- From Medulli.—
- II From Medullia.
a family-name of the gens Furia, a very ancient patrician house at Rome. [FURIA GENS.] Medullia, from which the surname comes, was a Latin town very early incorporated with Rome (Dionys. A. R. 3.1; Liv. 1.33, 38), and, since Medullinus appears on the Fasti in B. C. 488, only five years after the Cassian treaty of isopolity with the Latin league, this branch of the Furii was doubtless Latin. The Tullii Hostilii also were originally from Medullia. (Dionys. l. c.; Macr. 1.6.)
1. SEXT. FURIUS MEDULLINUS Fusus, was consul in B. C. 488, the year in which, according to the common story, Coriolanus led the Volscians against Rome. (Dionys. A. R. 8.16, 63; Liv. 2.39.)
2. Sp. Furius Fusus, was consul in B. C. 481. Livy says that his consulate was occupied by tribuntian dissensions, and an inroad into the territory of Veii (2.43). Dionysius represents him as a popular consul (δημότικος), and assigns him a successful campaign against the Atquians 9.1, 2).
3. L. Furius Medullinus Fusus, was consul in B. C. 474. He opposed a revival of the agrarian law of Sp. Cassius, and, on laying down his office, was therefore impeached by Cn. Genucius, one of the tribunes of the plebs. (Liv. 2.54; Dionys. A. R. 9.36, 37.)
4. P. Furius Medullinus Fusus, was consul in B. C. 472, and opposed the rogation of Publiüut Volero, tribune of the plebs, that the tribunes should be chosen by the comitia of the tribes, instead of the comitia of centuries. (Liv. 2.56; Dionys. A. R. 9.40, 41.)
5. Sp. Furius Medullinus Fusus, was consul in B. C. 464. He was defeated, wounded, and besieged in his camp by the Aequians. (Dionys. A. R. 9.62-67; Liv. 3.4, 5.)
6. P. Furius Medullinus, brother and legatus of the preceding, was slain in the Aequian war. (Dionys. A. R. 9.63; Liv. 3.5.)
7. Agrippa Furius Medullinus, was consul in B. C. 446. He was engaged in the Volscian and Aequian wars, and protested against the unjust decision of the curies at Rome respecting a tract of land claimed by Ardea on the one side and by Aricia on the other. (Dionys. A. R. 11.51; Liv. 3.66, 70,71.) The praenomen Agrippa was probably derived from some accident at the birth of Medulinus Plin. H.N 7.6), as it was not a family name in the Furia gens.
8. L. Furius SP. F. Medullinus Fusus, was thrice military tribune, with consular authority: I. B. C. 432 (Liv. 4.25) II. B. C. 425 (id. ib. 35). III. B. C. 4_0 (id. ib. 45).
9. L. Furius Medullinus, was twice consul sul, B. C. 413, 409. In his first consulate he conducted. ducted the Volscian war and took Ferentinnu m (Liv. 4.51); in his second both the Aequian and Volscian, when he captured Carventum (id. ib 54, 55).
10. L. Furius Sp. N. Medullinus, L. F., was seven times military tribune with consular authority: I. B. C. 407 (Liv. 4.57); 2.405, in the year the siege of Veil began (id. ib. 61); III. B. C. 398 (Liv. 5.12); 4.397 (Liv. 5.14); V. ;95 (id. ib. 24); 6.394 (id. ib. 26); VII. B. C. 391 (id. ib. 32; Fasti).
11. Sp. Furius SP. N. Medullinus, L. F., tribune of the soldiers with consular authority, B. C. 400. (Fasti.)
12. L. Furius Sp. F. L. N. Medullinus (son of the preceding), was twice military tribune with consular authority, B. C. 381, 370. In his first consular tribunate he was joined in the command of the Volscian war with M. Furius Camnillus. [Camillus, No. 1.] Medullinus was through his own rashness defeated by the enemy. Camillus, however, rescued him, and afterwards named him his colleague in a second campaign. Medullinus was censor in B. C. 363. (Liv. 6.22_25, 36; Fast.)
13. Sp. Furius SP. F. L. N. Medullinus, brother of the preceding, was military tribune B. C. 378. He commanded in the war with the Volscians of Antium. (Liv. 6.31.) [W.B.D]
