Nerva, Licinius
1. C. Licinius Nerva, a son of C. Licinius Nerva, of whom nothing is known. Nerva the son was one of the legati who, in B. C. 168, brought the news to Rome of the defeat of the Illyrian army, and the capture of Gentius, and the conquest of Illyricum. In B. C. 167, he was one of the six praetors, with the province of Hispania Ulterior. Drumann concludes that he did not go to his province, because at the close of B. C. 167 he was one of the commissioners appointed to carry back the Thracian hostages, which reason is not quite conclusive. (Liv. 45.3, 16, 42.)
