He was the son of Tiberius Sempronius Longus[1] who commanded Roman legions during the Second Punic War and was the consular colleague of Scipio Africanus’ father.
During his time as consul, Tiberius oversaw the Roman colonization of Puteoli, Volturnum, Liternum, Salernum and Buxentum.
Tiberius ordered his troops to hold, anticipating reinforcements, but the Boii attacked after three days of waiting.
The exits of the fort were so packed with enemy soldiers that the Romans were unable to get out, and by the time they fought their way to open ground, Gauls had broken through the defenses in two other places.
[3] Tiberius settled in Placentia, in Cisalpine Gaul, at the end of his consulship, and little is written about him after that time.
