# WVIR-CD

**WVIR-CD** (channel 35) is a low-power, Class A television station in Charlottesville, Virginia, United States. It is a translator of dual NBC/CW+ affiliate WVIR-TV (channel 29) which is owned by Gray Television. WVIR-CD's transmitter is located on Carters Mountain south of Charlottesville; its parent station maintains studios on East Market Street (US 250 Business) in downtown.

## History

The station began its life as charter Pax TV affiliate WADA-LP on August 31, 1998. It first aired an analog signal on UHF channel 55 and later moved to UHF channel 27. In late-March 2005, owner Tiger Eye Broadcasting sold the station to Gray Television who proceeded to change the call letters to WAHU-CA. The station became a Fox affiliate and was integrated with CBS affiliate WCAV (channel 19) and ABC affiliate WVAW-LP (channel 16). Prior to WAHU's affiliation switch, Fox was available on cable from WTTG in Washington, D.C. That station was considered the default affiliate for the market and is still seen on cable due to "significantly viewed" status from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). (Pax TV's successor, Ion Television, returned to the market on October 1, 2018, on WCAV's fourth subchannel.) Since 2006, the three stations have been the flagship of University of Virginia sports.

On December 28, 2006, WAHU launched its digital signal on UHF channel 40. While providing an over-the-air standard definition Fox feed on its first digital subchannel, the station began airing a dedicated MyNetworkTV channel on a new second one. Following this addition, the station shifted several programs to the digital subchannel. Prior to the addition of WAHU-DT2, the network was added on September 5, 2006 as a secondary affiliation on the main channel. As part of the launch, Comcast moved WTTG from channel 9 to channel 18 in order to give WAHU the lower channel location.

On March 14, 2008, the station changed its call letters to WAHU-LD with "LD" meaning low-power digital. Also on the date, along with other television stations in Virginia, WAHU-LD2 aired the Virginia High School League championship basketball tournament for the first time. On February 18, 2009, it began broadcasting in high definition over-the-air. On March 13 and 14, WAHU-LD2 (and other stations in the state) aired the Virginia High School League basketball championships for a second time. On September 7, 2009, This TV started airing on WAHU-LD2. On January 3, 2011, the station changed its calls again to WAHU-CD with "CD" meaning Class A low-power digital.

In late 2018, WAHU-CD2 ended its affiliation with MyNetworkTV to take MeTV full-time.

Gray announced the sale of WCAV and WVAW-LD to Lockwood Broadcast Group on March 4, 2019. The sale was concurrent with Gray's purchase of rival WVIR-TV from Waterman Broadcasting. WAHU-CD was not included in the sale and would be retained by Gray as a sister station to WVIR-TV.

Gray took WAHU-CD silent on April 1 to begin moving its equipment out of the shared Newsplex facility. The Fox, MeTV, and AccuWeather affiliations were included in the sale to Lockwood and moved to WCAV and WVAW-LD.

As Gray's purchase of WVIR was held up by legal challenges, delaying construction of a new co-located transmitter, WAHU-CD returned to the air with Fox on August 23 with an interim facility from its previous location. Because the Fox feed on WCAV began using virtual channel 27 when WAHU-CD went silent, it began using virtual channel 35.

On October 8, 2019, the station changed its callsign to WVIR-CD when the legal challenges were cleared and the sale to Gray closed. Later that month, it converted to a translator of WVIR-TV. WVIR-CD preserved UHF reception in the core of the market when WVIR-TV moved to VHF channel 2, which is difficult to receive indoors, in 2020.

On September 15, 2022, Grit was added to the channel lineup.

# Veneno (wrestler)

**Rafael Ernesto Medina Baeza** (born December 7, 1970), better known under the ring name **Veneno** ("Venom"), is a Panamanian *luchador*, or professional wrestler, living in Mexico and currently working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) portraying a *tecnico* ("Good guy") wrestling character. He is related through marriage to the extended Casas wrestling family as his sister, also a wrestler under the ring name Dalys La Caribeña, is married to Negro Casas.

## Professional wrestling career

Rafael Medina is the son of a Panama-based professional wrestling promoter and began his professional wrestling career on April 30, 1993 in his native Panama, working under the ring name "El Guapo Siniestro" ("The Sinister Hansome One"). At some point in the 1990s Mexican wrestler Negro Casas came to Panama to work for Medina's father and provided additional training for Medina. During this timeframe Casas met and married Rafael Medina's sister and when she moved to Mexico Medina followed her, settling down in Mexico.

### Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (2000–2005)

In Mexico he became the *enmascarado* character "Veneno" (Spanish for "Venom") and began working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), one of Mexico's largest, and the world's oldest, wrestling promotion. Veneno worked his first major CMLL show on March 30, 2001 when he teamed up with Rencor Latino, Arkangel de la Muerte only to lose to the team of Astro Rey, Jr., Pantera and El Felino on the under card of CMLL's *Juicio Final* show. On May 2, 2001 Veneno teamed up with Olímpico to compete in the 2001 *Copa Ovaciones*, sponsored by the Mexican newspaper Ovaciones. The team lost to Super Parka and Máscara Año 2000 in the first round. He later became a part of Pierroth, Jr.'s *Los Boricuas* (slang for "The Puerto Ricans") *rudo* (wrestlers who portray the "bad guys", also known as "heels") group and thus played the part of a Puerto Rican sympathizer, claiming that Puerto Rico was superior to Mexico in terms of the storyline. The group was led by Pierroth and also included Gran Markus, Jr., The Killer, Bestia Salvaje, Poder Boricua, Violencia, Nitro, Hijo del Pierroth, Pierrothito, Pequeño Violencia and La Nazi. Veneno, Hijo de Pirroth and Doctor X defeated Tony Rivera, Tigre Blanco and Volador Jr. on CMLL's annual *Sin Piedad* show. As a member of *Los Boricuas* he teamed up with Nitro and Violencia on a regular basis, a trio that competed for a match at the then reigning CMLL World Trios Champions, but were defeated by *Los Hermanos Dinamita* (Cien Caras, Máscara Año 2000 and Universo 2000) in the first round. In early 2002 Gran Markus, Jr. turned on the rest of *Los Borucuas*, unhappy with Pierroth's leadership, as part of the storyline junior member Veneno stepped up and wanted to punish the "traitor", which led to a match where both wrestlers put their mask on the line (called a *Luchas de Apuestas*, or "Bet match"). The match was the main event of CMLL's 2002 *Homenaje a Dos Leyendas* ("Homage to Two Legends") show on March 17, 2002. The match saw Veneno lose and thus was forced to unmask, reveal his birth name and age in front of everyone in Arena Mexico as per *lucha libre* traditions. The storyline between *Los Boricuas* and Gran Markus, Jr. lead to Gran Markus, Jr. defeating Veneno in another *Lucha de Apuestas* match on November 20, 2002, thus forcing Veneno to be shaved bald after the match. The *Los Boricuas* storyline was partially abandoned in mid-2003 leaving Veneno and other low ranking *Boricuas* with no specific storyline to work. On June 20, 2004 Veneno was once again shaved bald, after losing a *Luchas de Apuestas* match to Tony Rivera

### International Wrestling Revolution Group (2005–present)

In either late 2004 or very early 2005 Veneno stopped working for CMLL and instead started to work for International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG), a smaller, regional promotion compared to CMLL. On January 13, 2005 Veneno IWRG decided to have Veneno win his first professional wrestling championship when he defeated Cerebro Negro to win the IWRG Intercontinental Middleweight Championship. He would hold the championship for 146 days, until June 9, 2005 where he was defeated by Black Dragon. He regained the belt a week later, June 16, 2005, when he pinned Black Dragon. His second reign with the championship lasted only 35 days before Cyborg won it on July 21 of that year. On October 9, 2005 Veneno teamed up with *Los Terrible Cerebros* (Dr. Cerebro and Cerebro Negro to win the Distrito Federal Trios Championship from *Los Payasos Tricolores* ("The three-colored clowns"; Coco Blanco, Coco Rojo, Coco Verde) Veneno closed out 2005 by winning the Middleweight Championship for a third time on December 11. The third run with the Middleweight Championship turned out to be the longest of the three runs, 230 days in total, lasting until he was defeated by Pantera on July 30, 2006. During 2005 Veneno joined a group known as *La Corporacion*, a *rudo* group where the storyline was that they tried to take over IWRG both in the wrestling ring and by trying to buy it. Veneno and fellow *Corporacion* members Cerebro Negro and Scorpio, Jr. defeated Veneno's in laws Negro Casas, El Felino and Heavy Metal to win the IWRG Intercontinental Trios Championship on January 5, 2005. *La Corporacion* only held the title for just over a month, vacating the championship in February, 2006 when Scorpio, Jr. stopped working for IWRG. In late 2006 Veneno, El Hijo del Diablo and Fantasma de la Opera won the IWRG Trios Championship by defeating Defeated Dr. Cerebro, Cerebro Negro and Suicida to claim the vacant championship. Their reign lasted 52 days, until February 15, 2007 where they lost the belts to Dr. Cerebro, Cerebro Negro and Suicida.

