Who is Gaius Pomponius Graecinus?

Gaius Pomponius Graecinus was a Roman politician who was suffect consul in 16. He was probably a novus homo raised to the Senate by Augustus. He was a friend and patron of the poet Ovid, who addressed three letters of his Epistulae ex Ponto to him c. 10.

Pomponia Graecina, wife of Aulus Plautius, was probably his daughter or granddaughter. His brother, Lucius Pomponius Flaccus, was consul in 17 and later imperial Syrian governor in 35.
