Career

  • 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 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)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 384 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • According to Diod. there were only four Military Tribunes, but Livy has six with the addition of Valerius and Camillus. On Sulpicius and Quinctius, see 388. Livy appears to distinguish between Cincinnati and Capitolini, and so lists this as Quinctius' second Military Tribunate, but T. Quinctius apparently had both cognomina in Fast. Cap. for 380 (Degrassi 32f., 392f.). The two cognomina were combined also in the case of the Mag. Eq. of 367. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 6.18.1; Diod. 15.36.1; Chr. 354 (Rufo et Camillo); Degrassi 101, 390f. According to Plutarch (Cam. 36.5-7) and Livy (6.20.11) Camillus transferred the trial of Manlius Capitolinus to the Petelian grove. Zonaras (7.24) calls him Dictator. On Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 37, no. 7; on Quinctius, Lübker no. 5. (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)
    • Liv. 6.27.2; Diod. 15.50.1; Fast. Cap. (note 1); Chr. 354 (Publicola V et Mamertino VI); Degrassi 32f., 102, 392f. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 376 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Diod. lists under this year four Military Tribunes. Livy on the other hand has the solitudo magistratuum forced by tribunician action begin this year and lists no more until 370. See note 2 for a possible explanation of the discrepancy between Livy and Diod. Degrassi suggests the cognomen Crassus for Mugillanus; but see 385, note 1, and 382, note 1. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Diod. 15.71.1; Chr. 354 (Lanato IIII et Praetextato); Degrassi 102, 394f. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 370 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • On Furius' name, see Fast. Cap. on the Censors of 363. Manlius is probably the same person as the Mil. Tr. of 389, 385, and 382, and a brother of M. Manlius Capitolinus (Liv. 6.20.2). On Sulpicius Praetextatus, see also Fast. Cap. 368; and above, on 377. The name of P. (A. in Liv.) Valerius is given in full by Fast. Cap. for 367 with the numeral VI. Diod. lists only four names, without the two Valerii, and gives Manlius the praenomen {Gr}. Münzer (Gent. Val. 69) follows Mommsen (RF 2.229) in rejecting the Valerii. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 6.36.3; Diod. 15.76.1; Fast. Cap. ([- - -P]oplicola V; [- - -Praet]ext. III; [- - -Ma]luginens. VI); Chr. 354 (Medullino et Potito); Degrassi 32f., 103, 396f. On P. Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 37, no. 7. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 368 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Diod. names only three Military Tribunes in this year, the first three in the list above. On the name of Quinctius, see also Fast. Cap. on 367. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 6.38.2; Diod. 15.78.1; Fast. Cap. ([- -C]apitolin.; [- -M]alugin. VII; [- -Praet]extat. IIII; the rest entire); Chr. 354 (Capitolino et Structo); Degrassi 32f., 103f., 398f. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Magister Equitum 361 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Liv. 7.9.3; Fast. Cap. ([- - - -] M. n. Maluginensis; Degrassi 34f., 105, 400f.). (Broughton MRR I)
