A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

1. M.CocceiusNerva, was consul with L. Gellius Poplicola, B. C. 36. (D. C. 48.54.) He is probably the Cocceius who brought about the reconciliation between M. Antonius and Caesar Octavianus,B. C. 40, though this Cocceius is called Lucius by Appian (App. BC 5.60, &c.); and also the Cocceius mentioned by Horace (Sat. 1.5. 28, &c.). He is sometimes considered to be the grandfather of the emperor Nerva, and consequently the same person who died in the time of Tiberius, A. D. 33, which is not possible.
