Polyclitus (freedman)

He was sent to Britain in 60 or 61 AD to head an enquiry in the aftermath of the rebellion of Boudica. As a result the governor, Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, was relieved of his command and replaced by Publius Petronius Turpilianus.^[1]

Polyclitus was put to death by Galba in 68, due to his high influence, as a part of the political purge that occurred after the change of emperors.^[2]
