(Dentatus), a tribune of the people, lived a little after the expulsion of the kings from Rome. He was in 120 battles and skirmishes, besides single combats, in all of which he came off conqueror. He served under nine generals, all of whom triumphed by his means. In these battles he received 45 wounds in the fore-part of his body, and not one in his back. The senate made him great presents, and he was honoured with the name of the Roman Achilles.
