Servius Cornelius Scipio Salvidienus Orfitus (died AD 66) was a Roman senator, and consul ordinarius for the year 51, as the colleague of the emperor Claudius.
He was proconsular governor of Africa for the term Summer 62/Summer 63; one Publius Silius Celer is mentioned as his legatus or assistant.
[4] Frederik Juliaan Vervaet has argued that instead of an act of flattery, Nero and his partisans may have interpreted this proposal as a subtle form of criticism.
If so, it would explain the actual motivation for Marcus Aquilius Regulus accusing Orfitus in the Senate of being a traitor to Nero the following year.
A grandson, also named Servius Cornelius Scipio Salvidienus Orfitus, followed in their footsteps and became consul in AD 110, under the emperor Trajan.
