Titus Verginius Tricostus Caeliomontanus (consul 448 BC)

Titus Verginius Tricostus Caeliomontanus was consul of the Roman Republic in 448 BC with Lars Herminius Aquilinus.

Caeliomontanus belonged to the patrician gens Verginia, which was of Etruscan origin, arriving to Rome with the Tarquins.

The first member of the family to reach the consulship was Opiter Verginius Tricostus in 502, in the early years of the Roman Republic.

[5] Robert Maxwell Ogilvie suggested instead Aulus Verginius, consul in 469, as his father, with a more credible 21 years gap between them.

[7][8][9] Their year of office was relatively peaceful, as neither consul took sides during the Conflict of the Orders, the social struggle that opposed patricians and plebeians during the first two centuries of the Republic.
