Publius Cornelius Maluginensis was a consular tribune of the Roman Republic in 404 BC.
He shared the office with Gaius Valerius Potitus Volusus, Manius Sergius Fidenas, Gnaeus Cornelius Cossus, Caeso Fabius Ambustus and Spurius Nautius Rutilus.
There is some doubt among modern scholars in regards to the historicity of these consular colleges of six and there are indications of a higher degree of interpolation during this period.
Other plausible candidates, listed by Broughton and Ogilvie, include Publius Cornelius Cossus, consular tribune 395 BC, and Publius Cornelius Scipio, consular tribune 395 BC.
[8][9] There is a lack of consensus among modern scholars in regards to the identity of Cornelius and the other members of the Cornelii during this period of the Republic.
