P. Canu'tius

or CANNU'TIUS, was horn in the same year as Cicero, B. C. 106, and is described by the latter as the most eloquent orator out of the senatorial order. Canutius is frequently mentioned in Cicero's oration for Cluentius as having been engaged in the prosecution of several of the parties connected with that disgraceful affair.
