[3] Tuscus was a member of the Caecinae, an Etruscan family of Volaterrae, one of the ancient cities of Etruria.
According to Fabius Rusticus, he was named Prefect of the Praetorium in 56, in place of Burrus.
But Caecina did not manage to take office, as Burrus retained control of the Praetorians through Seneca's influence.
There are papyrus records of Tuscus addressing concerned veteran soldiers.
[8] In Alexandria, long-standing tensions between the Jews and Greek inhabitants led to riots in AD 66.
