Manius Valerius Maximus, son of Volusus, dictator, augur. He was nominated dictator prior to holding any magistracy. He celebrated a triumph over Sabines and Medullines. He led the plebs out from the Sacred Mountain and reconciled (it) with the fathers (that is, patricians). On his proposal the senate released the people from grave debts. A curule chair was given to him and his posterity as spectator’s seat at Murcia’s (sanctuary). Once he was recorded the first in the list of the senators.
