Life

Probably afterwards as proconsul , but perhaps also during his praetur or his consulate, he was probably governor in Gallia Cisalpina . Upon his return he was charged with alleged extortion.
107 BC Piso took part in the position of a legate in a campaign of the consul Lucius Cassius Longinus , who had received Gallia Narbonensis as a province and was supposed to fight the Cimbri and their allies. The Roman army suffered a heavy defeat against the Helvetian tribe of the Tigurines in the battle of Agen ; Piso and the consul fell in this battle.
