He belonged to prominent family in Dacia (Ardevan 1993). His father, Cominius Celerinus was an equestrian and 'tribunus legionis' and served as 'pontifex' of Sarmizegetusa (CIL 03, 01473 = IDR 3.2, 371). Cominius Quintus was municipal 'pontifex' and twice 'quinquennalis' of Sarmizegetusa, and served as 'praefectus quinquennalis' (CIL 03, 1497 = IDR 3.2, 107) for Marcus Aurelius (who had accepted the nomination as 'magister quinquennalis' of the city). He was co-opted patron of the 'collegium fabrum' and the city council erected an honorary statue for him. Eventually he became provincial 'sacerdos Arae Augustae' (CIL 3, 7513 = IDR 3.2, 108) He is further documented a co-founder with his wife, Antonia Valentina, of a temple in honour of Dea Regina (CIL 03, 07907 = IDR 3.2, 19) for the well-being ('salus) of Claudia Valentina (Antonia Valentina's mother). On his family and career see Ardevan 1981 ; 1993 ; Daicoviciu 1966.
