Aulus Cremutius Cordus

Aulus Cremutius Cordus (died 25 AD[1]) was a Roman historian. There are very few remaining fragments of his work, principally covering the civil war and the reign of Augustus. In AD 25 he was forced by Sejanus, who was praetorian prefect under Tiberius, to take his life after being accused violating the lex maiestas.[2]
