Career

In 139 BC or earlier, Serranus served as praetor. In 136 BC, he was elected consul together with Lucius Furius Philus as his colleague.[1] The proconsul of Hispania Citerior, Gaius Hostilius Mancinus, had signed a humiliating peace treaty with the Numantines.[2] Having refused the treaty, Serranus sent Mancinus back to the Numantines in chains.[3] In 135 BC, Serranus served as proconsul of Cisalpine Gaul.
