Spurius Antius

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spurius Antius was one of four Roman envoys sent to Fidenae[1] after it revolted against Roman rule and allied itself with the Etruscan city state of Veii.[2] He, and the other Roman emissaries, were murdered on the orders of the King of Veii, Lars Tolumnius.

A statue of him, along with those of his fellow murdered ambassadors, stood for a time on the rostrum in the Roman Forum.[3][4]
