SORANUS, BAREA

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 430 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SORANUS, BAREA , Roman senator, lived in the reign of Nero. His gentile name was possibly Servilius. In 52 he was
consul
  suffectus, and (perhaps in 61) proconsul of
Asia
 . The upright and considerate manner in which he treated the provincials won him their affection, but at the same time brought upon him the hatred of Nero, who
felt
  specially aggrieved because
Soranus
  had refused to punish a city which had defended the statues of its gods against the Imperial commissioners.
Soranus
  was accused of intimacy with Rubellius
Plautus
  (another
object
  of Nero's hatred), and of endeavouring to obtain the goodwill of the provincials by treasonable intrigues. One of the
chief
  witnesses against him was Egnatius Celer of Berytus, his client and former tutor. Soranus was condemned to death (in 65 or 66), and committed
suicide
 . His daughter Servilia, who was charged with having consulted the sorcerers, professedly in regard to her father's fate, but in reality with evil designs against the emperor, was involved in his downfall. The accuser, who was condemned to death in the reign of Vespasianfor his conduct on this occasion, is a
standing
  example of ingratitude and treachery.
Tacitus, Annals, xvi. 30, 32; Hist. iv. ro; Juvenal iii. 116; Die
Cassius
  lxii. 26.
