Nepos

Nepos, Cornelius, a Roman historian of the 1st century before Christ, was a native of Verona. He died some year between 30 and 20 B.C. Little is known of his life, but that he was a friend of Cicero and Catullus. The only extant work of Nepos is his De Viris lllustribus, and even of this the authorship is doubtful.
