Last night on tv I watched "Quo Vadis" (again) and was wondering about the character Petronius. In the film, he seemed a very wise fellow and eventually committed suicide. Does anyone have any concrete info on him? My online searches revealed nothing other than MAYBE he was the author of the Satyricon.( Please forgive me for not checking with Livius.org first).
