Spurius Furius Medullinus Fusus (consul 464 BC)


Spurius Furius Medullinus Fusus (d. 453 BC) was a Roman politician in the 5th century BC, and was consul in 464 BC, and consul suffect in 453 BC.

Medullinus was the brother of Publius Furius Medullinus Fusus, consul in 472 BC. The cognomina Medullinus Fusus has been reconstructed from multiple sources.Dionysius of Halicarnassus gives the praenomen Servius in place of Spurius. Medullinus was the father of Lucius Furius Medullinus (military tribune with consular power in 432, 425, and 420 BC).

In 464 BC, he was elected consul with Aulus Postumius Albus Regillensis. The two consuls led separate campaigns against the Aequi, Medullinus in Hernician territory. The consuls left Rome in the hands of Lucius Valerius Potitus Publicola, who they named Praefectus Urbi.

In 453 BC a pestilence ravaged Rome. According to Dionysius of Halicarnassus, a Spurius Fusus (probably the consul of 464 BC), was made consul suffect to replace the consul Sextus Quinctilius Varus, who died from the pestilence. Medullinus also died of the pestilence later that year.
