Biography
Messalla is assumed to be a member of the third century Patrician Gens Valeria, possibly the son of Lucius Valerius Poplicola Balbinus Maximus. In AD 280 he was appointed consul prior alongside Vettius Gratus.
Christian Settipani has suggested that Lucius Valerius Maximus Basilius, Praefectus Urbi of Rome in AD 319, was his son.
