Ancient Roman general, lieutenant of Gaius Julius Caesar
Lucius Aurunculeius Cotta (Latin: Lūcius Aurunculēius Cotta, Classical Latin pronunciation:[ˈɫuː.ki.ʊsau̯.rʊŋ.kʊˈɫeː.i.ʊsˈkɔt.ta]; died 54 BC) was an officer in the Gallic army of Gaius Julius Caesar. The little we know of Cotta is found in Book V of Caesar's De Bello Gallico. In 54 BC, when Caesar returned to Gaul from his second expedition to Britain, he found food in short supply. He therefore spread out his eight legions amongst a larger number of Gallic states from which to draw their sustenance during the winter. To the eighth legion, which had recently been raised from across the Po (trans Padum) he added another five cohorts, appointing Quintus Titurius Sabinus and Lucius Aurunculeius Cotta as the legati commanding them.[1]
^Transf. meaning: To appoint or choose as deputy (as the official assistant, lieutenant, of a general or governor) (source: Lewis & Short Latin Dictionary).
