The Senatus Consultum de Cn. Pisone Patre is a senatorial decree
issued in AD 20 following the trial of Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso, the
governor of Syria, who was accused of rebellion against Tiberius
following the death of his heir Germanicus. It survives on several
inscriptions and is among the most important documents from the
early Principate. This new edition, with translation and
commentary, sets the text within its contemporary context,
considering it alongside other texts (including Tacitus' Annales),
coins, and monuments, focusing upon the development of Tiberian
political discourse. It explores how contemporary observers
(including Valerius Maximus and Velleius Paterculus) understood and
contributed to the shaping of dynastic rule at Rome after the death
of Augustus in AD 14. It analyses how the Principate continued to
evolve under his successor Tiberius, and explores the role of
different individuals and groups in negotiating these political
changes.
