Baebius Massa


Baebius Massa, was a governor of Hispania Baetica in 92 CE. He was an equestrian procurator of Africa in 70 and was promoted to the Senate by Vespasian as a reward for his part in the suppression of a revolt.
In 91 Baebius Massa was governor of Baetica, his last recorded post. Two years later he was accused of plundering the province and maladministration of which he was condemned in AD 93; but he avoided punishment through the favour of the emperor Domitian, under whom he became a notorious informer
Pliny the Younger and Herennius Senecio were chosen to prosecute, and Tacitus mentions the trial briefly at the end of the Agricola in such a way as to imply that Baebius Massa was still an active threat even after this case.
