In AD 33, 38 year old Roman jurist and Curator Aquarum, Marcus Cocceius Nerva, wearied of politics and public affairs and starved himself to death. On the topic, Historian Tacitus wrote: "Those who knew his thoughts said that as he saw more closely into the miseries of the State, he chose, in anger and alarm, an honourable death, while he was yet safe and unassailed on."
