Aulus Verginius Tricostus Caeliomontanus was a Roman politician active in the fifth century BC and was consul in 469 BC.
He was the son of Aulus Verginius Tricostus Caeliomontanus,consul in 494 BC,and possibly the father of Titus Verginius Tricostus Caeliomontanus (consul 448 BC),consul in 448 BC. Alternatively,Titus might have been the son of Tricostus's brother Spurius Verginius Tricostus Caeliomontanus,consul in 456 BC. Dionysius of Halicarnassus reports his cognomen as Nomentanus but the inscription on the Fasti Capitolini more closely resembles the name Caeliomontanus. [2]
In 469 BC,he was consul with Titus Numicius Priscus as his colleague. At the beginning of his term,they each led separate campaigns against the Aequi and the Volsci who had both been setting fire to farmlands around Rome. Tricostus attacked the Aequi but faced difficulties,whereas Priscus fought the Volsci and captured Caenon,the port of Antium,which was the capital of the Volsci. He regrouped with Priscus in order to pillage the Sabine countryside in retaliation for a raid by the Sabines on Roman territory. [2] [3] [4]
Two years later,in 467 BC,after having taken Antium from the Volsci,the Romans had established a colony there. Tricostus was,along with Titus Quinctius Capitolinus Barbatus and Publius Furius Medullinus Fusus,one of the three triumvirs (the triumviri agro dando) in charge of partitioning and distributing the lands of Antium to the colonists. [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
He is possibly the same person as the legate who served under the consul Titus Romilius Rocus Vaticanus against the Aequi in 455 BC. [10] [11]
Antium was an ancient coastal town in Latium, south of Rome. An oppidum was founded by people of Latial culture, then it was the main stronghold of the Volsci people until it was conquered by the Romans.
Agrarian laws were laws among the Romans regulating the division of the public lands, or ager publicus. In its broader definition, it can also refer to the agricultural laws relating to peasants and husbandmen, or to the general farming class of people of any society.
Quintus Fabius Vibulanus, son of Marcus Fabius Vibulanus, was consul of the Roman Republic and one of the second set of decemviri.
