Lucius Cassius Longinus (tribune 105 BC)

For other people named Lucius Cassius Longinus, see Lucius Cassius Longinus (disambiguation).

In the tribunate, he served with colleagues including Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus.[2] During his year, Longinus passed a law stripping persons who had their imperium revoked by the Assembly of their seats in the senate; the law was targeted towards the defeated general Quintus Servilius Caepio who had lost the Battle of Arausio in 107 BC, and after the battle, was stripped of his proconsular imperium by the Assembly.[3][4]

The tribunate of 104 BC is the only office recorded for this Cassius in T.R.S. Broughton's Magistrates of the Roman Republic.[5]
