    • 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).

    • Valerius' praenomen A. in Livy is corrected by reference to the number iterum (see 394) and Livy 5.26.2 and 6.5.7. Verginius may have been Mil. Tr. c. p. in 402. On possible identifications for Cornelius, see 394, note 1. The identification of Manlius is supported by the number tertium after his name in 383 (Liv. 6.21.1) and the cognomen in Chr. 354 on 385. On the name of Aemilius, see Fast. Cap. for 380; on that of Postumius, see 381, Mil. Tr. c. p. On Papirius, see 382, note 1. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 6.1.8; Diod. 15.22.1; Chr. 354 (Tricosto et Albino); cf. Cass. Hem. fr. 20 Peter, and Gell. fr. 25 Peter in Macrob. Sat. 1.16.22. See Degrassi 101, 388f. Aemilius held command against the Etruscans and Manlius near the city (Liv. 6.2.8). On Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 36, no. 6. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 387 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • According to Diod. there were six Military Tribunes. Of these Livy preserves the names of five, and besides these the Mss of Diod. yield, with variations from one to another, the names given in addition above (CIL 1(2), p. 121, Degrassi 391). The names of Sergius (Servilius in Diod.), Aemilius, and Menenius (see Conway and Walters ad loc.) are confirmed by Fast. Cap. on 380 (Degrassi 32f., 102, 392). Degrassi (101) suggests for the sixth Tribune either L. Cornelius - f. - n. or A. Manlius - f. - n. The numeral tertium (Livy 6.21) after the name of A. Manlius, Mil. Tr. c. p. 383, favors accepting Cornelius here, since Manlius held office in 389 and 385. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 6.5.7; Diod. 15.24.1; Chr. 354 (Cursore et Lanato); Degrassi 101, 390f. Four new tribes were created out of former territory of Veii (Liv. 6.5.8). On Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 36 no. 6. (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 382 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • According to Diodorus there were only four Military Tribunes this year. The confused tradition in the Mss contains no trace of the names Sulpicius and Aemilius; on the others, see CIL 1(2).1, p. 123; Degrassi 101, 392f. Münzer (RE no. 12) holds that both the Papirii of this year bore the cognomen Crassus. It seems probable in the case of Sp. Papirius, since the filiation of the Military Tribune c. p. of 368 was Sp. f. C. n. His name therefore should probably be read Sp. Papirius C. f. - n. Crassus. Münzer would identify L. Papirius with the Military Tribune c. p. of 376 and the obscure Papirius cited in Chr. 354 under the year 374. Degrassi (101) lists L. Papirius as a Crassus but does not suggest any cognomen for Sp. Papirius. An L. Papirius Mugillanus is named in Fast. Cap. for 380 as a Military Tribune c. p. for the second time, but the date of his earlier Military Tribunate remains uncertain. Münzer (RE no. 66) would identify him with the L. Papirius, Military Tribune in 389, who is named only in Diodorus, and Degrassi suggests that his name should be inserted as the one that has been lost from the list for 385. He admits however that the second Military Tribunate of Cn. Sergius Fidenas Coxo could be listed there. I am inclined to place Sergius Coxo in 385, to consider that the L. Papirius mentioned in 389 is imperfectly attested, and to suggest that the L. Papirius who is listed as a Military Tribune in this year is a Mugillanus, not a Crassus, and held the office for the second time in 380. The filiation, however, of L. Papirius L. f. L. n. Crassus, Cos. 336, and 330, indicates that there was an L. Papirius Crassus in Rome in this generation. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 6.22.1; Diod. 15.41.1; Chr. 354 (Fidenas et Grasso); Degrassi 101, 392f. War with Velitrae and Praeneste (Liv. 6.22.1-4). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 380 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • The names are preserved in Fast. Cap. as follows: L. Valerius L. f. [- - - -]; P. (Valerius) L. f. L. [n. Poti]tus Poplicol. III; Connelius, Menenius, and Sulpicius, entire as above; [- - - -]n. Mamercin. VI; Cn. [Sergius - f. - n.] Fiden. Coxo III; Ti. Papiri[us - f. - n.] Crassus; L. (Papirius) [- f. - n.] Mugillanus II. Livy lists six, L. and P. Valerius, C. (sic) Sergius, Licinius (sic) Menenius, P. (sic) Papirius, and Sergius (sic) Cornelius Maluginensis. Diod. indicates eight, and in his confused Mss tradition may be identified two Valerii (of P. the praenomen only), Menenius (with praenomen L.), Sulpicius, Aemilius, Papirius (only one, with praenomen T.), and the apocryphal names {Gr} (add. F), C. or Cn. Terentius, and {Gr} (add. F); Degrassi 393. The nine named in Fast. Cap. have no parallel, and it appears that no college of more than eight was known to Claudius (ILS 212; cf. Liv. 5.2.10; 6.37.6; Dion. Hal. 11.56.3). Clearly Fast. Cap. has the most seriously interpolated tradition. (Broughton MRR I)
