Lucius Calpurnius Piso (consul 57)
Lucius Calpurnius Piso was a Roman senator and consul, holding the office of consul ordinarius in 57 AD alongside the future emperor Nero. He belonged to the prominent gens Calpurnia, specifically the Piso family, who were noted for their wealth and influence.
While little specific detail is known about his life prior to his consulship, his election to the consulship suggests a distinguished career in public service. As consul alongside Nero, he would have been involved in the administrative and legislative affairs of the Roman Empire during a relatively stable period of Nero's early reign. The influence of Seneca and Burrus at this time generally ensured efficient governance.
Following his consulship, Piso's later career remains largely obscure. He likely continued to participate in senatorial affairs, though specific records detailing his actions are sparse. Information regarding his personal life, family, and subsequent activities is limited in surviving historical sources. His significance lies primarily in his consulship and membership of the influential Calpurnii Pisonis family.
