Biography[]

During his tenure as consul, the plebs rioted in Rome and established a camp on Mount Sacro and the office of the Tribune of the Plebs was created. Titus Veturius was sent to fight against the Aequi who had invaded the territory of the Latins. the Aequi quickly retired and fled to the mountains.

His son, Titus Veturius Geminus Cicurinus who was also named in the twin format, became consul in 462 BC.
