Lucius Albinius
Lucius Albinius
is the name of at least two people of ancient Rome:
Lucius
Albinus
, one of the
tribunes of the plebs
, at the first
institution
of
the office
in
493 BC
.
Asconius Pedianus
calls
him Lucius Albinius Paterculus.
Lucius Albinius, a
plebeian
who was conveying his
wife
and children in a cart out of
the city
after the
defeat on the Allia
in
390 BC
, and overtook on the
Janiculus
the
priests
and
vestals
carrying the
sacred
things
. He made his
family
get out
of the
wagon
and took as many sacred
objects
as he was able to
Caere
. The
consular tribune
in
379 BC
whom
Livy
calls "Marcus Albinius", is
probably
the same
person
.
