Titus Statily Taurus Corvin

Titus Statilius Taurus Corvinus ( Latin: Titus Statilius Taurus Corvinus ) - a politician of the era of the early Roman Empire .

His father was the consul of 11 years Titus Statilius Taurus , the mother of Valery Messalin, and his brother was the consul of 44 years Titus Statilii Taurus . The Kognomen "Corvinus" Titus apparently received from his maternal grandfather, Mark Valery Messala Corvin.

By the year 34, Taurus became part of the priestly college of the Arval brothers . He was also a Quebec minister of priesthood . In 45, Corvin served as ordinary consul along with Mark Vinicius . In 46, together with Asinius Gallus, Taurus took part in organizing a conspiracy against the emperor Claudius , in which many imperial freedmen and slaves were also involved. However, the plot was uncovered. The Taurus, most likely, was pardoned (or exiled and soon returned), since there is evidence of his presence at meetings of the college of the Arval brothers until the age of 54.
