He was patron of a large number of Ostian colleges and other collective. Among these we find collegia of navicularii marini and of olearii that must have had connection to the annona urbis, even if these may not have been organised as well as later in the second century. Ciambelli 2016 argues that some of the clientes mentioned cannot have been organised in collegia; in his view the title 'patron' is used in a rather fluid way to indicate the various groups that benefited from Sentius Felix' generosity.
