Minucianus, Cornelius
a friend and neighbour of the younger Pliny, who calls him "ornamentum regionis meae, sen dignitate, seu moribus," and speaks of him in other very laud atory terms in a letter addressed to Falco, in which he requests the latter to confer the rank of military tribune upon Minucianus (Ep. 7.22). Three of Pliny's letters (3.9, 4.11, 8.12) are addressed to this Minucianus.
