Mamercus Aemilius Scaurus

Mamercus Aemilius Scaurus

Mamercus Aemilius Scaurus was a Roman rhetorician, poet and senator, son of Marcus Aemilius Scaurus. He was a member of the senate in 14 AD at the time of Tiberius' accession to the throne.

He first married Aemilia Lepida. Later he married Sextia. He was consul in 21 AD.

He was accused of writing a tragedy, some of the verses of which reflected badly on Tiberius, but adultery and practicing magic were the ostensible charges brought against him.[1]

He committed suicide after he was accused of treason (Law of majestas) in 34 AD.
