History
Lucius Seius Strabo or Lucius Aelius Strabo (46 BC – 16 AD) was a prefect of the
Roman imperial bodyguard, known as the Praetorian Guard, during the rule of the
emperors Augustus and Tiberius. The length of Strabo's tenure as Praetorian prefect
is unknown, but he held the position together with various colleagues until 15,
after which he was appointed to the governorship of Egypt. With this career Strabo
distinguished himself by attaining the two highest offices open to men of the
equestrian class in the Roman Empire.
His son was Lucius Aelius Sejanus, who succeeded his father as Praetorian prefect
in 15CE, and gained great influence under Emperor Tiberius before dramatically
falling from power in 31ce.
