Maluginensis

• a Roman surname in the gens Cornelia, e. g. M. Cornelius Maluginensis, Liv. 4, 21.

a celebrated patrician family of the Cornelia gens in the early ages of the republic. It disappears from history even before the time of the Samnite wars. This family seems to have been originally the same as that of Cossus, since we find at first both surnames united. [See No. 1.] Afterwards, however, the Cossi and Maluginenses became two separate families. [Cossus.]

1. Ser. Cornelius Cossus Maluginensis, P. F., consul B. C. 485 with Q. Fabius Vibulanus, in which year Sp. Cassius was condemned. Maluginenses carried on war against the Veientes with success. (Liv. 2.41; Dionys. A. R. 8.77, 82.)

2. L. Cornelius Ser. F. P. N. Maluginensis, consul B. C. 459 with Q. Fabius Vibulanus. The consuls of this year carried on war against the Volsci and the Aequi with great glory and success. According to some accounts Maluginensis took Antium, and we learn front the triumphal Fasti that he obtained a triumph for his victory over the Antiates. (Liv. 3.22-24; Dionys. A. R. 10.20, 21; Diod. 11.86.) He is mentioned as one of the defenders in the senate of the second decemvirate in B. C. 449, because his brother Marcus was one of the number (Liv. 3.40; Dionys. A. R. 11.15); but if we can rely upon the Fasti, in which Marcus is called Ser., L. F. N., we must understand frater and ἀδελφός to mean first cousin, and not brother.

3. M. Cornelius Ser., L. F. N. Maluginensis, a member of the second decemvirate. [See No. 2.] (Liv. 3.35, 40, 41; Dionys. A. R. 10.58, 11.15, 23.)

4. M. Cornelius Maluginensis, M. F., consul B. C. 436 with L. Papirius Crassus. (Liv. 4.21; Diod. 12.46.)

5. P. Cornelius Maluginensis, M. F. M. N., one of the consular tribunes, B. C. 404. (Liv. 4.61; Diod. 14.19.)

6. P. Cornelius Maluginensis, P. F. M. N., consular tribune in B. C. 397 (Liv. 5.16; Diod. 14.85), and magister equitum to the dictator M. Furius Camillus in B. C. 396. At least the Fasti Capitolini name Maluginensis as the magister equitum in this year; but Livy (5.19) and Plutarch (Camill. 5) call the magister equitum P. Cornelius Scipio. He was consular tribune a second time in B. C. 390, the year in which Rome was taken by the Gauls. (Liv. 5.36; Diod. 14.110.) In Diodorus and in the common editions of Livy his praenomen is Servius, but in some of the best MSS. of Livy he is called Publius.

7. P. Cornelius Maluginensis Cossus, consular tribune B. C. 395, and consul B. C. 393 with L. Valerius Potitus. [Cossus, No. 9.]

8. M. Cornelius Maluginensis, P. F. P. N., was elected censor in B. C. 393, to supply the place of C. Julius Julus, who had died in his year of office; but as Rome was taken by the Gauls in this lustrum, this practice was considered of ill omen, and no censor was ever elected again in place of one who had died in his year of office. (Liv. 5.31, 9.34.)

9. Ser. Cornelius Maluginensis, P. F. M. N., seven times consular tribune: the first time in B. C. 386, the second time in B. C. 384, the third time in B. C. 382, the fourth time in B. C. 380, the fifth time in B. C. 376 (Livy does not mention the consular tribunes of this year, see Diod. 15.71, and Anonym. Noris.), the sixth time in B. C. 370, and a seventh time in B. C. 368. (Liv. 6.6, 18, 22, 27, 36, 38.)

10. M. Cornelius Maluginensis, consular tribune in B. C. 369, and again in B. C. 367. (Liv. 6.36, 42.)

11. Ser. Cornelius SER. F. M. N. Maluginensis, magister equitum to the dictator F. Quinctius Pennus Capitolinus Crispinus, B. C. 361, who was appointed to conduct the war against the Gauls. (Liv. 7.9.) [Capitolinus, Quinctius, No. 7.]
