Biography

Ronald Syme notes the gentilicum "Saenius" is "patently Etruscan", and suggests some kind of connection between the senator and the town Saenia Julia (modern Siena).[1] He was probably the son of a senator of the same name who had achieved no high offices. Saenius was considered to be one of the men who owed their career completely to Octavian and whom Octavian could use as a tool for his own purposes.

In 30 BC, Saenius was appointed

Lepidus the Younger, against Octavian.[4]
