SEP. Q. HATERII

SEP. Q. HATERII
the tomb of a Q. Haterius, perhaps the orator who
died in 26 A.D. (Pros. ii. 126. 17), on the via Nomentana. It was
covered by one of the towers which Honorius built outside the porta
Nomentana, and the excavations of 1827 brought to light fragments
that showed it to have been a rectangular monument, surmounted with
a sort of altar with volutes (CIL vi. 1426, and description cited from
Memorie Romane iii. 456; HJ 383; Jord. i. I. 344; PBS iii. 38; Homo,

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.)

consul A. D. 25, died A. D. 26, was descended from a family more illustrious than ancient, and did not disgrace it by his mode of life. (Tac. Ann. 4.34, 61.)

A'tticus, Cu'rtius
a Roman knight, was one of the few companions whom Tiberius took with him when he retired from Rome to Capreae in A. D. 26. Six years afterwards, A. D. 32, Atticus fell a victim to the arts of Sejanus. (Tac. Ann. 4.58, 6.10.)
He is supposed by Lipsius to be the same as the Atticus to whom two of Ovid's Epistles from Pontus (2.4, 7) are addressed.

Ba'rea Soranus
must not be confounded with Q. Marcius Barea, who was consul suffectus in A. D. 26.
The gentile name of Barea Soranus seems to have been Servilius, as Servilia was the name of his daughter. Soranus was consul suffectus in A. D. 52 under Claudius, and afterwards proconsul of Asia.
By his justice and zeal in the administration of the province he incurred the hatred of Nero, and was accordingly accused by Ostorius Sabinus, a Roman knight, in A. D. 66.
The charges brought against him were his intimacy with Rubellius Plautus [PLAUTUS], and the design of gaining over the province of Asia for the purpose of a revolution. His daughter Servilia was also accused for having given money to the Magi, whom she had consulted respecting her father's danger: she was under twenty years of age, and was the wife of Annius Pollio, who had been banished by Nero. Both Soranus and his daughter were condemned to death, and were allowed to choose the mode of their execution.
The chief witness ag
Clau'dia
13. Claudia Pulchra, lived in the reign of Tiberius. In A. D. 26, to prepare the way for the accusation of Agrippina, she was brought to trial by Domitius Aper, and convicted of adultery, poisoning, and conspiracy against the emperor. (Tac. Ann. 4.52; D. C. 59.19.)
She is the last member of this family whose name occurs in history.

C. Fur'nius
3. Son of the preceding, consul B. C. 17.
He reconciled Augustus to his father, C. Furnius, who had been up to B. C. 31 a staunch adherent of M. Antonius. (Senec. Benefic. 2.25.)
It is doubtful whether the Furnius put to death by the senate in the reign of Tiberius, A. D. 26, for adultery with Claudia Pulchra, be the same person. (Tac. Ann. 4.52.) [W.B.D]
Lentulus
41. CN. CORNELIUS COSSI F. CN. N. LENTULUS GAETULICUS. a son of No. 39, was consul A. D. 26, with C. Calvisius Sabinus.
He afterwards had the command of the legions of Upper Germany for ten years, and was very popular among the troops, by the mildness of his punishments and his merciful rule.
He was also a favourite with the army in Lower Germany, which was commanded by L. Apronius, his father-in-law. His influence with the soldiers is said to have saved him on the fall of Sejanus, to whose son he had promised his daughter.
He was the only one of the relations and connections of Sejanus whom Tiberius did not put to death; and Tacitus is disposed to believe the report, that Lentulus sent to the emperor to assure him of his allegiance, as long as he was allowed to retain the command of the army, but intimating that he would raise the standard of revolt, if he were deprived of his province. Tiberius thought it more prudent to leave him alone; but Caligula, thinking his influence
