Career

  • 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)
  • Magister Equitum 396 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Fast. Cap. ([- - -P.] f. M. n. Malug[i]nensis); Diod. 14.93.2, without cognomen; cf. Liv. 5.19.2, and Plut. Cam. 5.1, both with the cognomen Scipio; Degrassi 30f., 99, 384f. (Broughton MRR I)
    • On Scipio, who is named by Liv. and Plut., and would be the first of his branch of the family to appear, see Hirschfeld, Kl. Schr. 286, note 3, who prefers the version of Fast. Cap. For evidence that the Scipiones descended from the Maluginenses, see RE s. v. "Cornelius", col. 1429, and no. 348. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Consul? 393 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Münzer (RE) identifies Cornelius with the Mil. Tr. c. p. of 397, but Degrassi (100) follows Mommsen in believing that there was space on the stone for a longer praenomen than P. Servius, who held office in 386, is also a possibility. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Fast. Cap. ([- -Cornel]ius [- - -]); Chr. 354 (Potito et Malluginense); Degrassi 30f., 100, 386f. In Fast. Cap. as restored by Mommsen it is noted that these two Consuls did not enter office (CIL 1 .1, p. 19: [non inieru]nt); but Degrassi (100) prefers the supplement previously suggested: [vitio facti abdicaru]nt. On Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 35, no. 4. (Broughton MRR I)
  • 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)
