Abudius Ruso was a former aedile and he served in Upper Germania as a legate in Gaius Cornelius Lentulus Gaetulicus' army during the reign of emperor Tiberius.[1][2] Ruso attacked Lentulus for betrothing his daughter to the son of Praetorian prefect Sejanus, who had fallen out of favor three years earlier. It is unclear whether there was a formal charge against Lentulus; in any case, he was not convicted, but Ruso was banished from Rome.[2][3][4]