Veneno also worked for a number of other Mexican promotions as IWRG allowed its wrestlers to work on the Independent circuit between IWRG obligations. One such promotion was Toryumon Mexico where he competed in a tournament for the NWA International Junior Heavyweight Championship, but was eliminated in the first round. By 2010 Veneno began working more as an experienced veteran *rudo*, or even a *tecnico* ("good guy" character) when need be, working with younger, lower ranked wrestlers guiding them as they gained experience. One such occasion was the 2010 *Torneo Relampago de Proyeccion a Nuevas Promesas de la Lucha Libre* ("Projecting a new promise lightning tournament") where he teamed up with rookie Keshin Black, a masked wrestler that was also Rafael Medina's son. The team was lost to Guizmo and Ultraman, Jr. in the first round and was thus eliminated. Veneno teamed up with Cerebro Nego and Kaos to compete for the vacant Distrito Federal Trios Championship, but the trio lost in the first round to eventual tournament winners *Los Gringos VIP* (Avisman, El Hijo del Diablo and Gringo Loco). In 2011 Veneno was teamed up with rookie Eterno for the 2011 *Proyeccion a Nuevas Promesas* tournament. The team lost to eventual tournament winners Comando Negro and Scorpio, Jr. in the opening round.

Veneo represented IWRG in IWRG's *Guerra de Empresas* tournament three times in 2011, the first tournament one took place on January 2, 2011 where Team IWRG of Veneno and Black Terry lost to the *Perros del Mal* representatives Super Crazy and X-Fly. IWRG held two additional *Guerra de Empresas* tournaments in June. The first one took place on June 16 and saw Veneno team up with Máscara Año 2000, Jr., defeating *Los Terrible Cerebros* to earn a spot in the finals, only to be defeated by *Los Psycho Circus* (Monster Clown and Psycho Clown) representing Asistencia Asesoria y Administracion (AAA). The following week, April 24, Veneno and Máscara Año 2000, Jr. represented IWRG once again, defeating Paranoiko and Violento Jack from Desastre Total Ultraviolento (DTU) but lost to Nicho el Milionario and Pimpinela Escarlata from AAA in the finals. In the summer of 2011 Veneno travelled to Japan to compete for the Japanese wrestling promotion Smash, including competing the a tournament to determine the first ever Smash Champion. Veneno defeated Hajime Ohara in the first round, but lost to StarBuck in the second round of the tournament that took place in the renowned Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. In 2012 IWRG renamed the *Proyeccion a Nuevas Promesas* tournament, calling it *El Protector* instead. This time Veneno teamed up with Saruman, defeating the team of Alan Extreme and Black Terry in the first round, but lost to eventual tournament winners Imposible and X-Fly in the semi-finals. At the 2012 *Caravan de Campeones* show, that took place on May 6, 2012, Veneno was one of 12 wrestlers competing for the vacant IWRG Middleweight Championship, a title Veneno had held three times previously. Veneno qualified for the finals by defeating El Hijo del Diablo in the first round and Super Nova in the second round, only to lose to Oficial AK-47 in the finals. For the 2013 *El Protector* Veneno teamed up with Centvrión but lost to Eita and Negro Navarro in the semi-final round.

# 14th Anti-Tank Artillery Regiment (Poland)

The **14th Suwałki Anti-Tank Artillery Regiment named for Józef Piłsudski** is a unit of the Rocket Forces and Artillery (pl:Wojska rakietowe i artyleria) of the Polish Army. The regiment is equipped with the BRDM-2/Malyutka anti-tank missile/armoured car system.

It is located at Suwałki. It was subordinated to the 16 DZ (2007-2010); the 11th Masurian Artillery Regiment (2011-2019); and the Armed Forces General Command from 2019.

