Who was Lucius Cassius Longinus?
Lucius Cassius Longinus was a consul of the Roman Republic in 107 BC. His colleague was Gaius Marius.
As a praetor in 111 BC, he was sent to Numidia to bring Jugurtha to Rome, promising him safe conduct. Jugurtha valued this pledge as much as the public pledge for his safety. In his consulship with Marius, he ventured to Gallia Narbonensis to oppose the Cimbri. He was killed at the Battle of Burdigala against the Tigurini, a pagus of the Celtic Helvetii.
