Titus Verginius Tricostus Rutilus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Titus Verginius Tricostus Rutilus is a figure of the early Roman Republic and presumed consul of the year 479 BC. His counterpart was Kaeso Fabius Vibulanus .

His name has been handed down with varying degrees of completeness, but the individual components are uniform.

The Fasti Capitolini call an opiter his grandfather, who is most likely identical with Opiter Verginius Tricostus . His father was named by Haack Proculus , whose three sons are Aulus Verginius Caelimontanus , Proculus Verginius Tricostus Rutilus and Titus Verginius Tricostus Rutilus. However, the genealogical connections are not secured.

The events from the consulate of Fabius and Verginius are a creation of later Roman historiography. Allegedly, Fabius went unsuccessfully against the Acres while Verginius fought against the city of Veji . He should not have been successful either.

According to Livius (III 7, 6), Titus Verginius died as an augur during an epidemic in 463 BC. Chr.
