Marcus Suillius Nerullinus
Marcus Suillius Nerullinus was a Roman senator, who was active during the Principate. He was consul ordinarius in the year 50 with Gaius Antistius Vetus as his colleague.[1] He was the son of Publius Suillius Rufus, suffect consul in 41 and a feared delator, and the stepdaughter of Ovid.[2] Suillius Caesoninus was his brother.
The wealth and power of his father facilitated Nerullinus' advancement through his senatorial career. When a number of delatores accused him of mismanagement while proconsular governor of Asia during 56/57, he claimed he had simply obeyed the emperor's commands, at which point Nero intervened and ended the prosecution.[3]
