Lucius Cornelius Sisenna (circa 120 BC - 67 BC) was a Roman soldier and historian. He was killed in action during Pompey's campaign against pirates after the third Mithradatic War. Sisenna had been commander of the forces on the coast of Greece. He was the author of a history in twenty-three books, all of which have been lost, save a few fragments. Sallust is said to have begun historical work as a continuation of Sisenna's. He also translated a collection erotic and picaresque tales by Aristides of Miletus entitled Milesiae fabulae, which was said to have served as a model for Petronius' Satyricon.