## History

In August 1951, the 101st Anti-Tank Artillery Regiment was formed at Kwidzyn. On October 20, 1957, by a resolution of the State Council, the regiment received its banner. From 1967, the regiment became part of the 22nd Anti-Tank Artillery Brigade, which was disbanded by the Order of the Minister of National Defense No. 25 of September this year, while the 101st Regiment was renamed the 14th Anti-Tank Artillery Regiment and subordinated to the Commander of the Pomeranian Military District.

In the spring of 1994, the regiment was transferred from Kwidzyn to Suwałki. Here the regiment received a new banner.

In July 1999 the regiment was transferred from the 15th Warmian-Masurian Mechanized Division to the 1st Warsaw Mechanised Division.

As a result of the reorganization of the Armed Forces in October 2001, the regiment became part of the 1st Mechanized Corps in Bydgoszcz. Another change of subordination took place in November 2003, as a result of which the regiment was subordinated to the Commanders of the Land Forces. From January 11, 2007, to December 31, 2010, the regiment was within the structures of the 16th Pomeranian Mechanized Division "King Kazimierz Jagiellończyk".

The 14th Anti-Tank Regiment was stationed in the Suwałki Garrison. The regiment celebrates its holiday on September 10.

By order of the commander of the 16th Mechanized Division on August 11, 2010, the regiment was transformed into the 14th anti-tank artillery squadron. The squadron became part of the 11th Masurian Artillery Regiment "General Józef Bem" (pl:11 Mazurski Pułk Artylerii).

On September 30, 2019, the Suwałki squadron was formally transformed into the 14th Anti-Tank Artillery Regiment "Marshal Józef Piłsudski". By order of the Minister of National Defence, the 14th Suwałki anti-tank artillery squadron was removed from the Węgorzewo regiment, transformed into the 14th Suwałki anti-tank artillery regiment and subordinated to the Commander of the Armed Forces.

# Melinda Lopez

**Melinda Lopez** is an actress, playwright, and educator from Boston, Massachusetts. She is the first ever playwright-in-residence for the Huntington Theatre Company. She is a professor at Northeastern University.

## Career

As a playwright, Lopez has produced a sizable body of work that spans the last two decades and has garnered a variety of awards. Lopez's plays include *Alexandros* (Laguna Playhouse), *Caroline in Jersey* (Williamstown Theatre Festival), and *Sonia Flew*, which premiered at the Huntington Theatre in Boston, MA in 2004 and won several Best New Play awards. The Huntington's production of *Sonia Flew* was the inaugural production at the Huntington's space for new work, the Calderwood Pavilion at the Boston Center for the Arts. *Sonia Flew* has since been produced for radio broadcast and in multiple other cities. Lopez has also authored *God Smells Like a Roast Pig* (Women on Top Festival), *The Order of Things* (CentaStage), *How do you Spell Hope?* (Underground Railway Theatre), and a translation of Federico García Lorca's *Blood Wedding* for Suffolk University. In 2009, she was commissioned by the National Institute of Health to author a work celebrating the bicentennial of Charles Darwin's birth, leading to her play From *Orchids to Octopi, An Evolutionary Love Story*. In 2013, Lopez was made the first ever playwright in residence at the Huntington Theatre thanks to a three-year grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Lopez has held residencies with Harvard University, the New York Theatre Workshop, Sundance, and The Lark. Lopez has also acted in regional theaters across the country, most recently with Huntington Theatre Company and Speakeasy Stage Company of Boston.

Lopez's works frequently focus on the stories of Cuban or Cuban-American characters. Her play *Becoming Cuba* is set in 1897 Havana on the eve of the Spanish–American War, *Alexandros* centers on a Cuban family in exile, *Sonia Flew* is about a woman who was sent to the United States from Cuba as a child in 1961, and her one-woman show *Midnight Sandwich/Medianoche* (previously titled *God Smells Like a Roast Pig*) deals explicitly with Lopez's own struggle with her Cuban heritage.

In November 2016, ArtsEmerson produced Lopez's work, *Mala*. *Mala* is Lopez's one woman show about "an utterly unsentimental journey towards the end of life, *Mala* is an irreverent exploration of how we live, cope and survive in the moment." The production was directed by David Dower, and was remounted at the Calderwood Pavilion in January 2018 by the Huntington Theatre Company. The Huntington presentation was recorded and broadcast by GBH Channel 2 in 2020.

