	(74) Nero
		By A.D. 65 the cruelty and extravagance for which Nero became notorious, including the murder of his mother, wife, step-brother, and tutor, had made him increasingly hated, and a conspiracy named for its leader, Piso, was formed to depose him.
		Although the conspiracy failed, revolts occurred in various parts of the empire, and in A.D. Nero was forced to commit suicide.
		Nero is reported to have dedicated the dagger that was to have killed him to Jupiter Vindex (Avenger) in the Temple of Jupiter on the Capitol.

	Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus - Nero Claudius Caesar
		More crucially, in his paranoia after the conspiracy he ordered a popular and successful general, Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo, to commit suicide, a decision which left other provincial leaders in doubt about his next move and inclined toward rebellion rather than inaction.
		His enemies had become numerous, and that same year a plot to assassinate Nero and to replace him with Gaius Calpurnius Piso was both formulated and betrayed; among those forced to commit suicide in connection with the Pisonian conspiracy were Seneca, Lucan, Petronius, and Tigellinus' colleague in the prefecture.
		Nero's reign was not without military operations (e.g., the campaigns of Corbulo against the Parthians, the suppression of the revolt of Boudicca in Britain), but his neglect of the armies was a critical error.

	Augustus
		Augustus inherited the leadership of the populares from his adoptive father J. Caesar, and proceeded to coopt the optimates to such an extent that these labels became meaningless; those who refused to cooperate were purged.
		In the year 23, with Augustus back at Rome, there was a serious crisis involving a conspiracy against his life, led by Fannius Caepio and the consul of 23, a Murena.
		There is a conflict in the sources about his identity, and Dio puts the whole affair in 22, but the Fasti support the date of 23, and the consequence, that the adjustment made by Augustus to his constitutional position in that year was a reaction to the crisis of the conspiracy.

		Then came the conspiracy of Catilina, the return of Pompeius Magnus from the eastern lands, the dynasts' pact in 60, the consulship of Caesar." 15
		Catiline in 64 "was not yet perceived as a dangerous revolutionary by these important figures in government [e.g., Julius Caesar].
		"the conspiracy revealed what, but for Sallust, might almost have escaped record, widespread discontent throughout Italy, reaching even the upper classes, provoked by the high level of debt and social and economic dislocation deriving from hasty and ruthless arrangements for the settlement of Sulla's veterans.

		Torquatus professed outraged that Cicero would defend anyone accused of complicity in the conspiracy and suggested that Cicero was acting like a rex, using his influence to acquit or convict, and that Cicero had falsified the evidentiary records of the Senate hearings in the matter (pro Sulla 21, 40, 48).
		At this point Caesar become somewhat vulnerable to charges that he had conspired with the Catilinarians, but Cicero defended him, and Caesar revenged himself.
		The early months of 62 had witnessed the trials of a number of Catilinarians, against all of whom Cicero testified and all of whom were convicted (pro Sulla 6).

	GAIUS AURELIUS COTTA - LoveToKnow Article on GAIUS AURELIUS COTTA
		After the suppression of the Catilinarian conspiracy, Cotta proposed a public thanksgiving for Ciceros services, and after the latter had gone into exile, supported the view that there was no need of a law for his recall, since the law of Clodius was legally worthless.
		He subsequently attached himself to Caesar, and it was currently reported that Cotta (who was then quindecimvir) intended to propose that Caesar,should receive the title of king, it being written in the books of fate that the Parthians could only be defeated by a king.
		In 66 Cotta and L. Manlius Torquatus accused the consuls-elect for the following year of bribery in connection with the elections; they were condemned, and Cotta and Torquatus chosen in their places.

	Caligula - Wikipedia
		Caligula was born as Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus on August 31, 12 AD, at the resort of Antium (modern Anzio), the third of six children born to Augustus’s adopted grandson, Germanicus, and Augustus’s granddaughter, Agrippina the Elder.
		The conspiracy that ended Caligula's life was hatched among the officers of the Praetorian Guard, apparently for purely personal reasons.
		The most reasonable suggestion is that Caligula went north to earn military glory and discovered there a nascent conspiracy under the commander of the Germania Superior legions, Gnaeus Lentulus Gaetulicus.

	The Bona Dea Scandal
		In the year 62 BC, following the consulship of Cicero and the destruction of the Catilinarian conspiracy, the office of Pontifex Maximus (more a political than religious office) was held by Julius Caesar.
		Since all males, even male animals, were excluded from the event, Caesar absented himself for the evening and the ceremony was planned and hosted by his wife Pompeia.
		By tradition this ceremony was held in the home of the current Pontifex Maximus.

	Julius Caesar: The Last Dictator
		Although there were rumors that Crassus (like Caesar) was involved in the Catilinarian Conspiracy of 63, Crassus was also instrumental in giving Cicero information to foil the conspiracy.
		Caesar was able to recoup his fortunes in Spain to some extent, but continued friendly relations with Crassus for his help at a critical moment in his career.
		After the completion of Caesar's spectacularly controversial consulate, he departed to govern Cisalpine and Transalpine Gaul and began his legendary conquests; Pompey and Crassus returned to their political maneuverings against each other.

	Erwin Rommel (1891-1944)
		Colonel Claus von Stauffenburg, current leader of the conspiracy, asks General Karl-Heinrich von Stuelpnagel (military governer of Paris and leader of the conspirators in France) to invite Rommel to Paris to discuss the matter of Rommel joining the conspiracy.
		There are two stories as to how his name was revealed, the first it that it came through Luftwaffe Caesar von Hofacker under torture, and the second is that after General von Stuelpnagel attempts to commit suicide, fails, he is taken to a German field hospital, where he shouts out Rommel's name in his delirium.
		On October 14, 1944, two generals visit Rommel at his home in Errlingen and hand him a cyanide capsule and a message from Hitler: commit suicide and be buried with honors or stand trial for high treason and be hung, which implies the loss of his family's honor.

	Bible Study - Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus
		Nero was born at Antium (Anzio), Italy, on December 15 37 A.D. His father was Gnaeus Domitius Anenobarbus, a great-grandson of Caesar Augustus- the Roman emperor at the time of the birth of Jesus Christ (Luke 2:1).
		Nero's mother, Agrippina II, was the great-granddaughter of Caesar Augustus, and brother of Caligula, the third Roman emperor.
		As was nearly always the case with the Roman emperors, plots were continuously in the making to overthrow Nero, including the Pisonian Conspiracy in 65 A.D. However, Nero was sly enough to avoid all the traps for a number of years (most evil men are much harder to assassinate than righteous men).

		With this view he insinuated to Nero, that Petronius was too intimately connected with Scevinus not to be engaged in Piso's conspiracy; and, to support his calumny, caused the emperor to be present at the examination (394) of one of Petronius's slaves, whom he had secretly suborned to swear against his master.
		He gave hunts of wild beasts, both in the Circus and in all the wards of the city; as also a show of gladiators; but with such barbarity, that Augustus, after privately reprimanding him, to no purpose, was obliged to restrain him by a public edict.
		Nero, however, giving way to his own disposition, which was naturally vicious, at length changed his conduct, not only in regard to the government of the empire, but of himself and listening to other counsels than those of Petronius, gave the entire reins to his passions, which afterwards plunged him in ruin.
