Publius Manlius Capitolinus was a Roman statesman who served as Dictator in 368 BC.[1]

Family

[edit]

A member of the patrician gens Manlia, Capitolinus was the brother of Marcus Manlius Capitolinus, consul in 392 BC.

Career

[edit]

In 368 BC, Capitolinus succeeded Marcus Furius Camillus as Dictator, who was forced to step down by the tribunes.[2] Capitolinus successfully brokered a settlement between the plebeians and patricians.[3] He appointed either Gaius Licinius Calvus or Gaius Licinius Stolo as Magister Equitum, the first plebeian to hold the office.
