A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

1. P.CorneliusDolabellaMaximus, was consul in B. C. 283 with Cn. Domitius Calvinus, and in that year conquered the Senones, who had defeated the praetor L. Caecilius, and murdered the Roman ambassadors. Owing to the loss of the consular Fasti for that time we do not hear of his triumph, though he undoubtedly celebrated his victory by a triumph. In B. C. 279 he, together with C. Fabricius and Q. Aemilius, went to Pyrrhus as ambassadors to effect an exchange of prisoners. (Eutrop. 2.6; Florus, 1.13; Appian, Samnit. 6, Gall. 11; Dionys. Excerpt, p. 2344, ed. Reiske, and p. 75, ed. Frankfurt.)
