Pompeius Silo

Although he is frequently cited by Seneca we know little about him. His name suggests he is not from Italy and he may come from Narbo or Spain (in the latter country the cognomen Silo is attested in a number of inscriptions). The family were clearly originally clients of Pompey the Great; the consul M. Larcius Magnus Pompeius Silo, who held the office under Domitian, may have been one of his descendants.
