    • The names in Fast. Cap. are preserved as follows: [C. Se]rvilius P. f. Q. n. Aha[la III]; [Q.] Servilius Q. f. P. n. Fiden[as]; [L. Ve]rginius L. f. Opetr. n. Tricost. Esqui[lin.]; the rest entire as above. Diod. omits the name of Q. Servilius. Manlius appears as {Gr} in Diod., who has {Gr} (in P) for M'. Sergius. The praenomen M. in Livy is corrected to M'. as in Fast. Cap. The two additional names in Diod., {Gr} and {Gr} (in F), are apocryphal. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 5.8.1; Diod. 14.38.1; Fast. Cap. (see note 1); Chr. 354 (Structo III et Cornuto); Degrassi 28f., 98, 382f. When Sergius at Veii was defeated by Veientanes and Faliscans because his enemy, Verginius, refused him assistance, the Senate with Ahala's aid compelled the abdication of the college and the entrance of new Military Tribunes into office on October first (Liv. 5.8-9, and 11-12; cf. Diod. 14.43.5). (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)
  • Interrex 396 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Liv. 5.17.4. On Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 35, no. 4. (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)
  • Augur 390 to after 386 (Rüpke 2005)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 390 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • On the names and authenticity of K. and Num. Fabius, see 391, note 2, and references cited there. Servilius Fidenas is identified by the adverb quartum in Livy. For Cornelius Livy has Servilius but the cognomen and the name Cornelius in Diod. impose the correction. The identification of Longus and Fabius in CIL 6.37161- ILS 9338,2 is probable but not certain, and makes the date of inauguration of the priest in question uncertain. See note 4. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 5.36.12; Diod. 14.110.1; 15.20.1; Fast. Cap. ([Q. Fabi]us M. f. Q. [- - - -]); CIL 6.37161 ([- - - -] T. f. Longo, Q. [Fabio- - -]); Chr. 354 (Longo et Ambusto); Degrassi 30f., 100, 388f. Sulpicius held command{95} at the Allia (Cass. Hem. fr. 20 Peter, and Cn. Gellius, fr. 25 Peter; Gell. 5.17.2, from Verr. Flacc.; Liv. 6.1.12), and on the Capitol (Liv. 5.47.9, and 48.8; Plut. Cam. 28.4) against the Gauls. (Broughton MRR I)
    • The following additional apocryphal names appear in Ms F of Diod.: {Gr}, 14.110; {Gr}, 15.20. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 388 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Iulius' cognomen appears from the Tullus or Tullius in Mss of Livy (ed. Conway and Walters ad loc.; see 489, note 1). On that of Lucretius, see 392, 382, and 381. Münzer (RE, nos. 31 and 94) suggests that Sulpicius Camerinus, Cos. Suff. 393, Mil. Tr. c. p. 391, is the same as Rufus listed above. The two cognomina appear together in the name of the Consul of 345. These two (Camerinus and Rufus) are close to each other in time and appear suspiciously often as colleagues of Lucretius, but Degrassi doubts the identification since at 393 in Fast. Cap. a blank space after the filiation indicates that the two cognomina did not appear there (30, 100). (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 6.4.7; Diod. 15.23.1; Chr. 354 (Capitolino et Corbo); Degrassi 101, 388f. All held comand in Aequian or Etruscan territory (Liv. 6.4.7-12). On Quinctius, see Lübker no. 5. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 386 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Diod. has only four Military Tribunes this year, and makes no mention of Valerius and Horatius. In Diod. Cornelius' praenomen is M. The full name of Valerius appears in Fast. Cap. on 380 (Degrassi 32f.), where Degrassi's reading of the numeral III agrees with Livy's tertium, and ends the doubts raised by Hülsen (Klio 2 [1902] 248ff.) regarding his place in the regular lists for this year. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 6.6.3 and 13-15; Diod. 15.25.1; Chr. 354 (Aluginense [sic] et Cincinnato); Degrassi 101, 390f. Camillus is credited with victories over Volscians, Latins and Hernici (Liv. 6.6-9; Frontin. Str. 2.8.4), then retook Sutrium and Nepete in Etruria (6.9-10), while the Elogium (CIL 1 , p. 191 and Inscr. Ital. 13.3.61) mentions action against Velitrae. Valerius accompanied him (Liv. 6.6-10), while Horatius and Quinctius succeeded to the Volscian command (Liv. 6.9.6). Servilius {101} held command near the city and Cornelius presided over civil affairs (Liv. 6.6.13 and 15). On Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 37, no. 7. (Broughton MRR I)
