Gaius Furnius

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the tribune in 50 BCE, see Gaius Furnius (tribune).

Gaius Furnius, son of Gaius Furnius, was first consul of the Roman Empire from 17 BCE-16 BCE.

He reconciled Augustus to his father who had been up to 31 BCE a staunch adherent of Marcus Antonius. (Senec. Benefic. ii. 25.) Although there is some suggestion that he is the Furnius put to death by the senate in the reign of Tiberius, in 26 CE, for adultery with Claudia Pulchra, (Tac. Ann. iv. 52), doubt remains.
