Talk:Publius Cornelius Lentulus Sura

Mark Antony’s Stepfather
I think it's worth mentioning that he was Mark Antony's stepfather at the time of his execution. Sally quasa 19:28, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Was he praetor when he was killed in 63 BC?
The traditional story is based on the Third Catilinarian, where Cicero says that Lentulus' praetorship and citizenship were stripped (3.14 and 3.15). Berry Catilinarians (2020) pp 72–73, citing Barlow 1994, however contests this:

The open question of whether the Third Catilinarian can be wholly trusted should not be assumed away. Anyway, this is why I removed the (unsourced) portions of this article which asserted that he was stripped of his praetorship before execution. Ifly6 (talk) 05:53, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
