This Cossinius, to whom I intrust my letter, seems to me a very good fellow, steady, devoted to you, and exactly the sort of man which your letter to me had described. 15 March. Cornelius Lentulus Clodianus, consul in B.C. 72. As he had not yet been a prætor, he would be called on after the consulares and prætorii. That seems the only point in the quotation.
There was some hesitation about beginning the attack, and the flagging of the conversation was a natural consequence. Sertorius was murdered B.C. 72, in the consulship of L. Gellius Publicola and Cn. Cornelius Lentulus Clodianus, in the eighth year of his command in Spain. Appian adds that when this was known, it created great enmity against Perperna among his followers.
The elections for it, which the new consuls fixed shortly after entering on their office, fell, in evident mockery of the senate, on the two consuls of 682, Gnaeus Lentulus Clodianus and Lucius Gellius, who had been removed by the senate from their commands on account of their wretched management of the war against Spartacus.
But Domitian, though wounded, making resistance, Clodianus, one of his guards, Maximus, a freedman of Parthenius's, Saturius, his principal chamberlain, with some gladiators, fell upon him, and stabbed him in seven places.
The legates are Quintus Metellus Creticus, L. Flaccus, and lastly a case of "rich unguent on lentils" Lentulus, son of Clodianus. And while on this subject I cannot omit mentioning that when among the consulars my name was the first to come up in the ballot, a full meeting of the senate declared with one voice that I must be kept in the city.
