Antonius Natalis
Appearance
Antonius Natalis (fl. AD 65) was an ancient Roman of the equestrian order who took part in the Pisonian conspiracy against Nero.[1] As a conspirator, he provided Gaius Calpurnius Piso with secretive information regarding the emperor.[2] After Flavius Scaevinus's freedman, Milichus, alerted Nero of Piso's conspiracy, Natalis, having met with Scaevinus that day, was suspected of being a part of the conspiracy.[3] When he was questioned, Natalis disclosed information vital to the conspiracy, thereby avoiding punishment.[4]
