Lucius Aurelius Cotta (fl.Not much is known about the early career of Cotta, who was born into the Plebeian gens Aurelia. By 122 BC, he had been elected to the rank of Praetor,[1] and this was followed by his election as consul in 119 BC.
During his tenure in office, he, along with his colleague Lucius Caecilius Metellus Dalmaticus, opposed the passage of a law proposed by Gaius Marius, then a Plebeian tribune, which was meant to reform the configuration of the voting booths, thereby reducing the influence of the so-called Optimates. He asked the Senate to order Marius to present himself before them; when they did so, Marius responded by threatening to have Cotta imprisoned.[2] After Cotta's colleague Metellus was imprisoned on Marius’ orders, Cotta and the Senate backed down and allowed the passage of Marius’ law.
During his year in office, Cotta may have fought alongside Metellus in the campaign against the Dalmatians; the remaining sources are unclear if he actually participated or not.[3] 2nd century BC) was a Roman Senator and military commander who was elected Roman consul in 119 BC.

Lucius Aurelius Cotta was a Roman magistrate, tribune of the plebs in 154 BC, and consul in 144 BC.
A member of the plebeian gens Aurelia, Cotta was elected tribune of the plebs in 154 BC. During his term as Plebeian tribune, Cotta refused to pay his debts during his term as magistrate, citing the 'sanctity' of his position.[1] His colleagues declared that they would not support him unless he agreed to pay his creditors. Around 147 BC, Cotta was elected praetor.[2]
In 144 BC, Cotta was made the consul of Rome together with Servius Sulpicius Galba where the two entered into a dispute before the Roman senate about which would be the leader of the contemporary war against Viriathus on the Iberian Peninsula.[3] Finally, Scipio Aemilianus proposed a decree stating that neither would lead the campaign, which would instead pass to one of the proconsuls of Hispania, Quintus Fabius Maximus Aemilianus (himself one of the consuls of 145 BC).
Afterwards, Cotta was accused by Scipio Aemelianus of acts of injustice. Although it appears that Cotta may have indeed been guilty, he was absolved of any wrongdoing as the judges wanted to avoid the semblance of his condemnation due to Scipio's great influence. He was defended by Quintus Caecilius Metellus Macedonicus (consul in 143 BC).
Cicero stated that Cotta was considered a veterator, saying that he was a capable man in both his business and personal life.[4]
He had at least one son of the same name, who was also a consul in 119 BC. Through his son's daughter Aurelia Cotta, he was the great-grandfather of the famous dictator Gaius Julius Caesar and great-great-grandfather of the first Roman Emperor Augustus.
