Piso

26. L. Calpurnius Piso, the son of No. 24, was consul in A. D. 57 with the emperor Nero, and in A. D. 66 had the charge of the public finances entrusted to him, together with two other consulars. He was afterwards appointed proconsul of Africa, and was slain there in A. D. 76, because it was reported that he was forming a conspiracy against Vespasian, who had just obtained the empire. (Tac. Ann. 13.28, 31, 15.18, Hist. 4.38, 48-50; Plin. Ep. 3.7.)

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
