Licinus, Porcius
2. L. Porcius Licinus, the son of the preceding, was praetor B. C. 193, and received Sardinia as his province. He sued unsuccessfully for the consulship at first, but at length obtained it, in B. C. 184; and in conjunction with his colleague, P. Claudius Pulcher, carried on the war against the Ligurians. (Liv. 34.54, 55, 39.32, 33, 45, 40.34; Cic. Brut. 15.)
