Mancīnus, C. Hostilius
A Roman who was consul in B.C. 137. He was defeated by the Numantines, and purchased his safety by making a peace with them. The Senate refused to recognize it, and went through the hypocritical ceremony of delivering him over to the enemy, who refused to accept him. On his return to Rome he was expelled from the Senate by the tribune P. Rutilius on the ground that he had lost his citizenship, as being still technically a prisoner (see postliminium); but his rights were restored by a special law (Vell. Pat. ii. 1).
