Ge'minus, Fu'fius In B. C. 35, when Octavianus, after subduing the Pannonians, retired to Rome, he left Fufius Geminus, with a part of his army, behind in Pannonia. Soon after the departure of Octavianus, the Pannonians rose again; but Geminus succeeded in compelling them, by several battles, to remain quiet, although he had at first been driven by them from the town of Siscia. (D. C. 49.36.) He seems to be the same person as the one whom Florus (4.12.8) calls Vibius. Whether he stood in any relation to C. Fufius Geminus, who was consul in A. D. 29, is unknown. (Tac. Ann. 5.1.) [L.S]

[PIso, No. 23], was probably the daughter of L. Munatius Plancus, consul B. C. 42. She possessed all the pride and haughtiness of her hs9band, and while he used every effort to thwart Germanicus, she exerted herself equally to annoy and insult Agrippina. She was encouraged in this conduct by Livia, the mother of the emperor, who hated Agrippina most cordially. On the return of her husband to Rome in A.D. 20, after the death of Germanicus. whom it was believed that she and Piso had poisoned, she was involved in the same accusation as her husband, but was pardoned by the senate in consequence of the entreaties of the empress-mother. As long as the latter was alive, Plancina was safe, and she was suffered to remain unmolested for a few years even after the death of Livia, which took place in A. D. 29. But being accused in A. D. 33, she no longer possessed any hope of escape, and accordingly put an end to her own life. (Tac. Ann. 2.43, 55, 75, 3.9, 15, 17, 6.26; Dio Cass. Ivii. 18, 58.22.)

Alautius 2. A. Plautius, was sent by the emperor Clauditis in A. D. 43 to subdue Britain. As he is called both by Tacitus and Suetonius a man of consular rank, he is perhaps the same as the A. Plautius, who was one of the consules suffecti in A. D. 29. Plautius remained in Britain four years, and subdued, after a severe struggle, the southern part of the island. Vespasian, who was afterwvards emperor. served under him and distinguished himself greatly in the war. In the first campaign Claudius himself passed over to Bitain, and on his return to Rome celebrated a triumph for the victories which he pretended to have gained. Plautius came back to the city in A. D. 47, and was allowed by Claudius the unusual honour of an ovation; and to show the favour in which he was held by the emperor, the latter walked by his side both on his family. way to and his return from the Capitol. When subsequently his wife Pomponia Graecina was accused of religious worship unauthorised by the state, her husb

Fundi. The entrance of the cave suddenly fell in, and crushed some of the slaves; and all the guests, in alarm, tried to make their escape. Sejanus, resting his knees on the couch of Tiberius, and placing his shoulders under the falling rock, protected his master, and was discovered in this posture by the soldiers who came to their relief. After Tiberius had shut himself up in the island of Capreae, Sejanus had full scope for his machinations, and the death of Livia, the mother of Tiberius (A. D. 29), was followed by the banishment of Agrippina and her sons Nero and Drusus. Tiberius at last began to suspect the designs of Sejanus; perhaps he had suspected them for some time, but he had duplicity enough to conceal his suspicions. Josephus states that Antonia, his sister-in-law, informed him by letter of the ambitious views of Sejanus. Tiberius felt that it was time to rid himself of a man who was almost more than a rival. To cover his schemes and remove Sejanus from about him, Tiberiu

while he had placed persons in secret to be witnesses. The villains informed Tiberius of the words of Sabinus, and at the same time of their own treachery. The emperor let the senate know his wishes, and this servile body immediately put Sabinus to death, for which they received the thanks of Tiberius. (Tac. Ann. 4.68.) In this year Tiberius married Agrippina, a daughter of Germanicus, to Cn. Domitius Ahenobarbus, and the result of this union was the emperor Nero [NERO]. The death of Livia (A. D. 29). the emperor's mother, released Tiberius from one cause of anxiety. He had long been tired of her, because she wished to exercise authority, and one object in leaving Rome was to be out of her way. He did not visit her in her last illness, nor come to the funeral, being, as he said, overwhelmed with public affairs, he who neglected all important affairs, and devoted himself to his solitary pleasures. (Tac. Ann. 5.2; D. C. 58.2.) Livia's death gave Sejanus and Tiberius free scope, for Tiber

Vi'tia the mother of Fufius Geminus, was put to death by Tiberius in A. D. 32, because she had lamented the execution of her son, who had been consul in A. D. 29. (Tac. Ann. 6.10, comp. 5.1.)
