Sabiinus, Calvisius

3. C. Calvisius Sabinus, probably son of No 2. and grandson of No. 1, was consul under Tiberius in A. D. 26 with Cn. Cornelius Lentulus Gaetulicus. In A. D. 32 he was accused of majestas, but was saved by Celsus, tribune of a city cohort, who was one of the informers. He was governor of Pannonia under Caligula, and was accused with his wife Cornelia; but as their condemnation was certain, they put an end to their own lives before the trial came on. (Tac. Ann. 4.46, 6.9, Hist. 1.48; D. C. 59.18.)
