About Gnaeus Cornelius Merula
Gnaeus Cornelius Merula was a Roman diplomat, politician and military personnel.

Merula accompanied Physcon to Crete and Asia Minor, and, after an ineffectual embassy to the elder brother at Alexandria, he induced the senate, on his return to Rome, to cancel the existing treaty with Philometor.
