Quintus Pompeius Sosius Priscus was a Roman senator active in the mid-second century AD, who held a number of offices in the emperor's service. Priscus served as ordinary consul for the year 149 as the colleague of Lucius Sergius Salvidienus Scipio Orfitus.[1] His life is known entirely from inscriptions.
Priscus was the son of Quintus Pompeius Falco, consul of 108, and Sosia Polla.[2] Earlier writers had confused him with his son, Quintus Pompeius Senecio Sosius Priscus, but a fragmentary inscription from Rome allowed experts to separate the evidence pertaining to each.[3] By his lifetime, his branch of the Sosii had been granted Patrician status.
