Remarks

1. ↑ That a Spurius Carvilius 391 BC BC Quaestor and witness in the trial of Marcus Furius Camillus ( Pliny the Elder , Naturalis historia 34, 13), is probably an unhistorical tradition ( Friedrich Münzer : Carvilius 4). In: Paulys Realencyclopadie der classischen Antiquity Science (RE). Volume III, 2, Stuttgart 1899, Sp. 1629.).
