Lucius Furius Medullinus (Consular Tribune 407 BC)
Lucius Furius Medullinus was a politician of the Roman Republic at the end of the 5th century BC. And at the beginning of the 4th century BC Chr.
L. Furius Medullinus was a member of the Roman and possibly Tusculum patrician family of the Furier , which can be traced to seven graves in Tusculum. He belonged to the leading branch of the Medullini of his family in the 5th and 4th centuries BC, who derived their cognomen from the place Medullia .
Nothing is known about the beginning of the senatorial career of Lucius Furius Medellinus and his occupation of the lower offices. In the years 407, 398, 397, 395, 394 and 391 BC He was consular tribune ( tribunus militum consulari potestate ). It was possibly identical to the one for the year 405 BC. Consular tribune handed down to us and would be the grandson of a Spurius in that case. Two Furii that fit in time come into consideration: one is Spurius Furius Medullinus Fusus (consul 481 BC) and the other is Spurius Furius Medullinus Fusus (consul 464 BC) . The consular tribune from 407 BC Chr. Is to be separated from the consular tribune of the same name of the years 432, 425 and 420 BC. BC, Lucius Furius Medullinus , to whom the tribunate of the year 405 may also be assigned and who was probably the father. In the years 413 and 409 BC BC was one of the two Lucius Furius Medellinus consul and is said to have waged war against the Volscians during both consulates . The question of which of the two bearers of this name the consulates of 413 and 409 BC BC, but cannot be decided.
