Lucius Cornelius Sulla was a Roman senator of the Augustan age. He was ordinary consul as the colleague of Augustus in 5 BC. [1] The only other office attested for him was as a member of the Septemviri epulonum, which he was co-opted into after his praetorship. [2]
Ronald Syme believed he was a son of Publius Cornelius Sulla, designated consul for 65 BC, which made him a grandnephew of the Roman dictator Lucius Cornelius Sulla. [3] The son of Lucius, Cornelius Sulla, was expelled from the Senate by Tiberius in AD 17. [4]
