Lucius Lucretius Tricipitinus

Last updated

When the consuls were absent from Rome, leading their armies in campaign against the Aequi and the Volsci, Terentilius, tribune of the plebs, proposed a law creating a special commission charged with regulating consular power. [8] [3] Quintus Fabius Vibulanus, named Praefectus urbi in absence of the consuls, opposed drafting the law and deferred the vote until the return of the consuls. [9]

The trial of Kaeso Quinctius

The following year, in 461 BC, Tricipitinus intervened in support of the young politician, Caeso Quinctius, who was accused by the plebeian tribunes Aulus Verginius and Marcus Volscius Fictor of undermining the sacrosanctness of their office and murder. [10] [11]

Later career

Lucretius was himself appointed Praefectus urbi in 459 BC, most likely because both consuls Quintus Fabius Vibulanus and Lucius Cornelius Maluginensis Uritinus, were occupied with wars against the Aequi and Volsci. [12]
