1. L.CorneliusMerula, L. F., was consul in B. C. 193. His province was Gallia Cisalpina. Merula closed an active predatory campaign by a total defeat of the Boian Gauls in the neighbourhood of Mutina. But since h's victory cost the Romans dear, and the officers of Merula accused him of negligence on his march to Mutina, the senate refused him a triumph on his return to Rome. (Liv. 34.54, 55, 56, 57, 35.4, 5, 6, 8.)