## Personal life

Lopez lives with her husband and daughter in Boston,. She has been a member of Actor's Equity Association since 1990. She holds a Bachelor of Arts from Dartmouth College and a Master of Arts from Boston University. She is Cuban American, and works with Boston-area charities that give humanitarian aid to Cuba. She is also a long-distance runner and has completed two marathons.

# Marsden Gemini

The **Marsden Gemini** is a Canadian mid-wing, T-tailed, two-seats in side-by-side configuration, experimental research glider that was designed and constructed by David Marsden at the University of Alberta, first flying in 1973.

## Design and development

The Gemini was designed to explore the use of flaps to create a variable geometry sailplane that would be optimized for both low speed thermalling flight and also high speed gliding between thermals.

The aircraft was predominantly made from aluminium, with some stainless steel used for the wing ribs, controls and fittings. The two-place side-by-side cockpit was made from fibreglass. Its four-piece 60.75 ft (18.5 m) span high aspect ratio wing employed a modified Wortmann FX-61-163/35SF airfoil. The Fowler flaps occupied the entire trailing edge of the wing and accounted for 35% of the wing chord. In cruise the flaps were retracted, reducing the wing area. While climbing, the flaps were extended, producing a high lift coefficient of 2.2. For glidepath control when landing the flaps deployed to 80° to create aerodynamic drag. The outer flaps acted as slotted ailerons for roll control.

## Operational history

Only one Gemini was built. The aircraft was still operational in August 2011, owned by William G. Osoba of Wichita, Kansas, United States, but was removed from the US register in April 2019 and its fate is unknown.

The aircraft was flown to set seven Canadian multi-place records, including the record for speed over a 500 km (311 mi) triangle. It was also used to set the US national record for the 300 km (186 mi) of 94 mph (151 km/h).

On July 2, 2011, Osoba and his wife Christine flew the Gemini on a 565 mi (909 km) free distance flight from Zapata, Texas to just east of Amarillo, Texas, a flight which won the 2011 Barringer Trophy.

## HMS *Investigator*

In September 1851, Captain Robert McClure's ship, HMS *Investigator* became ice trapped in Mercy Bay during the McClure Arctic expedition while searching for the Northwest Passage and Franklin's lost expedition. By 1853, it was finally abandoned in the bay. The crew sledged over ice to Melville Island, where they were rescued.

In July 2010, Parks Canada archeologists looking for HMS *Investigator* found it fifteen minutes after they started a sonar scan of Banks Island, Mercy Bay, Northwest Territories. The archaeology crew had no plans to raise the ship. They did a thorough sonar scan of the area, then sent a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROUV). The Canadian archaeologists found the ship "largely intact", sitting upright, approximately 7.6 m (25 ft) under the Arctic Ocean. Its masts were missing, probably sheared away by the ice.

# 152nd Cavalry Brigade (United States)

The **152nd Cavalry Brigade** was a cavalry unit of the United States Army Organized Reserve during the interwar period. Organized in 1922, the brigade spent its entire career with the 61st Cavalry Division and was disbanded after the United States entered World War II.

## History

The brigade was constituted in the Organized Reserve on 15 October 1921, part of the 61st Cavalry Division in the Second Corps Area. It included the 303rd and 304th Cavalry Regiments and the 152nd Machine Gun Squadron at New York City. In February 1922, the brigade headquarters was initiated (organized) in Manhattan. Between 17 March of that year and 27 November 1931, the 152nd was commanded by Lincoln C. Andrews, who became Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. On 20 December 1928, the 152nd Machine Gun Squadron was relieved from its assignment to the 61st and withdrawn from the Organized Reserves, with its personnel transferred to one of the brigade's regiments. From 15 April 1937 to June 1939, the brigade was led by Brice Disque, the head of the Spruce Production Division during World War I.

