Frugi served as a consul under the
Roman emperor Augustus in 14 BC, during the
Roman Empire. An inscription from the
Balearic islands indicates he was governor of
Hispania Tarraconensis around 10 BC. Another document shows he was
proconsular governor of
Africa for the term 9/8 BC. Frugi's father is unknown; however, he may have been Marcus Pupius Piso Frugi (who may have been
praetor in 44 BC and could have been a
legatus in 40 BC), and his paternal grandfather was
Marcus Pupius Piso Frugi Calpurnianus, consul in 61 BC. Frugi, by a wife whose name is unknown, had a son called
Marcus Licinius Crassus Frugi, who served as consul in 27 who married
Scribonia, a descendant of the triumvir
Pompey, and a daughter called Licinia who married the consul of 27,
Lucius Calpurnius Piso. ==Sources==
