Cornelius L. f. L. n. Lentulus Caudinus, curule aedile in 209 BC, though the presence of the praenomen Gnaeus, along with the absence of the agnomen Caudinus, are opposed to this connection.

He wished for the province of Africa, that he might conclude the war with Carthage; but this well-earned glory was reserved for Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus by the Senate.

Scipio used to say, that but for Lentulus' greediness he should have destroyed Carthage.{{sfn|Livy|2018|pp=xxx.40–44}} Cn. Lentulus was proconsul in Hither Spain in 199 BC, and received an ovation for his services.{{sfn|Livy|2018|pp=xxxi.50, xxxiii.27}}
