Ofella, Q. Lucretius

A Roman who originally belonged to the Marian party, but deserted to Sulla , who appointed him to the command of the army employed in the blockade of Praenesté, B.C. 82. Ofella became a candidate for the consulship in the following year, although he had not yet been either quaestor or praetor, thus acting in defiance of one of Sulla 's laws. He was in consequence put to death by Sulla 's orders (Sulla, 29, 33; Vell. Pat. ii. 27).
