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)
Denarii of P. Plautius Hypsaeus bear the inscriptions, C. Hupsae. cos. Priver. captu., and C. Ypsae. cos. Priv. cepit (Grueber 1.476f.; 2.589f.). The cognomen Hypsaeus however does not appear in the consular lists until 125 B.C. (See Cesano, Stud. Num. 1.150f.) Plautius' cognomen (his name is preserved entire in Act. Tr.) distinguishes him from the Consul of 341 and the Censor of 312 (Degrassi 108, 541). (Broughton MRR I)
Liv. 8.20.3; Chr. 354 (Privernas II et Declao); Fast. Hyd. (Mamertino II et Deciano), so also Chr. Pasc.; Cassiod.; Degrassi 34f., 108, 412f. The Consuls reduced Privernum to surrender, celebrated triumphs, and moved to give the town favorable terms and citizenship (Liv. 8.20-21; Act. Tr., Degrassi 68f., 541; Val. Max. 6.2.1; cf. Dio fr. 35.11). On Plautius, see Lübker no. 5. (Broughton MRR I)
