Lucius Licinius Sura was an influential Roman Senator from Tarraco, a close friend of the Emperor Trajan and three times consul - in a period when three consulates were very rare for non-members of the Imperial family - in AD 97 as a suffect consul,[1] then 102 and 107 as a consul ordinarius.

Pliny the Younger wrote to L. Licinius Sura, asking his opinion on the existence of ghosts.[2]
