Publius Autronius Paetus
Publius Autronius Paetus was a Roman senator in the 1st century BC. And participant in the Catilinarian Conspiracy in 63 BC. Chr.
In 75 BC Autronius (together with Marcus Tullius Cicero ) was Quaestor and 73 BC. Chr. Legat in Greece, probably under the proconsul Marcus Antonius Creticus .
Together with Publius Cornelius Sulla, he was made consul for 65 BC. Was elected, but, like his counterpart, could not take office because he was accused of electoral fraud ( de ambitu ) by the son of the unsuccessful candidate Lucius Manlius Torquatus and therefore expelled from the Senate. He then joined Lucius Sergius Catilina and participated in his conspiracy in 63 BC. Chr.
After the conspiracy was discovered, Autronius renounced his defense and was eventually exiled to Epirus .
