A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

7. C.Herennius, was tribune of the plebs in B. C. 80, and opposed a rogatio of L. Sulla, the dictator, for recalling Cn. Pompey from Africa. (Sall. Hist. ii. apud Gell. 10.20; comp. Plut. Pomp. 13.) After the death of Sulla, this Herennius probably joined Sertorius in Spain, B. C. 76-72: since a legatus of that name was defeated and slain by Pompey near Valentia. (Plut. Pomp. 18; Zonar. 10.2; Sall. Hist. iii. fragm. p. 215. ed. Gerlach. min.) Whether C. Herenniss, a senator, convicted (before B. C. 69) of peculation (Cic. in Verr. 1.13.39), were the same person, is uncertain.
