Background
Priscus Maevius is a lawyer operating in Rome.
During the events of Rome: Season 1 Episode 11 The Spoils played by Bruce MacKinnon
When Timon goes to look for a lawyer, Priscus is the only lawyer willing to represent Titus Pullo during his trial for murdering Aufidius Dento. Priscus goes to Titus and tells him if he tells the court who paid him to murder Aufidius they may go lighter on him, but he refuses. He also refuses to make excuses for his need for money. Titus is brought to court where Court Lictor states Titus' crime to the crowd. The Presiding Magistrate calls for the first speaker and Accusator Nigidius speaks for the murdered Aufidius. Priscus goes next and gives a weak defense when he tells the Presiding Magistrate he doesn't deny Titus' guilt and Titus is condemned to death in the arena.
