Julia, daughter of A. Julius Claudius Charax (c. 115 – after 147), granddaughter of C. Julius Lupus T. Vibius Varus Laevillus (c. 95 – after 132) and wife Julia Quadratilla (born c. 100), and through her great-granddaughter of Gaius Julius Quadratus Bassus (c. 70 – 117), a romanized Galatian, Legate at Judaea between 102/103 and 104/105, Consul of Rome in 105 and Proconsul of Asia in 105, and wife Julia, Princess of Cilicia (born c. 80).

They had the following issue:
