Gaius Luccius Telesinus was a Roman senator who was active during the first century CE. He was ordinary consul for the year 66 with Gaius Suetonius Paulinus as his colleague.[1] In Philostratus' Life of Apollonius, Telesinus had been depicted as a pious consul conversing with Apollonius of Tyana. He allows Apollonius entry into Rome's temples, his residence there, and adoption of Apollonius' reforms by the temples.[2] According to Philostratus, Telesinus continued to study philosophy under Apollonius.[3]
