Servius Cornelius Cethegus
Servius Cornelius Cethegus was a Roman senator active during the Principate. He was ordinary consul for 24 with Lucius Visellius Varro as his colleague.
According to the form of his name Dio Cassius provides, the praenomen of his father was also Servius. Edmund Groag notes that the identification of Cethegus' father with one Cornelius Lentulus Cethegus, who erected a monument to his nutrix, "cannot be excluded"; this would connect him to the family of the Cornelii Lentuli, one of the last surviving branches of the gens Cornelia. Ronald Syme also attempts to fit him in the Cornelii Lentuli, but admits the praenomen "Servius" was "used for the last time in the mid second century ."
An inscription at Haydrah in modern Tunisia attests that he was proconsular governor of Africa; his tenure in that post has been dated towards the end of the emperor Tiberius' reign.
