According to Pliny...
A Praetor of the Roman Army who was impeached and exiled from Rome for his Scathing Satires.
"Veiento is not to be outdone, but, as if he were a priest inspired by the spirit of Bellona [goddess of war], prophesies, and says: 'You have a mighty omen of a great and glorious triumph. You will capture some king, or Arviragus will fall out of his British chariot. It's a foreign monster — see the spines sticking up on its back?'"
He was given to showing up as a surprise guest at court, a practice which often unnerved and annoyed his hosts especially those in Rome.
"Aulus Didius Gallus Fabricius Veiento, consul three times, member of the 'Board of Fifteen' for the making of sacred places, Priest of the Imperial cult, Priest of the Flavian Emperors, Priest of the Titiales,¹ and of Attica,² to (the goddess) Nemetona,³ willingly and deservedly fulfilling his vow." - Dessau, Inscriptiones Latinae Selectae - Titvli virorvm et mvliervm ordinis senatorii ILS 1010, CIL XIII 7253, McCrum.155; Mogontiacum (Mainz)
