Marcus Servilius Nonianus (died in 59 AD) was a Roman senator, best known as a historian. He was ordinary consul in 35 as the colleague of Gaius Cestius Gallus.[1] Tacitus described Servilius Nonianus as a man of great eloquence and good-nature.[2] He wrote a history of Rome which is considered the major contribution on the topic between the works of Livy and Tacitus, and which was much referred to by later historians, but was later lost.[3] A number of anecdotes regarding him survive and help to give an understanding of Roman life in the first century.
