Lucius Lucretius Tricipitinus was a Roman senator in the fifth century BC, and was consul with Titus Veturius Geminus Cicurinus in 462 BC.
Tricipitinus was the son of a Titus Lucretius, and grandson of Titus Lucretius Tricipitinus, consul in 508 and 504 BC. His complete name was Lucius Lucretius T.f. T.n. Tricipitinus.[2]
In 462 BC, he was elected consul with Titus Veturius Geminus Cicurinus.[2] The Romans recovered from a severe epidemic that occurred the year before and had taken the two consuls Publius Servilius Priscus Structus and Lucius Aebutius Helva, the augurs Titus Verginius Tricostus Rutilus and Manius Valerius Volusus Maximus, and the Curio MaximusServius Sulpicius Camerinus Cornutus.[2] Before the end of his consulship, a series of interreges were nominated in order to organize new elections. This they conducted during the term of the interrex, Publius Valerius Poplicola in 462 BC.[3]
The Aequi and Volsci attempted to take advantage of the consequences of the epidemic and attacked the territories of Rome and the Hernici. Geminus easily put the Volsci to flight while Lucius Lucretius inflicted a serious defeat against the pillagers, recovering the loot that they had taken from Roman territory.[4] For these victories, Lucius Lucretius was given the honor of celebrating a triumph and Geminus was given an Ovation.[5][6][7]
執政官たちがアエクイ族とウォルスキ族に対する軍事作戦で軍を率いローマを離れていたとき、平民の護民官テレンティリウスは、執政官の権力を統制する特別委員会を設置する法律を提案した。[ 8 ] [ 3 ]執政官不在の都市長官に任命されたクィントゥス・ファビウス・ウィブラヌスは法律の起草に反対し、執政官が戻るまで投票を延期した。[ 9 ]
翌年、紀元前461年、トリキピティヌスは、平民の護民官アウルス・ウェルギニウスとマルクス・ウォルスキウス・フィクトルから職務の神聖性を損ない殺害したとして告発されていた若い政治家カエソ・クィンクティウスを支援するために介入した。[ 10 ] [ 11 ]
ルクレティウス自身も紀元前 459 年にプレフェクトゥス・ウルビに任命されたが、これは恐らく執政官のクイントゥス・ファビウス・ヴィブラヌスとルキウス・コルネリウス・マルギネンシス・ウリティヌスの両名がアエクイ族とヴォルスキ族に対する戦争に夢中になっていたためと考えられる。[ 12 ]
