Hostus Lucretius Tricipitinus was a consul of the Roman republic in 429 BC.[1]
Lucretius belonged to the ancient patrician Lucretia gens whose ancestors had been among the first consuls of the Republic. Lucretius was (presumably) the son of Lucius Lucretius Tricipitinus, consul in 462 BC, and the father of Publius Lucretius Tricipitinus, consular tribune in 419 BC.[2]
Diodorus Siculus has his praenomen as Opiter, while both Livy and Cassiodorus has him named Hostus.[3][4][5][6]
