Agrippa Furius Fusus was a Roman statesman who served as Consul in 446 BC.
After the fall of the despotic Decemvirs,internal sedition broke out again. The Aequi and Volsci,taking advantage once more of the instability of the Roman political situation,ravaged Latium unopposed. Titus Quinctius then addressed the people noting the critical discord between the patricians and the plebeians and the fact that the people refuse to take up arms when the enemy was at the gates,preferring instead to attack the patricians. His speech had quite an effect on the people. The two consuls were then able to gather an army as the people were willing to be mobilized to fight the invaders. Agrippa Furius Fusus handed over the supreme command to Titus Quinctius,only keeping command of a part of the army. The Roman army managed to repulse the invading Aequi and Volscians and then took the enemy camp and gathered a large booty,part of which was the result of the Aequi and Volscians' earlier looting of Latium.
During the same year,the consuls were retained by the inhabitants of two Latin cities,Ardea and Aricia,to mediate a territorial dispute. [2]
Gaius Nautius Rutilus was consul of the Roman Republic in 475 BC and 458 BC.
The gens Furia,originally written Fusia,and sometimes found as Fouria on coins,was one of the most ancient and noble patrician houses at Rome. Its members held the highest offices of the state throughout the period of the Roman Republic. The first of the Furii to attain the consulship was Sextus Furius in 488 BC.
Quintus Fabius Vibulanus,son of Marcus Fabius Vibulanus,was consul of the Roman Republic and one of the second set of decemviri.
Lucius Minucius Esquilinus Augurinus was a Roman politician in the 5th century BC,consul in 458 BC,and decemvir in 450 BC.
The Battle of Corbio took place in 446 BC. General Titus Quinctius Capitolinus Barbatus and legatus Spurius Postumius Albus Regillensis led Roman troops to a victory over the Aequi tribes of north-east Latium and the Volsci tribes of southern Latium at the town of Corbio. The Romans had already defeated the Aequi in the Battle of Mount Algidus,so that the Battle of Corbio definitely marked the dominion of the Romans over this tribe.
The Roman–Latin wars were a series of wars fought between ancient Rome and the Latins,from the earliest stages of the history of Rome until the final subjugation of the Latins to Rome in the aftermath of the Latin War.
The Roman–Volscian wars were a series of wars fought between the Roman Republic and the Volsci,an ancient Italic people. Volscian migration into southern Latium led to conflict with that region's old inhabitants,the Latins under leadership of Rome,the region's dominant city-state. By the late 5th century BC,the Volsci were increasingly on the defensive and by the end of the Samnite Wars had been incorporated into the Roman Republic. The ancient historians devoted considerable space to Volscian wars in their accounts of the early Roman Republic,but the historical accuracy of much of this material has been questioned by modern historians.
Lucius Furius Medullinus,of the patrician gens Furia,was a politician and general of the Roman Republic who was consul twice and Consular Tribune seven times.

The Roman-Aequian wars were a series of wars during the early expansion of ancient Rome in central Italy against their eastern neighbours,the Aequi.
The first secessio plebis was a significant event in ancient Roman political and social history that occurred between 495 and 493 BC. It involved a dispute between the patrician ruling class and the plebeian underclass,and was one of a number of secessions by the plebs and part of a broader political conflict known as the conflict of the orders.
Gaius Julius Iullus was a Roman statesman and member of the ancient patrician gens Julia. He was consular tribune in 408 and 405 BC,and censor in 393.
