Seja'nus, L. was praetor A. D. 32. Though a friend of Aelius Sejanus, and probably a kinsman, he was spared by Tiberius. This Sejanus, at the celebration of the Floralia, employed only baldheaded persons to perform the ceremonies, which were prolonged to the evening, and the spectators were lighted out of the theatre by five thousand children, with torches in their hands and their heads shaved. This was done to ridicule Tiberius, who was bald at the top of his head. The emperor affected to know nothing of this insult. It became a fashion, in consequence of this affair, to call bald persons Sejani. (Dio Cassius, 58.19.) [G.L]

Q. Servaeus was appointed to the government of Commagene in the reign of Tiberius, A. D. 18, having been previously praetor. He was a friend of Germanicus, and after the death of the latter was one of the accusers of Cn. Piso, in A. D. 20 [Piso, No. 23.] He was involved in the fall of Sejanus, was accused and condemned, but saved himself by turning informer, A. D. 32. (Tac. Ann. 2.56, 3.13, 6.7.)

Sila'nus, Ju'nius 11. App. Junius Silanus, was consul A. D. 28 with P. Silius Nerva. He was accused of majestas in A. D. 32, but was saved by Celsus, one of the informers. Claudius soon after his accession recalled Silanus from Spain, of which he was at that time governor, gave him in marriage Domitia Lepida, the mother of his wife Messalina, and treated him otherwise with the greatest distinction. But shortly afterwards, having refused the embraces of Messalina, he was put to death by Claudius on the accusations of Messalina and Narcissus, both of whom said that they had in their dreams seen Silanus attempting to murder the emperor. (Tac. Ann. 4.68, 6.9, 11.29; Suet. Cl. 29, 37; D. C. 60.14, who calls him Caius Appius Silanus.) One of the sons of Appius is called by Tacitus (13.1) the abnepos or greatgreat-grandson of Augustus. It would therefore appear that App. Silanus married Aemilia Lepida, the proneptis or great-granddaughter of Augustus. The genealogy would therefore stand thus

C. 58.2.) Livia's death gave Sejanus and Tiberius free scope, for Tiberius never entirely released himself from a kind of subjection to his mother, and Sejanus did not venture to attempt the overthrow of Livia's influence. The destruction of Agrippina and her children was now the chief purpose of Sejanus, who had his own ambitious projects to serve, as it is shown in his life [SEJANUS; AGRIPPINA]; he finally got from the tyrant the reward that was his just desert, an ignominious death. In A. D. 32 Latinius Latiaris, the infamous accuser of Sabinus, was executed. Cotta Messalinus, a notorious scoundrel, was accused before the senate. but Tiberius wrote to them in his favour. This memorable letter (Tac. Ann. 4.6) began with an admission, the truth of which will not surprise any one; but it is somewhat singular, that so profound a dissembler as Tiberius could not keep to himself the consciousness of his own wretchedness : "What to write to you, P. C., or how to write, I know not; and wh

Togo'nius Gallus a senator, proposed in A. D. 32 that Tiberius should choose twenty senators, who should accompany him as a bodyguard as often as he went into the senate, a proposition which only made Togonius ridiculous, as it was well known that Tiberius intended never to return to Rome.
