Notability?

Paring away the genealogical cruft here, it appears that all that can be said of Frugi himself is:

he was a moneyer in Lydia;
he was a descendant of one Nicomachus, of unclear importance;
his son was C. Asinius Rufus, who became a Roman senator.

His son might be notable, beyond being a Roman senator -- although not all Roman senators are notable -- because he married into the family of the Julii Quadrati Bassi, who are mentioned elsewhere not only for their royal ancestry but for their wealth. (Bowersock believes they were as rich as Atticus Herodes of Athens.)

I don't know whether this article should be kept, merged into the one for his son, or simply deleted. -- llywrch (talk) 18:34, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
