Marcus Genucius Augurinus


Marcus Genucius Augurinus L. f. L. n., brother of Titus Genucius Augurinus, was a statesman of the Genucia gens of ancient Rome who lived in the 5th century BCE.
Augurinus was consul in 445 BCE, the year in which the office of consular tribune was instituted. He and his consular colleague Gaius Curtius Philo opposed the lex Canuleia, which aimed to establish conubium between the patricians and plebeians. However they failed, and the law carried.
After that law was passed, Marcus consulted with his brother, Titus, on ways to resolve the Conflict of the Orders, although some accused them of carrying on the business of the state in secret.
