Career

  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 388 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Iulius' cognomen appears from the Tullus or Tullius in Mss of Livy (ed. Conway and Walters ad loc.; see 489, note 1). On that of Lucretius, see 392, 382, and 381. Münzer (RE, nos. 31 and 94) suggests that Sulpicius Camerinus, Cos. Suff. 393, Mil. Tr. c. p. 391, is the same as Rufus listed above. The two cognomina appear together in the name of the Consul of 345. These two (Camerinus and Rufus) are close to each other in time and appear suspiciously often as colleagues of Lucretius, but Degrassi doubts the identification since at 393 in Fast. Cap. a blank space after the filiation indicates that the two cognomina did not appear there (30, 100). (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 6.4.7; Diod. 15.23.1; Chr. 354 (Capitolino et Corbo); Degrassi 101, 388f. All held comand in Aequian or Etruscan territory (Liv. 6.4.7-12). On Quinctius, see Lübker no. 5. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 384 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • According to Diod. there were only four Military Tribunes, but Livy has six with the addition of Valerius and Camillus. On Sulpicius and Quinctius, see 388. Livy appears to distinguish between Cincinnati and Capitolini, and so lists this as Quinctius' second Military Tribunate, but T. Quinctius apparently had both cognomina in Fast. Cap. for 380 (Degrassi 32f., 392f.). The two cognomina were combined also in the case of the Mag. Eq. of 367. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 6.18.1; Diod. 15.36.1; Chr. 354 (Rufo et Camillo); Degrassi 101, 390f. According to Plutarch (Cam. 36.5-7) and Livy (6.20.11) Camillus transferred the trial of Manlius Capitolinus to the Petelian grove. Zonaras (7.24) calls him Dictator. On Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 37, no. 7; on Quinctius, Lübker no. 5. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Tribunus Militum Consulari Potestate 383 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • According to Diod. there were only four Military Tribunes, but Livy has Aemilius and Trebonius also, while in Ms F of Diod. an apocryphal Fabius is added. In Diod. Manlius has the praenomen Lucius; see RE no. 9 on his filiation and cognomen. On Sulpicius's name, see 388. On that of Lucretius, see 392; and on that of Aemilius, see 380. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 6.21.1; Diod. 15.38.1; Chr. 354 (Publicola III et Flavo III); Degrassi 101, 390f. They carried on war with the Volscians and a number of Latin towns. On Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 36, no. 6. (Broughton MRR I)
  • 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.
