gaius veturius geminus cicurinus

gaius vetusius geminus cicurinus a.k.a. publius vetusius geminus cicurinus -lrb- latin `` publius -lrb- also gaius , lucius -rrb- veturius geminus cicurinus '' -rrb- was a roman republican politician during the beginning of the 5th century bc .
he served as consul of rome in 499 bc together with titus aebutius elva .
he was a member of the patrician class and of the veturia gens .
during his year as consul , the romans laid siege to the chameria city of fidenae which was taken successfully .
during this year , the latins also announced their succession from rome .
according to titus livius -lrb- ii , 19 -rrb- , his prenomen is caius , but according to dionysius of halicarnassus , he was known as `` publius '' .
in fact it does appear that `` publius '' is more likely his correct name as p. veturius was one of the first quaestors and was likely the same person as the consul of 499 bc .
his cognomen , `` geminus '' brings attention to his -lrb- presumed -rrb- twin brother titus veturius geminus cicurinus who was himself consul in 494 bc .
