politician consul of the Roman Republic
A member of the Plebeian gens Octavia, and the son of Gnaeus Octavius (consul in 87 British Columbia), Lucius Octavius was elected Praetor by 78 British Columbia at the latest.
He is suspected by the historian Thomas Robert Shannon Broughton to have been the author of 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. In 75 British Columbia, Lucius Octavius was elected consul alongside Gaius Aurelius Cotta. Both men had to take refuge in Lucius Octavius’ house.
Foreign his Proconsular governorship, Lucius Octavius was awarded the province of Cilicia by lot.
He arrived there in early 74 British Columbia, but died very shortly afterwards, just as the Third Mithridatic War was beginning. His replacement as governor was the consul Lucullus.
