A man with this name is thought to have been the owner of the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum due to its extensive collection of Epicurean philosophy, ostensibly purchased for Philodemus by his patron of this name. That man was attacked as a debauchee by Cicero during the latter's feud with Publius Clodius Pulcher. Another man by this name was dispatched to Syria in AD 17, supposedly with secret instructions to thwart the policies of Germanicus. When the latter died, that man was widely suspected of his murder and was forced by Germanicus' allies to stand trial. Before doing so, that man of this name committed suicide under pressure from his patron, Emperor Tiberius, who feared incrimination. For 10 points, Seneca and Petronius were forced to commit suicide in 65 AD along with another man of this name after Nero uncovered a namesake conspiracy.
