Career

  • 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)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 369 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Servilius may be a son of the Mil. Tr. of 386. The cognomen and filiation of Veturius are based on that of L. Veturius, Mil. Tr. 368 and 367, who may be his brother. Quinctius is omitted by Diod. who lists only five names. His cognomen is only a conjecture. According to Münzer, RE no. 249, Cornelius Maluginensis may possibly be identified with no. 248, the Censor Suffectus of 393. For Fabius, Diod. has {Gr}. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 6.36.6; Diod. 15.77.1; Fast. Cap. ([- - -]n. Cossus; [- -Mal]uginensis; [- - -Cicur]in. [I]I; and Fabius' name entire); Chr. 354 (Fidenas III et Maluginense); Degrassi 32f., 103, 396f. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Censor 363 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Of Fabius' name only the cognomen Ambustus is preserved in Fast. Cap.; he is almost certainly the Military Tribune listed above. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Fast. Cap. ([- -] Ambustus; Furius' name entire), Degrassi 32f., 104, 400f. (Broughton MRR I)
