Satrius Secundus
Satrius Secundus was a dependent of Sejanus in the 1st century Roman empire. He accused Aulus Cremutius Cordus in 25 AD. He afterwards betrayed his master, and gave information to Tiberius of the conspiracy which Sejanus had formed against him.

Of the Equites class by birth, Sejanus rose to power as prefect of the Praetorian Guard (the Roman imperial bodyguard), of which he was commander from AD 14 until his execution for treason in AD 31.
