a contemporary of the elder Pliny, was praetor in Spain, and subsequently the governor (legatus) of one of the imperial provinces. He died before Pliny. (Plin. Nat. 19.2. s. 11, 31.2. s. 18.) This must be the same person as the Largius Licinius, spoken of by the younger Pliny (Plin. Ep. 2.14, 3.5), who says that his uncle, when he was in Spain, could have sold his common place-book (Electorum Commentarii) to Licinius, for 400,000 sesterces. If an inscription in Gruter (p. 180) be genuine, Lartius must be the correct form of the name.
