Titus Sicinius Sabinus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Titus Sicinius (Sabinus?) A.K.A. - Titus Siccius (Latin, Publius Minucius Augurinus ) was a Roman Republican politician, possibly of the Patrician branch of an otherwise Plebian gens Sicinius.[1] during the beginning of the 5th century BC. He served as Consul of Rome in 487 BC, serving together with Gaius Aquillius Tuscus.[2][3][4]

Family Origins

The Sicinius gens has been traditionally known as a plebian family although it also had a singular Patrician branch of which it is likely Titus Sicinius belonged. He is the only member of his gens to ever rise to the office of Consul of Rome. Although no other members of this gens, almost all of whom were Plebian, rose to that high office, many were later to go on to become significant members in the Patrician-Plebian struggles that dominated the mid to late republican period.

Biography

Titus Sicinius, together with his colleague Gaius Aquillius Tuscus launched a military offensive against the Volsci[2][5] for which he is given a triumph for his victory,[6] obtaining a triumph to commemorate their victories. He later participated in another campaign against the Hernici tribes, for which he won an ovation together with C. Aquilius Tuscus.[2][2][5][7] Dionysius of Halicarnassus names Titus Sicinius as Titus Siccius. Titus Sicinius served later as a legate under the command of Marcus Fabius Vibulanus in 480 BC.[8][9]