The brigade held its inactive training period meetings on the first and third Mondays of each month at the Army-Navy Club in Manhattan. Between 1923 and 1940, the 152nd usually conducted summer training at Fort Ethan Allen with the 1st Squadron, 3rd Cavalry Regiment, but held summer training with the 3rd Cavalry Regiment at Fort Belvoir in 1937 and 1939. Its subordinate regiments provided basic military instruction to civilians under the Citizens' Military Training Camp program at Fort Ethan Allen with the assistance of the 1st Squadron, 3rd Cavalry as an alternate form of training. After the United States entered World War II, the brigade was disbanded on 30 January 1942 along with the division, after most of its officers were called up for active duty.

## Commanders

The brigade is known to have been commanded by the following officers:

* Major Frederick W. Wurster Jr. (3–17 March 1922)
* Brigadier General Lincoln C. Andrews (17 March 1922 – 27 November 1931)
* Lieutenant Colonel Charles W. Jacobsen (23 July 1935 – 15 April 1937)
* Brigadier General Brice Disque (15 April 1937– June 1939)

## History

The Muscats Motors showroom stands on the site of the Muscat Garage, which was built by the Muscat family in 1934. This was designed by the architect Silvio Mercieca and it was built in a restrained form of Art Deco. In World War II, the building was used as a service and repair workshop for British military vehicles and equipment, including Supermarine Spitfire engines. It was targeted by German and Italian aerial bombardment, taking a direct hit and causing severe damage.

The Muscats Motors company was founded in 1943–44. The present building was constructed after the war, to designs of architect Joseph Colombo. It was built in a short period of time, being completed in around 1945.

The building still stands and it is in good condition, still serving its original purpose. Muscats Motors now forms part of the Mizzi Organisation, but it retained its original name. The building was scheduled as a Grade 2 property in 2012.

The Muscats Motors showroom was built in an elegant form of late Art Deco, and it has been described as the only true example of Streamline Moderne in Malta. This architectural style never gained popularity on the islands.

The showroom is also said to be "possibly the best example of commercial or retail modern architecture in the Maltese Islands." Its architecture has been compared to the Hoover Building and other buildings in Britain or the British colonies in Africa. The building has a flowing form and a smooth finish, with horizontal lines running along the entire façade, and rounded edges and corner windows. Its main feature is a clock tower in the centre of the façade (although the clock itself has been removed). The building is considered as an Industrial Heritage by the SCH.

* Fawwara Gate: rental agreement of the land where Muscats Motors stands states that the company ought to maintain the historic arch on site.
* Wembley ice-cream factory, nearby on the same street
* Metropolis Towers, being constructed in front of it on the site of the former Mamo Garage (Mira building)

Two of his sons were created earls as Earl of Ely, although both titles became extinct. The third creation of the title was for Charles Loftus in 1789, who became Marquess of Ely in 1800. This title is extant.

# Los Angeles Common Council

The **Los Angeles Common Council** was the predecessor of the Los Angeles, California, City Council. It was formed in 1850 under state law, when the city had only 1,610 residents, and it existed until 1889, when the city had about 50,400 residents and a city charter was put into effect. It succeeded the council of the Ciudad de Los Angeles.

From 1850 through 1869, council members were elected at large under a first-past-the-post voting system, in which the top vote-getters were seated. From 1870 they were elected by electoral districts called wards.

## History

The Los Angeles Common Council was created in 1850 as the city of Los Angeles grew from a remote town of 5,000 residents to a city of 15,000 residents. Between 1850 and 1858, the council had 7 seats and for two years after had 10 seats drawn by lots. From 1870 to 1889, the council had a ward system with three (until 1877) and five (1877 onwards) seats.

The Council had various responsibilities for governing the city, including the responsibility of governing the school system as several members were appointed to serve on a committee for the governance of schools.

In 1857, the officials that were elected on May 6 were deposed and the officials from the previous year were reinstated, though they never took office.

# Pisonian conspiracy

The conspiracy of Gaius Calpurnius Piso in 65 CE was a major turning point in the reign of the Roman emperor Nero (reign 54–68). The plot reflected the growing discontent among the ruling class of the Roman state with Nero's increasingly despotic leadership, and as a result is a significant event on the road toward his eventual suicide and the chaos of the Year of the Four Emperors which followed.

## Plot

Gaius Calpurnius Piso, a leading Roman statesman, benefactor of literature, and orator, intended to have Nero assassinated, and replace him as emperor through acclamation by the Praetorian Guard. The conspiracy emerged in AD 65, enlisting the support of several prominent senators, equestrians, and soldiers. According to the Roman historian Tacitus, the ringleaders included a Praetorian tribune named Subrius Flavus, and a centurion named Sulpicius Asper, who helped Piso devise the plot, among others. The conspirators were said to have varying motives. Some wished to replace Nero with a better emperor; others wished to be free of emperors altogether, and to restore a purely republican form of government.

