Sere'nus, Gra'nius

legatus of the emperor Hadrian in Asia, wrote to the latter, remonstrating with him upon the injustice of condemning Christians to death without any definite charge being brought against them. In consequence of this letter Hadrian ordered Minucius Fundanus, the successor of Serenus in Asia, to condemn no Christian unless convicted of some crime. (Oros. 7.13; Euseb. Hist. Eccl. 4.8, 9.)
