A letter from Octavian to Maecenas mocking his heritage addresses him as the "beryl" of this figure, and the colloquial phrase "to sell the goods" of this person arose from his donation of his well stocked camp to an enemy army. This figure was saved from death when a would-be assassin mistook his scribe for him, and that assassin thrust his right hand into a fire in an act of defiance against this figure. After one conflict, this leader rewarded the bravery of (*) maiden who escaped while being held hostage, and during another attack this leader was opposed by Spurius Lartius and Titus Herminius on the right flank, who withdrew and began to disassemble the Pons Sublicius. For 10 points, name this figure who rewarded the bravery of Mucius Scaevola and Cloelia, a king of Clusium and Etruscan ally of Tarquinius Superbus who fought a war with Rome in 508 B.C. and whose army was held off by Horatius Cocles.
