Career

  • Consul 322 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Pliny describes Fulvius as Consul of the disloyal Tusculans (see 323, Tribunes of the Plebs), then Consul at Rome, and triumphator. Tusculum is the original seat of the family (Cic. Planc. 20), but Pliny may be telescoping events a generation or more apart. The name is preserved entire in Act. Tr., Degrassi, 70f., 542. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 8.38.1; Chr. 354 (Corvo et Rulliano); Fast. Hyd. (Cursore et Sullo); Chr. Pasc. ({Gr}); Cassiod.; on Fulvius, Plin. NH 7.136. See Degrassi 108, 414f. Livy's main source (8.38-39) attributed a great victory over the Samnites and a triumph to the{150} Dictator while the Consuls remained relatively quiet; but other sources (8.40.1-3) attributed the victory and the triumph to the Consuls. These were followed by Act. Tr., in which Fulvius and Fabius triumph as Consuls (Degrassi 70f., 542; cf. Auct. Vir. Ill. 32). On the victory and negotiations with the Samnites, see App. Samn. 4; Dio fr. 36.8; Zon. 7.26, a version naming the Dictator as the victor. (Broughton MRR I)
