Status

  • Patrician

Career

  • Consul Suffectus 393 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Tr. c. p. 391 Liv. 5.29.2 (as the regular Consuls); Diod. 14.99.1, {Gr}; 15.8.1; Fast. Cap. ([- - -Sulp]icius Q. f. Se[r.- - -]); Fast. Hyd. (Flabo et Camerino), so also Chr. Pasc.; Cassiod.; Degrassi 30f., 100, 386f. Lucretius held command against the Aequi (Liv. 5.29.5) and proposed the settlement of the land of Veii (5.30.8; cf. Diod. 14.102.4). In Diod. are mentioned the taking of Labici, the revolt of Satricum and Velitrae, and the colonization of Circeii (14.102.4). (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). (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 383 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • According to Diod. there were only four Military Tribunes, but Livy has Aemilius and Trebonius also, while in Ms F of Diod. an apocryphal Fabius is added. In Diod. Manlius has the praenomen Lucius; see RE no. 9 on his filiation and cognomen. On Sulpicius's name, see 388. On that of Lucretius, see 392; and on that of Aemilius, see 380. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 6.21.1; Diod. 15.38.1; Chr. 354 (Publicola III et Flavo III); Degrassi 101, 390f. They carried on war with the Volscians and a number of Latin towns. On Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 36, no. 6. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 381 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • The name and filiation of Medullinus appear from Fast. Cap. on 363, Censors. On Lucretius, see 392; and on Fabius, see Fast. Cap. for 369. The Chronographer of 354 names Publicola IIII, but no other source places him in this year; on the number, see 380, and see 389, note 1. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 6.22.5; Diod. 15.48.1; Plut. Cam. 37.1, on Camillus and Medullinus; Chr. 354 (Publicola IIII et Tricipitino); Degrassi 101, 392f. Camillus retrieved his colleague's (Furius) defeat, routed the Volscians, and led his forces to a determinedly peaceful Tusculum (Liv. 6.22-27; Val. Max. 7.3, ext. 9; Plut. Cam. 37-38; Frontin. Str. 2.8.6; cf. Dion. Hal. 14.6; Dio, fr. 28; Zon. 7.24). (Broughton MRR I)
