Manlius belonged to the Manlia gens, one of the oldest patrician gentes of the Republic. Manlius' father, taken from filiations, was named Aulus which would identify him as Aulus Manlius Vulso, decemviri 451 BC, or another otherwise unattested individual. His grandfather was most likely Gnaeus Manlius Cincinnatus, consul 480 BC but can also have been Gnaeus Manlius Vulso, consul 474 BC.

This included the Volsci, Aequi, Veii, Falisci, Capenates and the Tarquinii. Manlius and his colleagues were forced to abdicate because of faults in the election process and a new college was appointed. Julius and Furius is not included among the names provided by Diodorus on his college of 397 BC.[16][17][18][19][20]
Manlius is last mentioned in our sources as one of three ambassadors sent to Delphi in 394 BC to give offerings to
