 PUBLIUS PETRONIUS TURPILIANUS
"Accordingly Petronius Turpilianus was sent to the province as less inflexible; a stranger to the crimes of the enemy, he would be in proportion soft-hearted if they repented.
Everything, however, was softened down for the emperor's ears, and Suetonius was retained in the government; but as he subsequently lost a few vessels on the shore with the crews, he was ordered, as though the war continued, to hand over his army to Petronius Turpilianus, who had just resigned his consulship.
Petronius neither challenged the enemy nor was himself molested, and veiled this tame inaction under the honourable name of peace."

Petronius had served as consul in 61 before heading to Britain where he advocated a more peaceful policy than the one pursued by his predecessor.
Back in Rome in 63, he held a position as curator aquarum for the city and played a role in the massacre that ended the Pisonian Conspiracy.
Petronius threw in with Galba but was put to death by that new emperor.

 Tacitus - HISTORIES
Cingonius Varro, consul elect, and Petronius Turpilianus, a man of consular rank, were put to death; the former as an accomplice of Nymphidius, the latter as one of Nero's generals.
None but that he has murdered Obultronius Sabinus and Cornelius Marcellus in Spain, Betuus Chilo in Gaul, Fonteius Capito in Germany, Clodius Macer in Africa, Cingonius on the high road, Turpilianus in the city, Nymphidius in the camp.
What province, what camp in the world, but is stained with blood and foul with crime, or, as he expresses it himself, purified and chastened?
