Career

• Quaestor Pro Praetore? c. 75 Cyrenaica (Broughton MRR II) Expand
  • 4 See Münzer (RE) on the question whether he should be identified with P. Cornelius Lentulus Spinther, Cos. 57, and (perhaps or) the P. Lentulus P. f. L. n,. Quaestor, who is named on coins of this period (Grueber, CRRBM 1.406). (Broughton MRR II)
  • Sent to Cyrene (Sall. Hist. 2.43M, in 75, Maurenbrecher, or 74, Münzer, RE). (Broughton MRR II)
  • Quaestor pro praetore. He was sent in 75, or more probably in 74, to Cyrene as quaestor pro praetore, or perhaps, like Cato to Cyprus in 58, as pro quaestore pro praetore to settle disturbed conditions in Cyrene (MRR 2.103; Oost, CPh 58, 1963, 11-25; Badian, JRS 55, 1965, 119-126; cf. J. M. Reynolds, JRS 52, 1962, 101). On his lineage, Sumner, Orators 92-93, 133, 141-143, with stemma, shows that the suggestion of Willems and Münzer (RE no. 238) identifying him with Lentulus Spinther (238), Cos. 57, is impossible. (Broughton MRR III)
• Quaestor Pro Praetore? c. 74 Cyrenaica (Broughton MRR II) Expand
  • Sent as Quaestor, probably with imperium, to the province of Cyrene (Sall. Hist. 2.43M). See 75, note 4. (Broughton MRR II)
  • Quaestor pro praetore. He was sent in 75, or more probably in 74, to Cyrene as quaestor pro praetore, or perhaps, like Cato to Cyprus in 58, as pro quaestore pro praetore to settle disturbed conditions in Cyrene (MRR 2.103; Oost, CPh 58, 1963, 11-25; Badian, JRS 55, 1965, 119-126; cf.
