Caetronia (gens)

The gens Caetronia was a Roman family during the early decades of the Empire. It is best known from Gaius Caetronius, legate of the first legion in Germania at the accession of the emperor Tiberius. Following a mutiny of the soldiers, Caetronius held a court martial at which the leaders were tried and executed by their fellow soldiers.[1][2][3]
