Lucius Cornelius Lentulus Lupus (consul 156 BC)

Lucius Cornelius Lentulus Lupus (died 125 BC) served as a Roman consul in 156 BC alongside his colleague Caius Marcius Figulus.[1][2]

Lupus was a member of the Lentuli branch of the gens Cornelia, an elite patrician family. The Latin author Lucilius criticizes Lupus for a decadent and corrupt lifestyle.[3] Lupus was a member of the priestly college decemviri sacris faciundis.[4] He was charged with extortion,[5] yet still became censor in 147 BC. From 131 to 125 BC he was the princeps senatus.
