Career

  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 406 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • On P. Cossus' name and filiation, see 408, Dictator; on that of Cn. Cossus see Fast. Cap. on 401. As in 407, Livy has Cn. for the praenomen N. in the case of a Fabius; see 421, note 1; Degrassi 96. Instead of Cn. Cornelius, Diod. has the quite different name {Gr} (add. F). (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 4.58.6, and 59.1; Diod. 14.12.1; Fast. Cap. ([- -Ru]tilus Cossus; [- -] Cossus; the rest entire, Valerius with numeral II); Chr. 354 (Cosso et Potito); Degrassi 28f., 98, 380f. They warred upon the Volscians,{80} P. Cossus at Ecetrae (Liv.4.59.3), Fabius taking Anxur (Liv. 4.59.3-10; Enn. Ann. 4.162 V; Diod. 14.16.5), and Valerius at Antium (Liv. 4.59.3). Under them began the war with Veii and the introduction of pay for the army (Liv. 4.58-60; Diod. 14.16.5; Flor. 1.6.8; Zon. 7.20). On Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 35, no. 4. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 404 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • On the filiation of Sergius, see Fast. Cap. on 402; his praenomen M. in Livy (Manlium ED) is corrected to M'. in Conway and Walters edition from Fast. Cap. The filiation of Cornelius Maluginensis is based on the assumption that the Mil. Tr. c. p. of 397 was his son, that of Cossus on Fast. Cap. on 401. In the case of Fabius, Livy probably follows a tradition different from that of Fast. Cap. and Diod., since he has the praenomen C. and treats Kaeso's Military Tribunate in 401 as his first, while they have K. and {Gr}, respectively, and Fast. Cap. treats the office in 401 as his second. In the name of Nautius, Livy's Rutilius is an error for Rutilus and the word "iterum" is equally an error since Livy lists him under 419 and 416. In Diod. the sixth name, instead of Cossus, is {Gr} (add. F). (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 4.61.4; Diod. 14.19.1; Fast. Cap. ([- -Mal]uginensis; [- -Cos]sus II; [- -Amb]ustus; Nautius entire, and Valerius also, except for [L.] f., with numeral III after each; M'. Serg[ius L. f. L. n.] Fidenas); Chr. 354 (Maluginense et Cicurino III); Degrassi 28f., 98, 380f. They captured Artena from the Volscians and continued the siege of Veii (Liv. 4.61.5-11). Colonized Velitrae (Diod. 14.34.7). On Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 36, no. 5. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 401 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • The names are preserved entire as above in Fast. Cap. except [M.F]urius etc., [Cn. C]ornelius, etc., [L. Vale]rius, etc. On the mark of iteration after Camillus' name in Livy, see 403, note 1. M'. Aemilius, as usual, appears in Livy as M., and his cognomen as Mamercus (see 410). Iterum in Livy after Cossus' name is an error (see 406 and 404). As in 404, Livy has the praenomen C. for Fabius (see Conway and Walters ad loc.). In the name of Iulius the Iulus of Fast. Cap. and Livy's Tullus probably stand for an earlier Iullus (see 489, note 1). Diod. omits Valerius, but the following apocryphal name is found in F: {Gr}. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 5.10.1; Diod. 14.44.1; Fast. Cap. (see note 1); Chr. 354 (Camello et Iulo); Degrassi 28f., 98, 382f. Valerius held command against the{84} Volscians at Anxur (Liv. 5.10.2, and 12.6), Furius against Falerii (5.12.5), Aemilius at Veii (5.12.4), and Cornelius against Capena (5.12.5). On Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 35, no. 4. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Legatus (Ambassador) 398 Achaea (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Sent to Delphi to consult Apollo regarding the portentous rise in the Alban lake (Plut. Cam. 4.4, who gives the names; cf. Liv. 5.15-16; Dion. Hal. 12.10 (11)). On L. Valerius, see above; on C. Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 36, no. 5. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Legatus (Ambassador) 397 Achaea (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Liv. 5.16.8-11. See 398 (Broughton MRR I)
