Publius Cornelius Dolabella the Younger, son of Publius Cornelius Dolabella, consul in 10 BC.
Publius Cornelius Dolabella the Younger is famous for having reconstructed the so-called Arch of Dolabella in Rome in 10 BC together with his co-consul Caius Iunius Silanus. In fact the arch is one of the ancient gates of the Servian wall surrounding Rome from the fourth century BC. Its proper name was Porta Caelimontana, and it gives access to the picturesque street known as Clivus Scauri. Later, Nero used it for his aqueduct to the Palatine Hill.
