Publius Cornelius Dolabella (c. 85/69 – 43 BC, also known by his adoptive name Lentulus)[5] was a Roman politician and general under the dictator Julius Caesar. He was by far the most important of the patrician Cornelii Dolabellae[6] but he arranged for himself to be adopted into the plebeian Cornelii Lentuli so that he could become a plebeian tribune.[7] He married Cicero's daughter, Tullia, although he frequently engaged in extramarital affairs. Throughout his life he was an extreme profligate, something that Plutarch wrote reflected ill upon his patron Julius Caesar.
