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.
