Veiento, Fabri'cius Works Codicilli was accused in the reign of Nero, A. D. 62, because he had published many libels against the fathers and the priests in books to which he had given the name of Codicilli ; and his accuser Fabius Geminus added that he had sold the honours which the emperor was accustomed to grant. Nero thereupon banished him from Italy and ordered his books to be burnt. He is probably the same as the A. Fabricius, whom Dio Cassius mentions as praetor in the reign of Nero. (Tac. Ann. 14.50; D. C. 61.6.) Veiento afterwards returned to Rome, and became in the reign of Domitian one of the most infamous informers and flatterers of that tyrant. He also enjoyed the intimate friendship of Nerva. Aurelius Victor says that Veiento held the consulship under Domitian ; but his name does not occur in the Fasti, nor is his consulship mentioned by any other ancient writer. Further Information Juv. 3.185, 4.113, 6.113, Plin. Ep. 4.22 ; Aurel. Vict. Epit. 12; Plin. Ep. 9.13.

, and as he had no war to carry on, he formed the project, in order that his soldiers might not remain idle, of connecting the Mosella(Moselle) and the Arar (Saone) by a canal, by which means a water communication would be established between the Mediterranean and the Northern Ocean, as troops could be conveyed down the Rhone and the Saone into the Moselle through the canal, and down the Moselle into the Rhine, and so into the Ocean. The daughter of Vetus was married to Rubellius Plautus; and when Nero resolved upon the death of the latter in A. D. 62, his father-in-law pressed him to take up arms against the emperor. [PLAUTUS, p. 411b.] Plautus was put to death, but Vetus escaped for a time. Three years later, A. D. 65, the tyrant resolved upon his death, and Vetus accordingly anticipated his sentence by opening his veins in the bath. His mother-in-law Sextia and his daughter Pollutia likewise opened their veins and perished along with him. (Tac. Ann. 13.11, 53, 14.57, 58, 16.10, 11.)
