Satria gens

Origin

Members

• Aulus Caninius Satrius, a friend of Cicero, who declined to undertake a lawsuit against him on behalf of Satrius' cousin, Caecilius, the uncle of Titus Pomponius Atticus, for colluding in a fraudulent land sale, in 65 BC. Cicero apologizes to Atticus for the rift this caused between him and Caecilius. Some texts amend Satrius to Satyrus.
• Marcus Satrius, the nephew of Lucius Minucius Basilus, by whom he was adopted, and whose name he assumed. Although he had served under Caesar in Gaul and during the Civil War, he joined the conspiracy against him, ostensibly because he had not been rewarded with a province of his own in 44 BC. He was one of Caesar's assassins, but in the following year was killed by his own slaves, whom he had punished with mutilation.
• Satrius, the legate of Gaius Trebonius in 43 BC.
• Marcus Satrius Valens, praetor urbanus in AD 19.
• Satrius Secundus, the husband of Albucilla, was persuaded by Sejanus to accuse the historian Aulus Cremutius Cordus of majestas, for praising Brutus and Cassius, the tyrannicides, in AD 25. Twelve years later, Satrius helped bring about Sejanus' downfall, evidently by providing Antonia with information about the plot against the emperor Tiberius.
• Titus Satrius Decianus, appointed one of the curatores tabulariorum publicorum, or curators of the public records, in AD 43.
• Lucius Satrius Silvinus, a procurator, who dedicated a first-century tomb at Tergeste in Venetia and Histria to his wife, Caesidia Amabilis.
• Satrius Rufus, an orator in the time of Pliny the Younger.
• Lucius Satrius Abascantus, a freedman on whose behalf the younger Pliny petitioned the emperor Trajan for Roman citizenship.
• Satria L. f., the wife of Juncus Major, who had been quaestor, tribune of the plebs, and praetor.
