Labeo, Pomponius
governor of the province of Moesia for eight years, in the reign of Tiberius. The emperor, in a letter to the senate, denounced him as guilty of maladministration and other offences. Labeo by a voluntary death anticipated the threatened execution. (A. D. 34.) His wife Paxaea imitated his example. (Tac. Ann. 4.47, 6.29; D. C. 58.24).
