Who is Gnaeus Octavius?
Gnaeus Octavius was consul of the Roman Republic in 76 BC.
A member of the Plebeian gens Octavia, Gnaeus Octavius was elected Praetor by 79 BC at the latest. He may have been the praetor urbanus who introduced the Formula Octaviana, a law which provided for the restoration of property and money which had been obtained by violent acts, or by threats of violence. Gnaeus Octavius was elected consul for 76 BC, with Gaius Scribonius Curio as his colleague.
Scorned as an orator, he was also plagued with attacks of gout, which eventually made it impossible for him to walk.
