Marcus Suillius Nerullinus
Marcus Suillius Nerullinus was a
Gaius Antistius Vetus as his colleague.[1]
Nerullinus was the son of
Marcia, second wife of Paullus, with whom she had an affectionate and long-lasting relationship.[3]
Suillius Caesoninus was his brother.
The wealth and power of his father facilitated Nerullinus' advancement through his senatorial career. However, when a number of delatores, after successfully prosecuting his father for mismanagement while proconsular governor of Asia, they then attacked him "on the strength of men's hatred of the father and some charges of extortion. At that point the emperor Nero intervened and ended the prosecution, "as if implying that vengeance was fully satisfied."[4]
