Gaius Cassius Longinus (consul 96 BC)
(Redirected from Gaius Cassius Longinus (consul 96 BCE))
Gaius Cassius Longinus was consul in 96 BC with Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus.[1] He stood for the plebeian tribunate in 104 BC but was unsuccessful; after his consulship, he may have been the Gaius Cassius which was to assume supreme command against the Marians in the Bellum Octavianum.[2]
He is mentioned by Cicero as one of those persons elected consul without previously holding the aedileship.
