Members

• Quintus Statorius, a centurion serving under the proconsuls Publius and Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio in Spain in 213 BC, during the Second Punic War. Statorius was dispatched as an envoy to the Numidian king Syphax, whose soldiers he trained in Roman tactics. On a subsequent occasion, he accompanied Gaius Laelius on an embassy to Syphax, but as Statorius was known to the Numidians, Laelius pretended he was a slave, caning him to maintain the disguise.
• Gaius Statorius C. f., a native of Brundisium in Calabria, who was one of the first emissaries sent to Delphi after the liberation of Aetolia in 191 BC.
• Gaius Statorius C. f. Rufus, named in an inscription from Amiternum in Sabinum.
• Statorius Victor, a native of Corduba in Hispania Baetica, was an orator mentioned by Seneca the Elder, his fellow townsman.
