a centurion in the army of P. and Cn. Scipio in Spain, in B. C. 213, was sent by these generals as an ambassador to Syphax, the king of the Numidians, with whom he remained in order to train foot-soldiers in the Roman tactics (Liv. 24.48, 30.28). He appears to be the same as the L. Statorius, who afterwards accompanied C. Laelius, when he went on an embassy to Syphax. (Frontin. 1.1.3).
