Publius Silius Nerva

Publius Silius Nerva was a Roman politician and senator in the 1st century.

The Silii Nervae taken under Augustus among the patricians. About the family circumstances of Silius, there is virtually nothing certain. We know only that he is a son of Publius Silius. In the year 20 BC Silius was ordinary consul and then as a legate in Hispania Citerior. In 16 BC his governorship is to be dated in Illyricum. There Silius victories won over the Alps and Pannonian tribes. Maybe he was the one from which Suetonius reports that he often sat at the table with Augustus and played dice.

His wife was Coponia. From this marriage Aulus Licinius Nerva Silianus, consul 7 AD, and perhaps Publius Silius, Consul 3 AD may Gaius Silius was Aulus Caecina Largus, from a second marriage ( Caecinia? ), His son.
