Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology/Nero 7.

by William Smith

7. Tib. Claudius Nero served under Cn. Pompeius Magnus in the war against the pirates, b. c. 67. (Florus iii. 6; Appian, Mithridat. 95.) He is probably the Tib. Nero mentioned by Sallust (Bell. Cat. 50) and by Appian (B. C. ii. 5), who recommended that the members of the con­spiracy of Catiline, who had been seized, should be kept confined till Catiline was put down, and they knew the exact state of the facts.
