Career

  • Consul 347 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • As the evidence quoted above shows, it is uncertain whether Venno or Venox is the correct form of Plautius' cognomen. That of the Censor of 312 is clearly given in Fast. Cap. as Venox. See Münzer, APF 36f. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 7.27.3; Diod. 16.70.1, under 346; Fast. Cap. ([- - - -Impe]rioss. Torquat[us]); Chr. 354 (Venno et Torquato); Fast. Hyd. (Veneco et Torquato); Chr. Pasc. ({Gr}); Cassiod.; Degrassi 34f., 106, 406f. On Plautius, see Lübker no. 18; Münzer APF 36f. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Consul 341 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • On the name of Plautius, see 347, note 1. In Livy Aemilius is called T. Aemilius Mamercus, but Cassiod. and Diod. have Lucius. Fast. Hyd. and Chr. Pasc. indicate that the cognomen was probably Mamercinus in Fast. Cap. See Act. Tr. on 329. Plautius' command against Privernum may be referred to in coins of C. Plautius Hypsaeus (Grueber, CRRBM 1.476, and 485; 2.589), but see Degrassi 541, on 329. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 8.1.1; Diod. 16.84.1; Chr. 354 (Venno II et Mamerco); Fast. Hyd. (Venoce II et Mamertino), so also Chr. Pasc.; Cassiod.; Degrassi 107, 408f. Plautius held command against Privernum and the Volscians, Aemilius against the Samnites, who sent envoys to treat for peace (Liv. 8.1). On Plautius, see Lübker no. 18. (Broughton MRR I)
