Aulus Verginius Tricostus Caeliomontanus

Aulus Verginius Tricostus Caeliomontanus (also spelt Virginius) was a Roman Republican politician and general of the gens Verginia. He served as a Roman consul in 494 BC together with Titus Veturius Geminus Cicurinus

Family Origins
Caeliomontanus is the name of one of the families of the gens Verginia (also spelled Virginia). Almost all the members of this branch of the family were named Tricostus and the Caeliomontanus name was without a doubt taken from the fact that the family originally came from the Caelian hill. This would have distinguished this branch of the family from others in the same gens.

Consulship
During his consulship, Verginius was assigned three legions to deal with the neighbouring Volsci who had taken up arms. Verginius successfully invaded and waged war against the Volsci, and captured the town of Velitrae in which a Roman colony was planted.
