A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

1. L. PUBLILIUS VOLER. N. PHILO VOLSCUS, L. F., consular tribune B. C. 400, is called by Livy a patrician, but this is certainly an error, since the family was without question plebeian. Livy likewise calls him simply L. Publilius Volscus, but we learn from the Capitoline Fasti that Philo was also one of his surnames. (Liv. 5.12; Fast. Capit.)
