Mamercus Aemilius Mamercinus

Mamercus Aemilius Mamercinus was a political figure in the

consular tribune in 438 BC and dictator three times in 437, 434, and 426 BC.^[1]

Prior to gaining the imperium Aemilius was, in 446 BC, elected

Lucius Valerius Potitus. They were, according to Tacitus, the first elected quaestors of the Republic.^[2]^[3]

His first and third dictatorships involved wars against the Veintines and Fidenates. He was victorious both times, capturing Fidenae in 426 BC.

His second dictatorship in 434 BC was occasioned by fear of an impending war with

tribe, increase his tax burden eight-fold, and brand him an aerarian.^[5]
