Carrinas

4. CARRINAS SECUNDUS, a rhetorician of the time of Caligula, by whom he was expelled from Rome for having, by way of exercise, declaimed against tyrants on one occasion. (D. C. 59.20; Juv. 7.204.) He is probably the same as the Secundus Carinas whom Nero, in B. C. 65, sent to Asia and Achaia to plunder those countries, and carry the statues of the gods from thence to Rome. (Tac. Ann. 15.45.)
