Aulus Manlius Capitolinus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aulus Manlius Capitolinus was a politician of the Roman Republic and the brother of Marcus Manlius Capitolinus.[1] In 389, 385, 383, and 370 BC, he was a Military Tribune with Consular power.[2] During his 389 tribuneship, he served under the dictator, Marcus Furius Camillus, guarding Rome during the Battle ad Maecium.[3] His following tribuneship in 385 was spent fighting the Volsci, who were aided by the Hernici and other Latins.[4] In his third tribuneship in 383, he fought again with the Volsci, who were joined by Lanuvium and other rebellious cities in Latium.[5] During his 370 BC tribuneship, Manlius and his fellow consular tribunes drove the colonists of Velitrae out of Tusculum and later laid siege to Velitrae.[6]
