Hostilius Firminus
legatus of Marius Priscus, proconsul of the Roman province of Africa in Trajan's reign. He was involved in the charges brought against the proconsul A. D. 101 (comp. Juv. 1.49, 8.120) of extortion and cruelty; and, without being degraded from his rank as senator, he was prohibited the exercise of all senatorial functions. (Plin. Ep. 2.11, 12.)
