Decimius
4. L. Decimius, was sent in B. C. 171 as ambassador to the Illyrian king Genthius, to try to win him over to the side of the Romans during the war against Perseus. But he returned to Rome without having effected anything, and was suspected of having accepted bribes from the king. (Liv. 42.37, 45.)
