Manius Tullius Longus
Manius Tullius Longus is a figure of the early Roman Republic and is consul of the year 500 BC. Together with Servius Sulpicius Camerinus Cornutus . He is the only patrician representative of the gens Tullia . His prenomen is also misrepresented with Marcus (abbreviated M. ).
Dionysius of Halicarnassus reports that Tullius Longus went to war during his consulate against the city of Fidenae and had a fatal accident at the end of his year in office at the Pompa , which the Ludi Romani opened. However, this is a later invention that was particularly adopted by his supposed descendant Marcus Tullius Cicero - especially to illustrate his trial against Catiline in 63 BC. Despite this interpolation, Friedrich Münzer judges the existence of a historical consul around 500 BC. With the gentile name Tullius as historical.
