Fu'rius

1. P. Furius, one of the triumviri agro dando who were appointed after the taking of Antium, in B. C. 467. (Liv. 3.1.)

Fu'rius

2. Q. Furius was pontifex maximus in B. C. 449 : when the plebs returned from its secession to the Aventine, Q. Furious held the comitia at which the first tribunes of the plebs were appointed. (Liv. 3.54.)

Fu'rius

3. L. Furius was, according to some annalists, tribune of the plebs in B. C. 307, and prevented the comitia from electing App. Claudius, who was then censor, to the consulship, unless he consented to lay down his censorship, in accordance with the law. (Liv. 9.42.)

Fu'rius

4. M. Furius, defended M. Valerius in the senate from the charges which the Macedonian ambassadors brought against him, B. C. 201. (Liv. 30.42.) He seems to be the same as the M. Furius who in B. C. 200 served as legate under L. Furius [No. 5] in the war against the Gauls. (Liv. 31.21.)

Fu'rius

5. L. Furius, was praetor in the Gallic war, which ensued immediately after the close of the Hannibalian war, B. C. 200. He was stationed at Ariminum, and as the Gauls laid sieve to Cremona he hastened thither with his army, and fought a great battle, in which the Gauls, after having sustained enormous losses, were routed and put to flight. This victory created great joy at Rome ; and, on his return, L. Furius claimed the honour of a triumph, which, after some opposition on the part of the elder senators, was granted to him. (Liv. 31.21, 47-49.)

Fu'rius

6. C. Furius, was duelumir nvaalis in B. C. 178, during the war against the Istrians. He had ten ships at his command, to protect the coast as far as Aquileia. In B. C. 170 he served as legate, and was stationed in the island of Issa, with only two ships belonging to the islanders. But as the Roman senate feared lest Gentius, king of the Illyrians, should commence hostilities, eight ships were sent to him from Brundusium. (Liv. 41.5, 43.1.)

Fu'rius

7. P. Furius, the son of a freedman, was a partisan of Saturninus and Glaucia, and tribune in B. C. 100. After the murder of Saturninus, when the senate wanted to recal Metellus from exile, P. Furius opposed the senate, and refused to listen to the entreaties of the son of Metellus, who implored that tribune's mercy on his knees. After the expiration of his tribuneship, he was accused before the people for his actions during his tribuneship, and the infuriated multitude tore him to pieces in the forum. (Appian, App. BC 1.33; Dio Cass. Fragnm. Peiresc. Nos. 105, 109, pp. 43, 45, ed. Reimarus.)

Fu'rius

8. Furius, a navarchus of Heracleia, was, though innocent, put to death by Verres. He had written his defence, from which some passages are quoted by Cicero. (In Verr. 5.43.)

Fu'rius

9. Numerius Furius, a Roman eques of the time of Cicero, but otherwise unknown. (Cic. de Orat. 3.23.)

Fu'rius

10. P. Furius, an accomplice in the Catilinarian conspiracy. He was one of the military colonists to whom Sulla had assigned lands at Faesulae. (Cic. in Cat. 3.6; Sal. Cat. 50.) [L.S]

Fu'rius

a Roman jurist, who was peculiarly skilful in the jus praediatorium (Dict of Ant. s. v. Praes,) for being himself a praediator, he took a personal interest in the law relating to the subject. It was for this reason that Q. Mucius Scaevola, the augur, though learned himself in every department of the law, used to refer to Furius and Cascellius (who was also a praediator) the clients who came to consult him on praediatorian law. (Cic. pro Balb. 20; V. Max. 8.12.1.) This Furious is probably identical with C. Camillus. [See Vol. I. p. 592b.] [J.T.G]
