Lucius Aemilius Barbula

Last updated

Lucius Aemilius Barbula (fl. 281-280 BC), or Lucius Aemilius Q.f. Q.n. Barbula, was a Roman politician and general from the patrician gens Aemilia. He was elected consul for 281 BC and was given a command against the Samnites. He invaded the territory of Tarentum, which summoned Pyrrhus of Epirus for help. In 280 BC, he was awarded a triumph for his victories in Tarentum, Samnium, and elsewhere. [1]

Barbula was son of Quintus Aemilius Barbula, consul of 317 and 311, and grandson of another Quintus. His son Marcus Aemilius L.n. Q.f. Barbula became consul in 230, the third and last successive generations of consuls from this branch.

The gens Aemilia, originally written Aimilia, was one of the greatest patrician families at ancient Rome. The gens was of great antiquity, and claimed descent from Numa Pompilius, the second King of Rome. Its members held the highest offices of the state, from the early decades of the Republic to imperial times.

Their name was associated with three major roads, an administrative region of Italy, and the Basilica Aemilia at Rome.
