Career

  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 432 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • In Diod. the praenomen {Gr} is followed, probably after omission of Postumius, by the name Pinarius. In Livy Pinarius' cognomen is Mamercus. Furius' filiation is suggested by Fast. Cap. on 405. He may have been the Consul of 413 and 409, but the lapse of time favors assigning these consulships to a son of the same name. Instead of Postumius, some Mss of Diod. have {Gr}. Postumius' filiation is suggested by the name of the Consul of 466. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 4.25.5; Diod. 12.60.1; Chr. 354 (Mamercino et Medullino); Degrassi 95, 372f. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 425 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Omission of Horatius' name by Diod. leads Mommsen (RF 2.228) and Münzer (RE) to conclude that his name is not authentic. On Furius' filiation, see Fast. Cap. on 405. For Quinctius Diodorus has {Gr}. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 4.35.1; Diod. 12.81.1; Chr. 354 (Arretino et Mevulliano); Degrassi 96, 374f. Under these Veii was granted a truce for twenty years, and the Aequi one for three (Liv. 4.35.2). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 420 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Livy (4.44.1) has the name of L. Quinctius with the numeral tertium, while in Fast. Cap. only the cognomen Cincinnatus and the number II is preserved. The Chronographer has merely the cognomen and the number III. Evidently the two brothers have been confused. The numeral II in Fast. Cap. points to Titus. On the name of Medullinus (with the praenomen Sex. in the best Mss of Livy), see 432 and 425. The number III in Fast. Cap. and iterum in Livy mark either a mistake in Livy, or, if Livy is correct, possibly an interchange of numbers between Quinctius and Furius on the stone; see Degrassi 96. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 4.44.1; Fast. Cap. ([- -] Cincinnatus II; [- -Me]dullinus III; M. Manl[ius- -]; A. Sempro[nius- -]); Chr. 354 (Cincinnato III et Vulso II); Degrassi 26f., 96, 376f. Sempronius presided over the election of Quaestors (Liv. 4.44.2-5). On T. Quinctius, see Lübker no. 4. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Consul 413 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • In Diod. and Cassiod. Cornelius has the praenomen Marcus, which is otherwise unattested in this branch of the Cornelii. He may be identified with the Dictator of 385. It is uncertain whether to attribute the consulships of Furius to an elder L. Furius Medullinus, who was Mil. Tr. c. p. in 432, 425, and 420, or to a younger one, probably his son, who according to Fast. Cap., held the Military Tribunates listed above. Livy appears to include one of the earlier occasions in the career of the Mil. Tr. of 407, but from 398 on his numbering appears to agree with that in Fast. Cap. The dates of these consulships tend to favor the younger man. See Münzer, RE, loc. cit. on both these men. Degrassi (98) leaves the question open. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 4.51.1; Diod. 13.43.1; Chr. 354 (Medulliano et Cosso); Cassiod.; Degrassi 98, 378f. Aided the Hernici against the Volscians (Liv. 4.51.7-8). Placed in charge of the quaestio on the death of Postumius (Liv. 4.51.2-4; Flor. 1.17.1-2; Zon. 7.20; see 414; Rotondi 213). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Consul 409 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • For Cornelius Diod. has Pompeius; on Furius' identification and consulships, see 413, note 1; Degrassi 98. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 4.54.1; Diod. 13.80.1; Fast. Cap. ([- -]s A. f. M. n. Coss[u]s; [- -] Medullin. II); Chr. 354 (Cosso et Medulliano); Fast. Hyd. (Casso et Mudillino), so also Chr. Pasc.; Cassiod.; Degrassi 28f., 98, 378f. That one or both Consuls made war on the Aequi and the Volscians{78} is variously stated in the tradition, but Arx Carventana was lost and Verrugo was taken (Liv. 4.55.1-8). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 407 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • On Furius ({Gr}, Diod.), who is stated by Livy to hold the office for the second time but has no mark of iteration in Fast. Cap., see 413, note 1. For Valerius' name, combine Fast. Cap. on 415 and here. In Livy Fabius has the praenomen Cn.; see however 421, note 1, and 415, note 1; Degrassi 96. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 4.57.12; Diod. 14.3.1; Fast. Cap. ([- -] n. Potit(us) Volusus II; [- -] Medullinus; and the others entire, both with numeral II); Chr. 354 (Voluso II et Structo III); Degrassi 28f., 98, 380f. They lost Verrugo to the Volscians (Liv. 4.58.3-5; Diod. 14.11.5). On Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 36, no. 5. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 405 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Diod. gives the number as six, but omits Cincinnatus, Furius, and Aemilius; and has Mamilius for Manlius. On T. Quinctius see 421; he was Capitolini f. (Liv. 4.43.1). For Iulius' cognomen, see 489, note 1 (Tullus, Liv.; Iulus, Fast. Cap.). On Furius, see 413, note 1; the numeral in Livy is tertium. Livy's praenomen for Aemilius, M., is corrected to M'. as in Fast. Cap.; for his cognomen Livy has Mamercus. These magistrates are differently ordered in each of our three chief sources. Livy's order is followed above. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 4.61.1; Diod. 14.17.1; Fast. Cap. ([- -]) Iulus II; [- -Capit]olin. Barb[at.]; [- -Cinc]innatus II; the others entire, Furius with numeral II); Chr. 354 (Iulo II et Mamertino); Degrassi 28f., 98, 380f. These began the siege of Veii (Liv. 4.61.2). