Biography
Lucius Cornelius Lentulus Lupus (died 125 BC) served as a Roman consul in 156 BC alongside his colleague Caius Marcius Figulus.
Lupus was a member of the Lentuli branch of the gens Cornelia, an elite patrician family. The Latin author Lucilius criticizes Lupus for a decadent and corrupt lifestyle. Lupus was a member of the priestly college decemviri sacris faciundis. He was charged with extortion, yet still became censor in 147 BC. From 131 to 125 BC he was the princeps senatus.
