Publius Vedius Pollio (died 15 BC) was a Roman of equestrian rank, and a friend of the Roman emperor Augustus, who appointed him to a position of authority in the province of Asia. In later life, he became infamous for his luxurious tastes and cruelty to his slaves – when they displeased him, he had them fed to "lampreys" that he maintained for that purpose, which was deemed to be an exceedingly cruel act. When Vedius tried to apply this method of execution to a slave who broke a crystal cup, Emperor Augustus (Pollio's guest at the time) was so appalled that he not only intervened to prevent the execution but had all of Pollio's valuable drinking vessels deliberately broken. This incident, and Augustus's demolition of Vedius's mansion in Rome he inherited in his will, were frequently refer

  • Públio Védio Polião (em latim: Publius Vedius Pollio; m. 15 a.C.) foi um equestre romano amigo do imperador Augusto, que o nomeou governador da Ásia. No final de sua vida, Polião ficou famoso por seus gostos luxuosos e pela crueldade com que tratava seus escravos — quando eles o desagradavam, Polião os dava de comer para lampreias que ele criava justamente para este fim, o que foi considerado, ainda na época, um ato excessivamente cruel. Quando ele tentou executar um escravo que quebrou uma taça de cristal, Augusto, que estava presente, ficou tão chocado que interveio para impedir a execução do escravo e ordenou que todos os valiosos cálices de Polião fossem deliberadamente quebrados. Este incidente e a posterior ordem de Augusto para demolir a mansão de Polião em Roma, que ele herdou segu (pt)
  • Publius Vedius Pollio, död 15 f.Kr., var en romersk man av riddarståndet (ordo equester), en equites, under första århundradet före Kristi födelse. Han var en vän till kejsar Augustus, som utnämnde honom till befallningshavare i provinsen Asia. Senare i livet blev han känd för sin luxuösa smak och grymhet mot sina slavar – när de misshagade honom lät han mata de nejonögon han anskaffat för detta ändamål med dem. Detta ansågs vara en oacceptabel grymhet, även med romerska mått mätt. När Vedius försökte tillämpa detta straff på en slav som råkat krossa en glasbägare vid en tillställning där kejsar Augustus var Vedius gäst, blev kejsaren så bestört att han inte bara benådade slaven, utan också påbjöd att alla Vedius värdefulla dryckesglas skulle krossas. Detta, tillsammans med att kejsar Augu (sv)
