Gaius Terentius Varro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gaius Terentius Varro was a Roman consul and commander. Along with his colleague, Lucius Aemilius Paullus, he commanded at the Battle of Cannae during the Second Punic War, in 216 BC, against the Carthaginian general Hannibal. The battle proved to be a decisive Roman defeat.

Prior to being consul, he had been a praetor in 218 BC. He was elected proconsul in Picenum from 215–213 BC, and in 208–207 BC, as propraetor he held Etruria against Hannibal's younger brother Hasdrubal Barca. He went to Africa, in 200 BC as ambassador.
