Gnaeus Lucius Valerius

Gnaeus Lucius Valerius was a mid-century Yutemond senator and governor during the reign of Octavia I. He killed himself after he was accused by Galerius Antonius Cinna of poisoning him to avoid his trial.
== History ==
In 800 BE, Galerius was granted control over the eastern part of the empire, like Rio and Octavia before him. This was interpreted as a sign that he would be Octavia’s true successor in the Senate and the empire (despite succession laws of matrilineality, patriarchal societies viewed Galerius this way); but Galerius died just over a year later, having accused Gnaeus Lucius Valerius Major, the governor of Rocol, of poisoning him.
The Valerians had been longtime supporters of the Claudians and the Korlats, and had allied themselves with the young Ulpia after her marriage to Seraphius Cinna, the father of Octavia. Galerius’ death and accusations indicted the new First State Citizen. Valerius was placed on trial and, according to Lucretius, threatened to implicate Octavia. Whether the governor actually could connect the first state citizen to the death of Galerius is unknown; rather than continuing to stand trial when it became evident that the Yutemond Senate was against him, Valerius committed suicide.
