Cossus Cornelius Lentulus Gaetulicus was a Roman senator and general, who was consul in 1 BC with Lucius Calpurnius Piso the Augur as his colleague.[1]
Originally born Cossus Cornelius Lentulus, Gaetulicus was a member of the patrician Lentulus branch of the Cornelii clan.
Despite giving the appearance of laziness,[2] he was given a number of important commands. After serving as consul in 1 BC alongside Lucius Calpurnius Piso, he was elected proconsul of Africa in 6 AD.[3] Whilst there, he fought a successful campaign against the Gaetuli, which earned him the agnomen Gaetulicus.[4] One of the few individuals trusted by the emperor Tiberius,[2] he was sent to Pannonia in 14 AD to accompany Tiberius' son Drusus in putting down a mutiny of the legions there.[4] Later, he was given the post of praefectus urbi in 33 AD,[2] holding it for a number of years prior to his death.
Gaetulicus had at least two sons, Cossus Cornelius Lentulus and Gnaeus Cornelius Lentulus Gaetulicus, consuls in 25 and 26 AD respectively.[5]
