Lucius Genucius Clepsina

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lucius Genucius Clepsina was a Roman politician around 270 BC. Chr.

Father and grandfather were named Lucius according to the consular fasts , which is why the consul of 303, Lucius Genucius Aventinensis , is considered his father. He was elected consul together with Kaeso Quinctius Claudus in 271 . He probably already began operations against the Legio Campana , the renegade garrison of Rhegium , which his brother Gaius Genucius Clepsina successfully continued as consul the following year .

Nothing more is known about him; later Genucii no longer had cognomen .
