Marcus Julius Vestinus Atticus (died April 65) was a Roman senator, who flourished under the reign of Nero.
He was consul in the year 65 as the colleague of Aulus Licinius Nerva Silianus; after his suicide he was replaced by Publius Pasidienus Firmus.
[2] Vestinus Atticus married Statilia Messalina, with whom Tacitus states Nero had an affair prior to their marriage.
[6] When none of the conspirators named him as involved, Nero abused the Law of majestas and dispatched the tribune Gerellanus with a cohort of soldiers to Atticus' house, which towered over the Forum.
Tacitus notes that Nero had "laughed over their terror at the expectation of a fatal end to their banquet" before saying "that they had suffered enough punishment for the consul's entertainment" and giving the order to release them.
