Biography
Egnatius Proculus was a member of the second and third century {{lang|la|gens Egnatia}}, and it has been speculated that he was the son of Aulus Egnatius Priscillianus, a Roman philosopher.Settipani, Christian, {{lang|fr|Continuité gentilice et continuité sénatoriale dans les familles sénatoriales romaines à l'époque impériale}} (2000), pp. 398-400 He is known to have filled a number of posts during his career, but no exact or even approximate dates can be assigned to them.
Between the late second century and early third century, he was appointed {{lang|la|Legatus Aug Africae dioeces(eos) Numidiae}} ('governor of the province of Numidia'), and was {{lang|la|Legatus legionis}} of the Legio VIII Augusta stationed in Germania Superior. He was {{lang|la|Praefectus frumenti dandi}} ('prefect responsible for the distribution of Rome's free grain dole'), as well as {{lang|la|Praefectus aerarii Saturni}} ('prefect in charge of the state treasury').Mennen, p. 100
After his appointment as {{lang|la|suffect consul}} in a nundinium, Egnatius Proculus was appointed {{lang|la|Curator Bovianensium, Albensium Fucentium, Concordiensium}}.
Egnatius Proculus was possibly the brother of Quintus Egnatius Proculus and Lucius Egnatius Victor.
