Cornelius Bocchus

Lucius Cornelius Bocchus was a Lusitanian[1] from Roman Hispania who wrote about natural history. [2] Ancient authors mention his writings, which are otherwise lost. Pliny the Elder provides an excerpt from the chronicle of Cornelius Bocchus and mentions him as one of his sources.[3]
