See also:CAMILLUS, See also:MARCUS FURIUS , See also:Roman soldier and statesman, of patrician descent, See also:censor in 403 B.C. He triumphed four times, was five times See also:dictator, and was honoured with the See also:title of Second Founder of See also:Rome. When accused of having unfairly distributed the spoil taken at See also:Veii, which was captured by him after a ten years' See also:siege, he went into voluntary See also:- EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap, consul, &c.; the connexion with solum, soil, country is now generally considered wrong)
exile at See also:Ardea. The real cause of complaint against him was no doubt his patrician haughtiness and his triumphal entry into Rome in a See also:chariot See also:drawn by See also:- WHITE

Subsequently the See also:Romans, when besieged in the Capitol by the Gauls, created him dictator; he completely defeated the enemy (but see See also:BRENNUS and RoME: See also:History, ii., " The See also:Republic ") and drove them from Roman territory. He dissuaded the Romans, disheartened by the devastation wrought by the Gauls, from migrating to Veii, and induced them to rebuild the See also:city. He afterwards fought success-fully against the See also:Aequi, See also:Volsci and Etruscans, and repelled a fresh invasion of the Gauls in 367. Though patrician in sympathy, he saw the See also:necessity of making concessions to the plebeians and was instrumental in passing the Licinian See also:laws. He died of the See also:plague in the eighty-first See also:year of his See also:age (365). The See also:story of Camillus is no doubt largely traditional. To this See also:element prob-ably belongs the story of the schoolmaster who, when Camillus was attacking See also:Falerii (q.v.), attempted to betray the See also:town by bringing into his See also:camp the sons of some of the See also:principal inhabit-ants of the See also:place. Camillus, it is said, had him whipped back into the town by his pupils, and the Faliscans were so affected by this generosity that they at once surrendered.
