Titus Veturius Calvinus

Titus Veturius Calvinus

Titus Veturius Calvinus was a Roman statesman and consul during the Second Samnite War. His father, Titus Veturius Cavinus, was consul in 334 BC.

As consul in 321, Calvinus and the other consul, Spurius Postumius Albinus, were defeated by the Samnites at the Battle of the Caudine Forks where they were cornered in a mountain pass and forced to surrender, after which their army was forced to "march under the yoke," a symbolic gesture of submission to an enemy. [Livy, "Ab Urbe Condita," 9.1-6; Appian, "History or Rome", cited in Constantine Porphyrogenitus, "The Embassies", §5.] After returning to Rome, Postumius suggested that the consuls be handed over to the Samnites for having made a disgraceful peace with them, but the Samnites rejected this offer. [Livy, "Periochae", 9.1.]
