Lentulus
34. L. Cornelius Lentulus, L. F., son of the last, and also flamen of Mars (ad Att. 4.16, 9, 12.7, ad Q. Fr. 3.1, 15). He defended M. Scaurus, in B. C. 54, when accused of extortion (Ascon. ad Cic. Scaur. 100.1): he accused Gabinius of high treason, about the same time, but was suspected of collusion (ad Q. Fr. l.c., ad Att. 4.16, 9). In the Philippics he is mentioned as a friend of Antony's; and he was appointed by the latter to a province, but made no use of the appointment, in B. C. 44 (Philipp. 3.10). He struck coins as priest of Mars (Ultor), B. C. 20, to commemorate the recovery of the standards from the Parthians, by Augustus (D. C. 54.8; Vaill. Cornel. No. 38).
