Quintus Marcius Barea Soranus was a Roman senator who lived in the reign of Nero.
He was suffect consul in 52, but later attracted the hatred of Nero, and upon being condemned to death committed suicide.
His brother was Quintus Marcius Barea Sura, friend of the future emperor Vespasian and maternal grandfather of Trajan.
[1] Soranus was accused by Ostorius Sabinus, an equestrian, of being friends with Rubellius Plautus (another object of Nero's hatred), and for inciting the citizens of Asia to revolt.
[2] Servilia confessed that she had consulted an astrologer, but only to pray in honor of her father and the emperor;[3] Soranus asked that his daughter be spared because she was not involved in the conspiracy or aware of the misdeeds of her husband, Gaius Annius Pollio.
