Gaius Julius Cornutus Tertullus was a prominent Roman citizen, the son of Gaius Julius Cornutus Tertullus though the identity of his mother is unknown. He was born and raised in Perga, the capital of the Roman province of Pamphylia. Unfortunately very little is known on him.

This Tertullus married a Roman woman from Perga called Plancia Magna, who was a prominent citizen and patron of Perga. Magna was the daughter of Roman Senator and Proconsul Marcus Plancius Varus and Herodian Princess Julia. Tertullus and Magna had a son and only child called Gaius Julius Plancius Varus Cornutus.