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 398 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Diod. gives the total number as six, but makes no mention of Valerius Maximus and Furius Medullinus, while in F are added the apocryphal names listed above ({Gr}). In Fast. Cap. the names are preserved as follows: [L. Valeriu]s L. f. P. Potitus V; [M. Valerius] M. f. M. n. Lactucin. Maxum.; [- -Camillu]s II; L. Furiu[s L.] f. Sp. n. Medullin. III; Q. Servilius [Q. f. p. n. Fi]denas II; Q. Sulpicius Ser. [f- ]. On the cognomen Lactucinus, see Pliny NH 19.59. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 5.14.5; Diod. 14.82.1; Fast. Cap. (see note 1); Chr. 354 (Potito et Medulliano); Degrassi 28f., 99, 384f. Abdicated before the end of their term (Plut. Cam. 2.5). Valerius Potitus ravaged Faliscan territory (Liv. 5.14.7), while the rest, except Camillus, pressed the siege of Veii (Liv. 5.15; Dion. Hal. 12.11-13). On L. Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 35, no. 4; on M. Valerius, 49, no. 47. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 397 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • The names are preserved in Fast. Cap. as follows: [- - - - -Iulu]s II; [- - - -Medulli]nus IV; [- - - -Regille]nsis; L. Sergius M'. f. n. [- - - -]; P. Cornelius P. f. [- - - -]; A. Manlius A. f. C [n. n.- - - -]. Diod. indicates a total of six names but omits Furius and Iulius, while in F are added the unidentifiable names {Gr} and '{Gr}. On the name of Iulius see Fast. Cap. 401, and 489, note 1, and note the readings Tullus and Silius Tullus in Mss of Livy 5.16.1 (ed. Conway and Walters). On the filiation of Cornelius, see Fast. Cap. on 396, Master of Horse. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 5.16.1 and 5, and 17.1; Diod. 14.85.1; Fast. Cap. (see note 1); Chr. 354 (Iulo II et Fidenas); Degrassi 28f., 99, 384f. There was war this year with Volscians, Aequi, Veientanes, Faliscans, Capenates, and raiders from Tarquinii (Liv. 5.16.2-8). The whole college was compelled to abdicate before the end of the year because of a faulty election (Liv. 5.17.2-3; not noted in Fast. Cap.). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 395 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • The names are preserved as follows in Fast. Cap.: [- - - -] Co[s]sus; [- - - -] Scipio; [- - -Ambu]stus III; L. Fu[rius- - - -]. The names of the two Cornelii have been confused in the Mss of Diod., see Degrassi 385. On Scipio, see 394, note 1. K. Fabius is listed in Livy as iterum but in Fast. Cap. as III: see 404 and 401. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 5.24.1; Diod. 14.94.1; Fast. Cap. (see note 1); Chr. 354 (Cosso et Medulliano); Degrassi 30f., 99, 384f. Valerius and Servilius made Capena sue for peace (Liv. 5.24.3), while the two Cornelii ravaged Faliscan territory (Liv. 5.24.2-3; cf. Diod. 14.96.5). On Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 49, no. 47. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 394 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • According to Diod. There were only three Military Tribunes c. p. (14.97.1; and 15.2.1). On Medullinus' many magistracies, see RE no. 65; 413, note 1. Aemilius' name is completed from Fast. Cap. and Chr. 354 on 391. Postumius is probably a Censor of 380; see that year. Cornelius, now holding{91} the magistracy for the second time (Liv.), may be Scipio (RE 328; Mil. Tr. c. p. 395) or Cossus (120; Mil. Tr. c. p. 395) or Maluginensis (252; Mil. Tr. c. p. 397), preferably the last, though there are several examples in these times of persons who held this office in successive years. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 5.25.2; Diod. 14.97.1; 15.2.1; Fast. Cap. ([- -Camillu]s III); Chr. 354 (Camello III et Publicola); Degrassi 30f., 99f., 386f. Camillus reduced Falerii to surrender (Liv. 5.26.3-27.15; Dion. Hal. 13.1-2; Val. Max. 6.5.1; Plut. Cam. 9-11; Frontin. Str. 4.4.1; Polyaen. 8.7; Dio fr. 24; Eutrop. 1.20; Auct. Vir. Ill. 23; Zon. 7.21; cf. Diod. 14.96.5, and 98.5); while Aemilius and Postumius operated against the Aequi (Liv. 5.28.6-13; cf. Diod. 14.98.5). On Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 36, no. 6. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 391 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • The names are preserved as follows in Fast. Cap.: L. Aimilius Mam. f.M. [- - - -]; Agripp. Furius Sex. [- - - -]; [C. Ai]milius Ti. f. Ti. n. [- - - -]. Münzer (RE) identifies Lucretius Flavus, Cos. Suff. 393, with the Mil. Tr. of this year. On the name of Sulpicius, see 393. Aemilius' praenomen is L. in Fast. Cap. and Diod., but M. in Livy (iterum added in V). Fast. Cap. is consistent, since he is recorded with the numeral VI in 380, while Livy starts the series with 389. The cognomen of Agrippa Furius is merely a conjecture from other occurrences in the family. Neither Agrippa Furius nor C. Aemilius is named in Diod. 15.15, though {Gr} and {Gr} are named in 14.107. In both passages only four Military Tribunes are indicated for this year. Accordingly Mommsen (RF 2.228f.) doubts Agrippa Furius. Frontinus (Str. 2.8.2) however mentions Furius Agrippa Consul. These magistrates entered office on the Kalends of Quinctilis. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 5.32.1; Diod. 14.107.1; 15.15.1; Fast. Cap. (see note 1); Chr. 354 (Tricipitino et Mamertino); Degrassi 30f., 100, 386f. C. Aemilius and Lucretius forced Volsinii to sue for terms and accept a twenty year truce, while Sulpicius and Agrippa Furius raided Suppinate territory (Liv. 5.32.2-5; cf. Diod. 14.109.7).
