Gaius Servilius Tucca

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gaius Servilius Tucca was a Roman statesman in the first third of the 3rd century BC. Chr.

Only the consulate with Lucius Caecilius Metellus Denter in 284 BC is of his career . Chr. Handed down. Since the consul couple is almost completely lost in the consular fast, there is no information about Tucca's filiation . He stands like an erratic block between the last representative of the patrician gens Servilia , Quintus Servilius Ahala , who was consul for the third time in 342, and the branches of the Caepiones and Gemini , which appeared from the middle of the First Punic War . His cognomen tucca is of Etruscan origin.

According to Polybios , his counterpart Metellus fell against the Senones in front of Arretium , but that probably only belongs to the following year. Nothing is known of Tucca's activities as consul.
