Lucius Pedanius Secundus (d. AD 61) was a Roman senator of the first century.
[1] Secundus was the first senator from the Spanish provinces to achieve the rank of consul since the anomalous tenure of Lucius Cornelius Balbus in 40 BC.
The senate, moved, among others, by Gaius Cassius Longinus,[i] approved the execution of all of Pedanius' four hundred slaves, in accordance with Roman law; an abridged version of Longinus' speech was preserved by Tacitus.
[3] The people demanded the release of those slaves who were innocent, but Nero deployed the Roman army to prevent the mob from disrupting the executions.
[3][4] The Pedanii had their roots as Roman colonists in the town of Barcino in Tarraconensis.
