He opposed by arrangement Sulla's consular bill regarding the return of Pompey from Africa (Sall. Hist. 2.21M). See Promagistrates, on Pompey. (Broughton MRR II)
Munzer (RE no. 7) brings together three notices that name a C. Herennius (cf. also MRR 2.80, 95, and 99). The first names a tribune of the plebs who vetoed ex composito a consular bill of Sulla de reditu eius (sc. Ch. Pompei), dated to 80 in MRR 2.80 on the basis of Maurenbrecher's interpretation of Sall. Hist. 2.21 M (from Gellius NA 10.20.10) that the bill referred to the recall of the young Pompey from his command in Africa (MRR 2.70, 77; see below on Pompeius no. 31). Badian, noting especially Sulla's limitation of the tribunicial right of veto, refers the phrase to Sulla's first consulship in 88, and to a proposal for the return of Pompeius Strabo (49) (Hermes 83, 1955, 109-112; 89, 1961, 254-256; see Keaveney, Sulla 74-75). This removes a difficulty in dating young Pompey's return from Africa and his first triumph to 81. The second notice refers to a C. Herennius who served as a legate under Sertorius in Spain, and died in battle with Pompey near Valentia in Spain in 76 or 75 (Liv. 91, fr. 22W; Plut. Pomp. 18.3; Sall. Hist. 2.98.6M; cf. Sall. Hist. 2.54M). The third notice refers to a *C. Herennius, senator, named by Cicero in Verr. 1.39, who was condemned, along with C. Popillius (3) for peculatus and a M. Atilius Bulbus, ,who was condemned de maiestate, all three of whom had accepted bribes ob rem iudicandam. Cicero next mentions senators who during the urban praetorship of Verres had condemned a defendant incognita causa, and a juror, unnamed, who had accepted funds from both defendant and prosecutor. Syme, identifying these with the ones named before, distinguishes the juror, C. Herennius, as one of the corrupt senators of 74, from both the tribune of the plebs of 88 (or 80) and the officer of Sertorius who died in battle against Pompey in 76 or 75 (Historia 4, 1955, 63-RP 1.282). Shackleton Bailey now holds that Cicero refers to two groups of senators, and that the unnamed juror mentioned above was "surely Staienus" (Very. 2.2.79; see MÅnzer, RE 3A, 2433-2436; Shackleton Bailey, Studies 101-102, , and Onom. ; cf. Studies 44). Accordingly, C. Herennius and C. Popillius may possibly have committed their crimes and have been condemned before 74, and it becomes possible to identify C. Herennius, the senatorial juror, with the tribune of the plebs, and perhaps also, although Cicero makes no mention of his fate, with the officer who died in 76 or 75.
