5th-century BC politician and Volscian military leader
Attius Tullius was a well-respected and influential political and military leader of the Volsci in the early fifth century BC. According to Plutarch,[1] who calls him Tullus Aufidius, his home town was Antium. Tullius sheltered the exiled Roman hero Gaius Marcius Coriolanus, then incited a war with Rome, in which he and Coriolanus led the Volscian forces. He appears in William Shakespeare's tragedy Coriolanus under the name of Tullus Aufidius.[2][3]
