He was consul for the year AD 16 with Lucius Scribonius Libo as his colleague.
His father is attested as a tresviri monetalis, but died before he could accede to the consulate; his mother has not been identified.
Sisenna was also the younger brother of Titus Statilius Taurus.
[3] The tombstone of one of his freedmen, found in Istria, belonging to modern Croatia, provides us a few clues about his life.
[4] One is that it supplies Sisenna with the title of pontiff, not only indicating he was a member of the prestigious college of pontiffs;[5] another is that it indicates he or his family owned estates in Regio X Venetia et Histria of Italia.
