	Rubellius Plautus - One Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Gaius Rubellius Plautus (33–62 AD), through his mother Claudia Julia, was a relative to the Julio-Claudian dynasty.
		One possibility is that Plautus was seen as a rival to her son Britannicus.
		Plautus was repoortedly old fashioned in tastes, his bearing austere and lived a secluded life.

		PLAUTUS, C. RUBE'LLIUS, was the son of Rubellius Blandus [blandus] and of Julia, the daughter of Drusus, the son of the emperor Tiberius.
		Plautus was thus the great-grandson of Tiberius, and the great-great-grandson of Augustus, in consequence of Tiberius having been adopted by Augustus.
		Such advice was, of course, equivalent to a command ; Plautus accordingly retired to Asia with his wife Antistia, the daughter of L. Antistius Vetus, and employed himself in his exile in the study of the Stoic philosophy.

		Her husband was the wealthy and philosophically inclined Rubellius Plautus.
		Rumors of Rubellius Plautus's ambition were circulated by enemies of the younger Agrippina, Nero's mother.
		Alarmed, the emperor suggested that Rubellius Plautus retire to his family estates in Asia where he could enjoy the life of contemplation.

		Rubellius Plautus was tempted to succumb to Agrippina’s obvious desires, as the Empress still retained much beauty despite her dissolute lifestyle.
		First, Rubellius Plautus, despite only being an 18-year-old, was a rather conservative traditionalist who believed, regardless of the recent law change, that having sex with his aunt was sinful.
		On the other hand, Rubellius Plautus was not concerned about betraying his current love for Apollinus, as he knew that the 19 year-old Imperial slave would understand the situation and, anyway, did not expect exclusivity.

	Barea Soranus - LoveToKnow 1911
		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.

		And meanwhile Ostorius Sabinus, the accuser of Soranus, entered, and began by speaking of his friendship with Rubellius Plautus and of his proconsulate in Asia which he had, he said, adapted to his own glory rather than to the public welfare, by fostering seditious movements in the various states.
		These were bygones, but there was a fresh charge involving the daughter in the peril of the father, to the effect that she had lavished money on astrologers.
		While she was yet speaking, Soranus caught up her words, and exclaimed that she had not gone with him into the province; that, from her youth, she could not have been known to Plautus, and that she was not involved in the charges against her husband.

		Tigellinus' denouncing of Rubellius Plautus and Faustus Cornelius Sulla is illustrative of the degree to which the rule of the emperor is developing into a fantasy world of appearances and illusions.
		Plautus, on the other hand, was rich and did not pretend to like his retirement from active politics.
		Plautus is honest in his admiration for the ancient Republican heroes, which, being a Stoic, confirms his anti-Neronian attitude.

		And if Plautus or any other were to become master of the State so as to sit in judgment on me, accusers forsooth would not be forthcoming, to charge me not merely with a few incautious expressions prompted by the eagerness of affection, but with guilt from which a son alone could absolve me."
		Plautus for the present was silently passed over.
		Next Pallas and Burrus were accused of having conspired to raise Cornelius Sulla to the throne, because of his noble birth and connection with Claudius, whose son-in-law he was by his marriage with Antonia.

		Rubellius Plautus’ furtive reason was also barely disguised despite his best efforts.
		The 18 year-old slave expected that his 24 year-old lover would undoubtedly seek to satisfy his strong sexual appetites by securing appropriate physical solace with someone else whilst they were parted, and that the ‘elegentiae arbiter’ therefore would not mind if the young Rhodian did the same.
		However, I am sure that neither Apollinus nor Rubellius Plautus considered chronology much on this particular afternoon, at least until the sun began to set and they reluctantly had to leave each other for their respective holiday residences.

		Son of Julia (8, daughter of Drusus the Younger), Plautus was, with Nero, one of the closest blood relatives to Augustus in the latter half of the 1st century
		Out of fear of Nero, and because of his own Stoic beliefs, Plautus led a secluded, blameless life, but in 55 his name was mentioned in connection with conspiracies against Nero and by 60 he was considered a successor to the emperor.
		This disquieted Nero, who ordered Plautus to retire to Asia, where Plautus moved with his wife Antistia and a few friends.

		The apparently genuine threats to usurp Nero, namely Rubellius Plautus, Corbulo, Piso, perhaps even Seneca, were not central figures tying together the social group in question.
		This helps explain why the son-in-law relation was as important as the blood-relation in tying the social group together: the father’s choice for a son-in-law was partly determined by common intellectual outlook, which was itself the foundation of the social group.
		So even though he would have counciled Plautus to leave Nero be, Nero found him too dangerous to remain in Rome.

		To Nero the consideration of his own safety was predominant over every consideration of justice to individuals, and herein he stood condemned (and knew that it was so) by the judgment of all men of philosophic temper.
		The first of his victims, and perhaps the most deserving of our admiration, was Rubellius Plautus, accused by Tigellinus because he maintained the irritating cult of the ‘tyrannicides,’ and had joined the disloyal sect of the Stoics.
		In the conspiracy of Piso, which broke out a few years later, Plautus Lateranus is named by the historian as one of the few whose motives were honorable and whose conduct was consistently courageous.

		About !8 AD, Rubellius Blandus, a Roman Consul, married Julia, granddaughter of Tiberius, daughter of one Drusus and ex-wife of the emperor Nero.
		Inasmuch as Julia had been married to Nero, Rome was saddened to see her lower herself to marry "into the humbler family of Rubellius Blandus." Their son Plautus was an adherent of stoicism and was perceived by Nero as a threat.
		Plautus did so, resisting entreaties to return to Rome whereby he might bravely, and briefly as it were, practice his stoic beliefs.

		But, cunningly enough, it was as a stranger that Laco supported him, and the high character of Piso gave weight to his advice.

		Hence, as if Nero had been already deposed, it became the topic of general inquiry, who should be chosen to succeed him, and, by the universal voice on this occasion, the name of Rubellius Plautus was resounded, one who by his mother inherited the nobility of the Julian race.
		Moreover, to Plautus were brought the counsel and admonitions of Lucius Antistius, his father-in-law, by a freedman of his own, who, speeded by a brisk wind, had out-sailed the fatal Centurion.

		The one jarring remark in chapter 4 is the admonition that "it is important to distinguish professional Stoic teachers, with different views, from eclectic practitioners of Stoicism such as Seneca and Musonius Rufus" (104).
		Our sources clearly indicate that Musonius was a teacher; his students included the philosophers Epictetus, Dio of Prusa, Euphrates of Tyre and his student Timocrates of Heracleia, Athenodotus, and Artemidorus, and also aristocratic Romans such as Rubellius Plautus, C. Minicius Fundanus, and possibly Barea Soranus and Annius Pollio.
		Why Long would describe Musonius as an 'eclectic practitioner of Stoicism' rather than a 'professional Stoic teacher' is mysterious.

		It is not clear whether this was his own choice, or whether, as some have believed, it was the result of pressure from Laco, who had made friends with Piso at the house of Rubellius Plautus.
		However, in supporting him Laco astutely pretended that he was a stranger, and Piso's reputation made the policy plausible enough.
