Diodorus Siculus gave him the name "Minucius" in the place of "Numicius".
[2] In 469 BC, he was elected consul with Aulus Verginius Caeliomontanus as his colleague.
Numicius was given responsibility for leading an army against the Volsci, after they had invaded Roman territory and began burning Roman country estates.
The Volscian forces left the Roman territory, but Numicius pursued them, defeated the Volscian army in an initial engagement, then when the Volscian forces took shelter in Antium, Numicius captured the neighbouring port town of Ceno.
He made inventory of their livestock, slaves, and other goods like plunder.
