Quintus Lucretius Vespillo
Roman consul
Quintus Lucretius Vespillo was a Roman senator and consul, whose career commenced during the late Roman Republic and concluded in the reign of emperor Augustus.
He was in the past believed to be the author of the Laudatio Turiae, a tombstone engraved with an epitaph in the form of a husband's eulogy for his wife,[1] but this is rejected by modern scholars.[2]
