 Hostilius Mancinus, Lucius - WCD (Wiki Classical Dictionary)
In 148 BC he was sent to Africa as a legatus serving under the new consul Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus, who had been given overall command of the Roman forces fighting against Carthage in the Third Punic War.
Early in 147, while the new commander was en route to Africa by way of Sicily, Calpurnius Piso decided to launch one final attack against another Carthaginian town before the expiration of his authority.
Onboard one of his ships in the Roman naval blockade, Mancinus observed that a stretch of wall protecting Carthage's seaward side was only lightly fortified and poorly defended, since the area (a part of the suburb known as Megara) was surrounded by steep cliffs and the Carthaginians deemed it impregnable.

 The Art of Defamation in Cicero’s In Pisonem
Piso was the probable owner of the Villa of the Papyri, one of the richest houses found in the excavations of the bay of Naples; the charred papyrus rolls found there have been undergoing restoration and study and have so far hinted at an extensive philosophical library.
Piso was in effect recalled and did not finish his three year term as governor; and shortly after taking his place in the Curia he entered a discussion with Cicero from which we retain Cicero’s speech In L. Pisonem.
Piso had substantial properties in Campania and had made his early career there, and Campania was the most hellenised part of Italy, especially the bay of Naples.

They were the Calpurnius Pisos, who were descended from statesmen and consuls, and from great poets and historians as well.
Piso's identity as thus also a Flavian is decipherable from the appearance in the Flavian family line of L. Caesennius Paetus (Townend, Gavin, Some Flavian Connections, Journal of Roman Studies LI.54,62, 1961).
That is the true reason Piso used the literary pseudonym of Flavius; it was not because of his alleged-but untrue and hardly necessary-adoption by Emperor Flavius Vespasian.

 LRB | Mary Beard : Four-Day Caesar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The figure of Piso, 'the four-day Caesar', raises one of the most striking of these: namely, the danger of living in the penumbra of the imperial family; the particular peril of being too well connected to be ignored, or trusted.
Piso himself is commemorated simply with his name and the title of a priesthood he held; recorded with him is his wife, Verania (who survived into the reign of Trajan, when she was apparently tricked into giving a legacy to a man reputed in 69 to have gnawed the decapitated head of her dead husband).
Piso himself may only have been a 'four-day Caesar', but a century on, one of his relatives, Faustina, was married to the Emperor Antoninus Pius, and her nephew became the Emperor Marcus Aurelius.
