Paconius Agrippinus

Paconius Agrippinus was a Stoic philosopher of the 1st century.[1] His father was put to death by the Roman emperor Tiberius on a charge of treason.[2] Agrippinus himself was accused at the same time as Thrasea, around 67 AD, and was banished from Italy.[3] As a philosopher he was spoken of with praise by Epictetus.[4]
