The ringleaders of the conspiracy were crucified and as a reward for their loyal service, the two slaves who had divulged the plot were given their freedom as well as a considerable sum of money.
[3][4][5][6] Nautius was elected for a second term as consular tribune in 416 BC together with Aulus Sempronius Atratinus, Marcus Papirius Mugillanus and Quintus Fabius Vibulanus.
The year saw the proposal of a new agrarian law by the tribunes of the plebs, Spurius Maecilius and Marcus Metilius, which was vetoed by their own colleagues.
Little is recorded of the events during this year but it was in the middle of a period of strife in Rome in regards to cries for agrarian reforms and wars against the Aequi and the Volscians.
The name of the consular tribune is attested as Spurius as shown in the Fasti Capitolini and the works of Livy and Diodorus.
