Lucius Siccius Dentatus

Lucius Siccius or Sicinius Dentatus (died c. 450 BC) is a supposed Roman soldier, primus pilus, and tribune, famed for his martial bravery.

[1] Dionysius of Halicarnassus gives him the crucial role in a battle between the consul Titus Romilius Rocus Vaticanus of 455 BC and the Aequi.

[4][5] According to various Roman antiquarian sources,[6] likely originating largely from Varro, Siccius participated in many military campaigns.

[7] SP Oakley, a classicist, wrote in the Classical Quarterly that these exploits are "exaggerated beyond credibility".

[8] Those antiquarian sources report that Siccius was eight times champion in single combat, with forty five scars on the front of his body and none on the rear.
