Lucius Volcatius Tullus (consul 66 BC)

Lucius Volcatius Tullus was a Roman politician who became consul in 66 BC alongside Manius Aemilius Lepidus.

[1] In 56 BC, Tullus gave his support to the group who were pushing to grant Pompey a special commission to bring about the restoration of Ptolemy XII Auletes in Egypt.

[1] In 54 BC, he was one of the consulars who supported Marcus Aemilius Scaurus, who was standing trial for extortion.

[1] Largely abandoning politics after his consulate,[1] he tried to stand aloof when the conflict between Pompey and Julius Caesar reached a crisis point in late 50 BC.

In January 49 BC, he proposed sending peace envoys to Caesar to try to defuse the situation.
