Marcus Asinius Marcellus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marcus Asinius Marcellus was a prominant senator in ancient Rome during the reigns of Claudius and Nero. He was consul along with Marcus Acilius Aviola in 54. In 60, he was caught in a plot to forge a will. Though his accomplises were executed, Nero spared him reportedly because he was "great-grandson of Asinius Pollio and bore a character far from contemptible."
He is mentioned in Tacitus, Annals XII.64 and XIV.40
