Geta's children and friends, to the number, it is said, of twenty thousand persons, were also put to death on the false accusation of conspiracy; among whom was the celebrated jurist Papinian, who, when required to compose a defence of the murder as Seneca was asked by Nero to apologise for his crime nobly replied that "it was easier to commit than to justify fratricide."
