Afer, Domi'tius
of Nemausus (Nismes) in Gaul, was praetor A. D. 25, and gained the favour of Tiberius by accusing Claudia Pulchra, the consobrina of Agrippina, in A. D. 26. (Tac. Ann. 4.52.) From this time he became one of the most celebrated orators in Rome, but sacrificed his character by conducting accusations for the government.
In the following year, A. D. 27, he is again mentioned by Tacitus as the accuser of Varus Quintilius, the son of Claudia Pulchra. (Ann. 4.66.)
In consequence of the accusation of Claudia Pulchra, and of some offence which he had given to Caligula, he was accused by the emperor in the senate, but by concealing his own skill in speaking, and pretending to be overpowered by the eloquence of Caligula, he not only escaped the danger, but was made consul suffectus in A. D. 39. (D. C. 59.19, 20.)
In his old age Afer lost much of his reputation by continuing to speak in public, when his powers were exhausted. (Quint. Inst. 12.11.3; Tac. Ann. 4.52.)

Ca'pito, Fonteius
4. C. Fonteius Capito, a son of C. Fonteius Capito, the friend of M. Antony. [No. 3.] He was consul in A. D. 12, together with Germanicus, and afterwards had, as proconsul, the administration of the province of Asia. Many years later, in A. D. 25, he was accused by Vibius Serenus, apparently on account of his conduct in Asia; but, as no sufficient evidence was adduced, he was acquitted. (Fasti Cap.; Suet. Cal. 8; Tac. Ann. 4.36.)

Lentulus
40. COSSUS CORNELIUS COSSI F. CN. N. LENTULUS, was consul A. D. 25, with M. Asinius Agrippa.
According to the Fasti, he would appear to be a son of the preceding. (Tac. Ann. 4.34; Fasti Cons.)
Ma'rius
12. SEX. MAIRIUS, a man of immense wealth, who possessed gold mines in Spain, and lived in the reign of Tiberius.
He is called by Tacitus Hispaniarum ditissimus. After escaping an accusation in A. D. 25, which Calpurnius Salvianus wished to bring against him, he was condemned to death in A. D. 33, and thrown down the Tarpeian rock, on the pretext of his having committed incest with his daughter, but in reality because the emperor coveted his riches (Tac. Ann. 4.36, 6.19). Dio Cassius, who says that Marius was a friend of Tiberius, and that he was indebted to the emperor for his wealth, gives a different reason for the condemnation of Marius; he relates that the charge of incest was brought against Marius, because he wished to conceal his daughter from the lust of his imperial master. (D. C. 58.22.)
