Rufus, Tarius
was appointed, in A. D. 23, to succeed Ateius Capito, in the important office of "curator aquarum publicarum," but was himself succeeded, in the following year, by M. Cocceius Nerva, the grandfather of the emperor (Frontin. de Aquaed. 102). He is probably the same as the L. Tarius Rufus who was consul suffectus in B. C. 16.
