  • Dictator? 499 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Livy dated this dictatorship and the battle of Lake Regillus in 499 (2.19.3-20.13), but was uncertain in view of a rival version which dated{11} them in 496 (2.21.3-4). This is followed by Dion. Hal. (6.2.3-22.3, and 33). Cf. Fab. Pict. fr. 16 Peter; Piso fr. 21 Peter; Cic. ND 2.6; 3.11; Inscr. Ital. 13.3.10; Val. Max. 1.8.1; Plin. NH 33.38; Frontin. Str. 1.11.8; Plut. Cor. 3; Flor. 1.5.2; Auct. Vir. Ill. 16; see Degrassi 88, 352f. All sources agree regarding the name of the Dictator. He celebrated a triumph over the Latins (Act. Tr., Degrassi 66f., 536, in 499 or 496; Liv. 2.20.13; Dion. Hal. 6.17.2); and vowed a temple to Ceres, Liber and Libera (Inscr. Ital. 13.3.10; Dion. Hal. 6.17.2, and 94.3; Tac. Ann. 2.49; cf. Grueber, CRRBM 1.509; 2.309f.; Cesano, Stud. Num. 1[1942] 143ff.). See 496, Dictator; Lübker, no. 15. (Broughton MRR I)

    • Livy dated this dictatorship and the battle of Lake Regillus in 499 (2.19.3-20.13), but was uncertain in view of a rival version which dated{11} them in 496 (2.21.3-4).

  • Legatus (Lieutenant)? 495 Sabine territory (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Served under Servilius against the Sabines (Liv. 2.26.2; Dion. Hal. 6.33.1-3, against the Aurunci). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Legatus (Envoy) 493 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Dion. Hal. lists only eight, but Jacoby notes evidence of lacunae before and after the name of Servilius, but it is not sure whether more than the cognomina have been lost. One of the missing names is Larcius, who took an active part in the discussions (6.81.1-82.1), and whose name may have followed that of Aebutius since the latter's cognomen Helva has apparently been replaced by that of Larcius Flavus. Valerius is represented as the senior member in both Dion. Hal. (6.71.1), and possibly in the Elogium (CIL 1(2), p. 189; Inscr. Ital. 13.3.60 and 78), a version which minimizes the part otherwise assigned to Menenius Agrippa (Liv. 2.32.8 and 33.10-11; Dion. Hal. 6.83.1-88.2). For the many later references to Agrippa's parable, see RE. (Broughton MRR I)
    • List by Dion. Hal. (6.69.3 and 81.1-82.1) of a group of ten envoys, all consulars but one, sent to treat with the leaders of the secession of the Plebs. (Broughton MRR I)
