Marcus Valerius Corvus was one of the most prominent commanders of the mid-Roman Republic—and one of the least studied.He held the consulship six times, served as dictator, and commanded Roman armies during the conflicts with the Gauls, Latins, and Samnites. Tradition credits him with defeating a Gallic champion in single combat, earning the cognomen Corvus, and living to the age of one hundred. Yet no dedicated modern study has examined his career in full.This volume gathers every surviving ancient reference, such as Livy, Valerius Maximus, Pliny, Aulus Gellius, Frontinus, and the Fasti, and evaluates them critically within their historical context. Where the evidence is clear, it is stated plainly. Where it is uncertain, the limits are acknowledged.The book includes a chronological timeline, source concordance, and glossary. Read more
