Biography[]
Lucius Furius Medullinus in battle
Lucius Furius Medullinus was born in Tusculum, Latium in 445 BC to a patrician family, the son of Lucius Furius Medullinus and the brother of Marcus Furius Camillus and Spurius Furius Medullinus, and he was elected Consul for the first time in 413 BC. He commanded a campaign against the Volsci, but he was unable to lure them into battle, instead deciding to occupy the town of Ferentino and cede it to the Hernici. His second consulship occurred in 409 BC, and he captured Verrugo from the Volsci. In 407 BC, he became Consular Tribune, and he served again in 405 BC, 398 BC, 397 BC, 395 BC, 394 BC, and 391 BC. In 407 BC, the Aequi and Volsci recaptured Verrugo and massacred the garrison, but a Roman relief force killed the barbarians as they engaged in plundering the settlement. In 405 BC, Medullinus began the siege of the Etruscan city of Veii, which was unable to rally support among the other Etruscan League cities against Rome. In 394 BC, he conquered Falerii. He died in 375 BC.
