Life

Although the historians Titus Livius and Diodorus for the consul Manlius of the year 474 BC BC give first names that differ from Aulus , he is mostly used in research with the Decemvir Manlius of the year 451 BC. Equated to BC, for whom it is unanimously handed down that he led the prenomen Aulus . For this decemvir, the details of the Fasti Capitolini have been completely preserved, according to which his father used the prenomen Gnaeus and his grandfather the prenomen Publius . As the ancient historian Friedrich Münzer thinks, he could therefore have been viewed by the ancient Lenten editors either as the son or the younger brother of the first consul of the Gens Manlia, Gnaeus Manlius (Cincinnatus?) (Consul 480 BC).

The consulate of the year 474 BC Vulso practiced together with Lucius Furius Medullinus . This year Vulso is said to have started a campaign with the Roman army against the Etruscan Veienti , but not fought with them, but concluded a 40-year truce. According to Dionysius of Halicarnassus , he should also have been granted an ovatio , which is confirmed by a fragment of the Triumphal Acts. The tradition, which is generally quite unanimous for the Vita des Vulso, reports that Gnaeus Genucius was the tribune of the people of the year 473 BC. Chr. Vulso and his co-consul Furius had taken legal action because they had not carried out the agricultural law of Spurius Cassius Vecellinus out of opposition . On the day of the trial, Genucius was found murdered in his home, which is why the lawsuit was put down. 454 BC Vulso allegedly went to Athens together with Spurius Postumius Albus Regillensis and a Publius or Servius Sulpicius Camerinus Cornutus (possibly identical with the consul of 461 BC ) to have the laws of the wise statesman Solon copied and also to communicate with the Familiarize yourself with the facilities and customs of the other Greek states. This should have prepared this tripartite embassy for the codification of a general land law. This was also the reason that Vulso and his two companions 451 BC. Were elected to members of the Decemviri legibus scribundis. You belonged to the first college of this kind.
