Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus (consul 96 BC)

Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus († 89 BC) was a politician of the late Roman Republic.

The son of the consul of 122 BC, the same began his political career probably 118 BC with the foundation of Colonia Narbo. As Master of the Mint ( monetalis ) he had about 116/115 BC or 108/107 BC mint coins. In 104 BC he was tribune of the people, and brought a law (lex Domitia de Sacerdotiis ), after the chief priests were to be elected by the people in the comitia populi tributa instead of the current co-opted. The Act was repealed by Sulla, Caesar set back in place and probably lifted from Mark Antony again. Ahenobarbus was 103 BC elected pontifex maximus, consul 96 BC and 92 BC, Lucius Licinius Crassus, together with, with whom he was often at odds, to censor. However, in the suppression of the recently established Latin rhetoric school, which they viewed as harmful to public morals, they worked together.

His younger brother Lucius was 94 BC Consul, his son, also named Lucius, 54 BC