The conspiracy was put in jeopardy by a woman named Epicharis, who divulged parts of the plan to Volusius Proculus, commanding a fleet in Misenum. Epicharis was involved with the conspiracy and was attempting to move it along faster. When Proculus complained to Epicharis that Nero did not favor him, she informed him of the conspiracy. Proculus informed Nero of the conspiracy and Epicharis was arrested. Though she denied the accusations, the conspiracy collapsed and Epicharis was tortured brutally. While on transport to be tortured a second time, she committed suicide by strangling herself with her own girdle. The conspirators, acting more quickly, rejected a plan to kill Nero at Baiae, but settled on murdering him in Rome at games. They had a loosely conceived plan in which Faenius Rufus – joint prefect of the Praetorian Guard with Ofonius Tigellinus – would conduct Piso to the Praetorian Camp, where the Guard would acclaim him as emperor.

On the morning that the conspirators' plot was to be carried out – 19 April – a freedman named Milichus informed on his former master Flavius Scaevinus after receiving orders to sharpen a knife and prepare bandages. Tacitus attributes his decision to give his former master up to greed and avarice at the urging of his wife, reporting it to Nero's secretary, Epaphroditus. Scaevinus initially was able to avoid suspicion, discrediting the evidence as circumstantial before giving in under the threat of torture and further evidence from Milichus' wife reporting on a long secret meeting between Scaevinus and Antonius Natalis, another conspirator. When Scaevinus was given over to fellow conspirator praetorian prefect Faenius Rufus for punishment, he inculpated him as well; another conspirator, Subrius Flavus, openly expressed his hatred of Nero in court, justifying with reference to Nero's matricide, crimes, and "parad\[ing\] as a charioteer \[and\] actor".

Nero ordered Piso, the philosopher Seneca, Seneca's nephew Lucan, and the satirist Petronius to commit suicide. Many others were also killed. In Plutarch's version, one of the conspirators remarked to a condemned prisoner that all would change soon (because Nero would be dead). The prisoner reported the conversation to Nero, who had the conspirator tortured until he confessed the plot. The ancient Roman historian Tacitus writes in his *Annals* that "it was rumoured that Subrius Flavus and the centurions had decided in private conference... that, once Nero had been struck down by the agency of Piso, Piso should be disposed of... and the empire made over to Seneca; who would thus appear to have been chosen for the supreme power by innocent men".

## Named conspirators

At least 41 individuals were accused of being part of the conspiracy. Of the known 41, there were 19 senators, seven equites, 11 soldiers, and four women.

### Executed or forced to commit suicide

Piso, Plautius Lateranus, Lucan, Afranius Quintianus, Flavius Scaevinus, Claudius Senecio, Vulcatius Araricus, Julius Augurinus, Munatius Gratus, Marcius Festus, Faenius Rufus, Subrius Flavus, Sulpicius Asper, Maximus Scaurus, Venetus Paulus, Epicharis, Seneca the Younger, Antonia, Marcus Julius Vestinus Atticus.

### Exiled or denigrated

Novius Priscus, Annius Pollio, Publius Glitius Gallus, Rufrius Crispinus, Verginius Flavus, Musonius Rufus, Cluvidienus Quietus, Julius Agrippa, Blitius Catulinus, Petronius Pricus, Julius Altinus, Caesennius Maximus, Caedicia (wife of Flavius Scaevinus).

### Pardoned or acquitted

Antonius Natalis, Cervarius Proculus, Statius Proximus (but afterwards committed suicide), Gavius Silvanus (also afterwards committed suicide), Acilia Lucana.

## Modern fiction

The Polish writer Henryk Sienkiewicz, in his book Quo Vadis used many of the themes, while the setting took place in the time of the plot. In the last scene of the book, one of the plotters, Petronius, committed suicide after having a lavish party.

The novel by Naomi Mitchison, *The Blood of the Martyrs* (1939), is set in the months leading up to the failure of the conspiracy. It is the topic of John Hersey's epistulary novel, *The Conspiracy* (1972).
