Career

  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 377 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Aemilius' filiation is quite uncertain (see Fast. Cap.). On the name of Valerius, see Fast. Cap. on 367. The name of Veturius is tentatively supplemented on the analogy of that of L. Veturius, Mil. Tr. in 367 (see Fast. Cap.). On Sulpicius, see also Praetextatus, RE, no. 88, since the numbers III and IIII after his name in Fast. Cap. on 370 and 368 imply that these either listed him as Mil. Tr. in this year or differed from our other sources in their treatment of the years without magistrates. The name Rufus, preserved in Dio. and Zon. (above) favors the identification given first above. See Degrassi 102, 394f. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 6.32.3; Diod. 15.61.1; Dio fr. 29 and Zon. 7.24 (on Sulpicius Rufus); Chr. 354 (Mamertino et Cincinnato). Aemilius and Valerius held command against the Volscians at Satricum while Sulpicius and L. Quinctius recovered Tusculum from the Latins (Liv. 6.32-33). On Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 37 no. 7. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Magister Equitum 368 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Liv. 6.38.4; Fast. Cap. ([- - -M]amercinus). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Consul 366 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • In Livy, Diod. and Cassiod. Aemilius' cognomen is Mamercus; in Fast. Cap. the reading is [- -M]amercinus; hence too in Chr. 354. Fast. Hyd. and Chr. Pasc. place under this year the names Genucius and Curtius, the college of 445, but under 365 have Mamertinus and Lateranus. In Fast. Cap. Sextius' name is given as L. Sextius Sex. f. N. n. Sex. tin. Lateran. (Degrassi 32f.). Sexti n. instead of the first cognomen may be the correct form (CIL 1(2), p.126). Cassiod. has Sestius. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 7.1.2, cf. 6.42.9; Diod. 15.82.1; Fast. Cap.; Chr. 354 (Mamercino et Laterano); Plut. Cam. 42.5; Cassiod.; cf. Fast. Hyd. and Chr. Pasc. on 365; Degrassi 32f., 104, 398f. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Consul 363 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Liv. 7.3.3 (Mamercus iterum); Diod. 16.2.1; Fast. Cap. ([- -Ma]mercinus II; G.'s name entire); Chr. 354 (Mamercino et Apuentinense); Fast. Hyd. (Mamertino II et Silla), so also Chr. Pasc.; Cassiod. (Mamercus); Degrassi 32f., 104, 400f. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Interrex 355 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • After long delay two patrician Consuls were elected (Liv. 7.17.10-12, and 18.1). Servilius and M. Fabius were appointed twice (Liv.). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Magister Equitum 352 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Klebs (RE, no. 13 and 95) is inclined to identify Aemilius with the Consul of 366 and 363, but Sigonius first and Mommsen (CIL 1(2), Index, p. 345) suggest Mamercinus Privernas, the Consul of 341 and 329. As his career extended at least to 316 he would be quite youthful at the time of this appointment. Degrassi (105) rejects the identification with Privernas because there is no space on the stone for an identification line noting the acquisition of the cognomen. (Broughton MRR I)
