3 unusual facts about Arulenus Rusticus


Arulenus Rusticus

He was Tribune of the plebs in AD 66, in which year Thrasea was condemned to death by the Roman Senate; and he would have placed his veto upon the senatus consultum, had not Thrasea prevented him, as he would only have brought certain destruction upon himself without saving the life of the defendant.

He attained a very late consulship in AD 92 under Domitian, but in the following year was condemned to death because of his panegyric on Thrasea.
