Titus Verginius Tricostus Caeliomontanus was consul of the Roman Republic in 448 BC with Lars Herminius Aquilinus. Little is known about his life.
Caeliomontanus belonged to the patrician gens Verginia,which was of Etruscan origin,arriving to Rome with the Tarquins. They originally only bore the cognomen Tricostus. The first member of the family to reach the consulship was Opiter Verginius Tricostus in 502,in the early years of the Roman Republic. [2] The patrician Verginii soon separated in two branches,one living on the Esquiline Hill,the other on the Caelian Hill,thus taking the additional cognomen Esquilinus and Caeliomontanus. [3]
The Fasti Capitolini are missing between 449 and 423,so Caeliomontanus' filiation has not been preserved. [4] Friedrich Münzer and Hans Georg Gundel thought he was the son of Spurius Verginius Tricostus Caeliomontanus,consul in 456,but it is improbable that he was consul just 8 years before his son. [5] Robert Maxwell Ogilvie suggested instead Aulus Verginius,consul in 469,as his father,with a more credible 21 years gap between them. [6]
Caeliomontanus' career is completely unknown apart from his consulship. He was elected consul posterior in 448,with Lars Herminius Aquilinus as consul prior,which means the Centuriate Assembly elected Aquilinus before Caeliomontanus. [7] [8] [9]
Their year of office was relatively peaceful,as neither consul took sides during the Conflict of the Orders,the social struggle that opposed patricians and plebeians during the first two centuries of the Republic. Livy adds that they did not wage any military campaign. [10]
Spurius Cassius Vecellinus or Vicellinus was one of the most distinguished men of the early Roman Republic. He was three times consul,and celebrated two triumphs. He was the first magister equitum,and the author of the first agrarian law. The year following his last consulship,he was accused of aiming at regal power,and was put to death by the patricians.
Appius Claudius Crassus InregillensisSabinus was a Roman senator during the early Republic,most notable as the leading member of the ten-man board which drew up the Twelve Tables of Roman law around 451 BC. He is also probably identical with the Appius Claudius who was consul in 471 BC.
Lucius Aebutius Helva was a politician and general of the Roman Republic. He was consul in 463 BC with Publius Servilius Priscus,but died of the plague during his term.
Lars Herminius Aquilinus was consul in 448 BC with Titus Verginius Tricostus Caeliomontanus. Their year of office was relatively peaceful,as neither consul took sides in the conflict between the patricians and the plebeians.
The gens Verginia or Virginia was a prominent family at ancient Rome,which from an early period was divided into patrician and plebeian branches. The gens was of great antiquity,and frequently filled the highest honors of the state during the early years of the Republic. The first of the family who obtained the consulship was Opiter Verginius Tricostus in 502 BC,the seventh year of the Republic. The plebeian members of the family were also numbered amongst the early tribunes of the people.
Opiter Verginius Tricostus served as consul of the early Roman Republic in 502 BC,with Spurius Cassius Vecellinus. He was the first from the powerful Verginia family to obtain the consulship.
Opiter Verginius Tricostus Esquilinus is the reconstructed name of the consul suffectus who replaced Gaius Servilius Structus Ahala as consul of the Roman Republic in 478 BC. The fact of Servilius' death is not recorded by Livy,nor by Dionysius of Halicarnassus. However the Fasti Capitolini states that Servilius died in office and was replaced by a man most of whose name is obliterated except for the cognomen "Esquilinus".

Aulus Manlius Torquatus Atticus was a politician during the Roman Republic. Born into the prominent patrician family of the Manlii Torquati,he had a distinguished career,becoming censor in 247 BC,then twice consul in 244 and 241 BC,and possibly princeps senatus in 220 BC. Despite these prestigious magistracies,little is known about his life. He was a commander who served during the First Punic War,and might have pushed for the continuation of the war even after Carthage had sued for peace following the Roman victory at the Aegate Islands in 241 BC. The same year,he suppressed the revolt of the Faliscans in central Italy,for which he was awarded a triumph. At this occasion,he may have introduced the cult of Juno Curitis at Rome.
