2. T.LucretiusTriciptinus, T. F., consul in B. C. 508 with P. Valerius Publicola, in which year he fought against the Etruscans, who had attacked Rome under Porseina, and he is said by Dionysius to have been wounded in the battle. Dionysius, however, places the invasion of Porsena in the following year, and according represents Triciptinus as one of the generals of the Roman army under the consuls. (Liv. 2.8, 11; Dionys. A. R. 5.20, 22, 23.) Triciptinus wits consul a second time in B. C. 504 with P. Valerius Publicola, in which year the consuls carried on the war against the Sabines with success. (Liv. 2.16; Dionys. A. R. 5.40, foll.)
