Publius Cornelius Scipio Orestin

Publius Cornelius Scipio Orestinus ( Latin Publius Cornelius Scipio Orestinus ) (about 5 BC - about 20 years ) - Roman military and political figure.

Publius Cornelius Scipio Orestin is the son of Publius Cornelius Scipio (praetor in the year 7) and the father of Libya Cornelius Orestilla , the second wife of the emperor Caligula . According to the assumption of Ronald Syme , he was the son of Publius Cornelius Lentulus Scipio ( consul-suffice in the year 2 C.E.) However, from the inscription ^{[1] [2]} it follows that the father of Publius Cornelius Scipio Orestin did not hold a consular post, and his grandfather was named Publius , which proves the fallacy of this version.

Publius Cornelius Scipio Orestin held the posts of military tribune and decemvira for resolving litigation. He died in his youth ^{[1] [2]} .
