LENTULUS

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 430 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LAP-LEO
LENTULUS , the name of a
Roman
  patrician family of the Cornelian gens, derived from lentes (" lentils "), which its
oldest
  members were fond of cultivating (according to
Pliny
 , Nat. Hist. xviii. 3, 1o). The word Lentulitas (" Lentulism "; cf. ApJiietas) is coined by Cicero (Ad Farm iii. 7, 5 ) to
express
  the attributes of a pronounced aristocrat. The three first of the name were L.
Cornelius
  Lentulus (
consul
  327 B.C.), Servius
Cornelius
  Lentulus (
consul
  303) and L. Cornelius Lentulus Caudinus (consul 275). Their connexion with the later Lentuli (especially those of the Ciceronian period) is very obscure and difficult to establish. The following members of the family deserve mention.
