Abstract


Piso, suspected of having murdered Tiberius´s adopted son, Germanicus, in October of 19 AD, was brought to trial for this and other crimes in 20 AD. The date of the trial (May of the same year) which can be deduced from Tacitus´s writings (Annals III 8.15), has traditionally been accepted as accurate. The recent discovery of the SCPP has called this date into question as the Senatus Consultum is dated 10th December, giving rise to the belief that the trial took place round about that time. This study defends the traditional date by combining arguments of historical analysis with an original approach based on breaking down Tacitus´s chrono logical-narrative technique into symbolic schemata.
