Career

  • Tribunus Militum? 89 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • 11 The cognomen might also be Blasio or Lentulus. Cichorius favors Dolabella beeause the later careers of the known Dolabellas parallel so closely that of Lepidus. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Cos. 72. Sumner presents a good case for identifying the Cn. Cornelius Cn. f. Pal. in Pompeius Strabo's consilium at Asculum with the consul of 72 (Orators 124-126; Shackleton Bailey, Studies 112-113). The filiation given above assumes that he was an adoptive son of Cn. Cornelius Lentulus (178). Cos. 97. See Sumner and Shackleton Bailey, above, and also Criniti, L'Epigrafe di Asculum 108-110; who favors Cn. Cornelius Dolabella (135), Pr. urb. 81. Monetalis: Cn. (Cornelius) (Cn. f.) Lentul(us) (Clodianus). Add in MRR 2.437, and refer to Crawford, RRC 1.356-357, no. 345, 88? B.C. (Broughton MRR III)
