Spurius Furius Medullinus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spurius Furius Medullinus was a Roman consular tribune in 400 BC. According to tradition, there was 400 BC. A six-member college of consular tribunes. Spurius Furius Medullinus exercised his office together with Publius Licinius Calvus Esquilinus , Publius Maelius Capitolinus , Publius Manlius Vulso , Lucius Titinius Pansa Saccus and Lucius Publilius Philo Vulscus .

He is in the Fasti Capitolini as Sp. F [ur] ius L. f. Sp. N. Medullinus mentioned, at Diodor is his praenomen Spurius in Livy is as name Lucius handed. However, with the iteration numbers for L. Furii Medullini, which are otherwise usual for Livius , which are missing in this case, and his confusion of first names in the gens of Furii, which can be observed in several cases, it must be assumed that the first name Spurius is correct. If one follows the information of the Fasti Capitolini, then Spurius Furius Medullinus was the brother of the seven-fold consular tribune Lucius Furius Medullinus and the father of that eponymous Lucius Furius Medullinus , who in 381 and 370 BC. Was consular tribune and 363 BC Together with Marcus Fabius Ambustus held the office of censor .
