Summary/Abstract: The campaign of Cornelius Lentulus is mentioned in the Epitome of the 2nd century historian Florus, but is missing in the Periochae of T. Livius. The article opens the notion that the reason for is that Florus neglects Tiberius’ victories in the Danube lands. Most probably Lentulus was commander under the high command of Tiberius and as such conducted punitive expeditions against the Dacians around 10 BC. Considering the fact that the last decade of Livius has been very briefly described in the Periochae, we might conclude that the action of Lentulus had been mentioned in the summary of the deeds of Tiberius in Book 141 of Livius’ History.
