Editing Marcus Tullius Decula

'''Marcus Tullius Decula''' was a [[Roman consul|consul]] of the [[Roman Republic]] in 81 BC alongside [[Gnaeus Cornelius Dolabella]], during the dictatorship of [[Sulla]]; but the consuls of that year were only nominal, as Sulla had all the power in his hands. ([[Marcus Tullius Cicero|Cic.]] ''de Leg. Ayr.'' ii. 14; [[Aulus Gellius|Gellius]], xv. 28; [[Appian]], ''B. C.'' i. 100.)

His father was perhaps Marcus Tullius, ''[[triumvir monetalis]]'' in 120 BC.<ref>Crawford, ''Roman Republican Coinage'', p. 297.</ref>
