Career

  • Consul 305 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • The name of Postumius Megellus is preserved entire in Act. Tr. for 294. In the case of Minucius, Diod. and Fast. Cap. agree upon the praenomen Ti., but Livy and Cassiod. have T. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 9.44.2; Diod. 20.81.1; Fast. Cap. ([- -] Megellus; Ti. Mi[nucius- -]); Chr. 354 (Megello et Augurino); Fast. Hyd. (Metello et Minucio), so also Chr. Pasc.; Cassiod.; Degrassi 38f., 111, 422f. According to Livy's main source, both Consuls defeated the Samnites, captured Bovianum, and celebrated triumphs, but other authors, he says, relate that Minucius died of wounds (Liv. 9.44.5-15). These were evidently followed by Fast. Cap., nor are the triumphs listed in Act. Tr. (see Degrassi 542f.). Diod. mentions no Consul Suffectus, but tells the reduction of the Paeligni, the defeat of Samnites in the Ager Falernus, the death of Gellius, the Samnite leader, and the recapture of Sora, Arpinum and Cesennia (20.90.3-4). On Postumius, see Lübker no. 22. (Broughton MRR I)
