Gaius Asinius Pollio (consul 23)

Gaius Asinius Pollio was a Roman senator and orator active during the Principate.

He was ordinary consul for 23 with Gaius Antistius Vetus as his colleague.

[6] In 45, Pollio was exiled as an accuser of a conspiracy and later was put to death on orders from Empress Valeria Messalina.

The Asinia Pollionis filia mentioned on an inscription from Tusculum may have been his daughter.

[7] Pollio was perhaps the father (or brother) of Gaius Asinius Placentinus who lived around the middle of the 1st century.
