A new magistrate was created during this year, that of the censorship, to free the consuls from the holding of the census and to focus on military affairs.
[8][9][10][11][12] Geganius held a third and final consulship in 437 BC with first time consul Lucius Sergius Fidenas.
Geganius fought the Veientes south of the Anio, and although he defeated his foe the victory came at heavy loss for the Romans.
Possibly because of the heavy losses against the Veientes or for reasons otherwise unknown, Geganius abdicated his consulship and was replaced by Marcus Valerius Lactuca Maximus.
The classicist scholar Mommsen argues that with the erection and approval of the Villa Publica that Geganius and Furius should be considered the first historically authentic censors.
