Here'nnius
7. C.
Herennius, was tribune of the plebs in B. C. 80, and opposed a rogatio of L. Sulla, the dictator, for recalling Cn. Pompey from Africa. (Sall.
Hist. ii. apud
Gell. 10.20; comp.
Plut. Pomp. 13.)
After the death of Sulla, this Herennius probably joined Sertorius in Spain, B. C. 76-72: since a legatus of that name was defeated and slain by Pompey near Valentia. (
Plut. Pomp. 18;
Zonar. 10.2; Sall.
Hist. iii.
fragm. p. 215. ed. Gerlach. min.) Whether C. Herenniss, a senator, convicted (before B. C. 69) of peculation (Cic.
in Verr. 1.13.39), were the same person, is uncertain.
