[1] In around 9 BC, Nonius Asprenas was brought to trial after a number of his guests (reportedly some 130 people) died after attending a party which he hosted.
[2] Augustus expressed his concern over the charges in the Senate and made an appearance at court, but did not make any statement while present.
That charges had been brought against him was enough to ruin his political career; not only did he forfeit his seat as one of the Septemviri epulonum, but he also was prevented from contesting the consulship.
[3][4] Nonius Asprenas married Quinctilla, a sister of Publius Quinctilius Varus.
The other was Sextus Nonius Quinctilianus, consul of AD 8,[5] who might have been a biological son of Varus and his wife Vipsania.
